Mentoring and Advice
“Although my self-esteem was low at the time, it grew rapidly once I met Sara. She was incredibly encouraging, warm, open, knowledgeable, and resourceful. It felt like there was nothing she didn’t know.”
Annie Murray, Edit Sweet and HORIZON

Starting up a business is exciting but can also feel like a blur of things to do. It’s hard to know what actions to take and self-doubt is a regular visitor.
I work with early-stage founders of good businesses to give them clarity on what steps to take and confidence in their decision-making so they can set up businesses that stand the test of time.

Looking to tap into the experience of a specialist who also knows the realities of starting up a good business?
Join other first-time impact entrepreneurs once a month to ask me questions about starting up your business and I’ll share my insights and mindsets so you don’t have to learn the hard way. All sessions will be recorded and stored in a library to be accessed when you want.
Here are real-life queries I have worked with other good business founders on in these sessions:
How should I go about finding out my customer’s needs?
What legal structure should I choose if I am looking to get both grant funding and investment for my business?
How have you developed your membership model and what have you learned?
How do I build a business model that allows me to work with clients who aren’t able to pay for my services?
How would you approach outreach using digital marketing tools?
What challenges have you faced when communicating your message to your audience?
This is my idea, what would you do next?
1-2-1 Mentoring
£510 (6 x 45 min)
My mentoring approach is focused on sharing insights from my own experience coupled with practical tools and the structure to keep the momentum going.
Every founder has their own goal and here are the top areas I have helped other businesses reach:
Business Plan: I’d like to create a business plan that helps me think about all the areas of my business so I feel confident I have created a solid foundation for my business model
Roadmap: I’d like to create a 12-month Roadmap so I can be clear and confident with the steps I should be taking to set up for long-term sustainability
Finances: I’d like to review my pricing and financial models so I can be confident I am valuing my worth as well as ensuring I am set up for long-term sustainability
Getting Investment Ready: I’d like to review my business plan and pitch deck so that I can confidently approach investors to raise funds to launch my business
Business Review
£225 (1.5 hr)
Got a business idea that has a purpose beyond just making profit and want to sense check it with someone and get feedback on if it's got legs? Would you like some suggestions on what steps you should be focusing on next?
Book a 1.5 hour 1-2-1 review session and get constructive feedback from a startup expert.
You'll be prompted to prepare for the session and share where you are with the idea - where the idea has come from, what you’ve done to date, what are the current sticking points.
This will allow us to make the most of the time together - focused on constructive feedback and suggested next steps.
These are all virtual sessions conducted on Zoom and can be booked at times that suits you.

“Before I met Sara I was so unfocused that I was trying to fix everything, all at once. Now I have a 12-month plan where I actually prioritise how to approach the setup.
The sense of overwhelm has hugely reduced.”
Alex Delaney, Good Grief Gift Co.

“Before our session, I was unsure about whether my current business model was still right for me. After our chat, I had a completely different perspective on it.
I feel that I am on the right path, I feel more trust in myself and my business.”
Roxy Van Der Post, Myosotis
