The Business Fixer

The Business Fixer Where business performance creates real freedom. You have built a solid business. It works. But behind the scenes, it relies on you more than you want.

We work with business owners ready to take their business to the next level by strengthening what’s working, refining what holds performance back, and creating the freedom to live life on their own terms. You are still carrying the decisions, the expectations, and the responsibility. Even when things are going great, it is hard to fully switch off. The business performs, but it does not feel how you want it to feel. At this stage, the answer is not more effort or more tactics. It is strengthening the foundations, so the business performs consistently without depending on you. That is what we do at The Business Fixer. We strengthen what is already working and refine what holds performance back, putting the right foundations in place so the business no longer depends on you. This creates the freedom to lead, to step back, and the ability to choose what comes next. A different approach to business performance

We work with established service based business owners who are ready to take their business to the next level without sacrificing their life, values, or sense of self to get there. Our work focuses on refining what is already working and addressing what quietly limits performance. Through The Business Fixer Toolkit, we create structure and clarity across the core areas of the business so performance is consistent and sustainable, without everything running through you. The Business Fixer Toolkit is built on lessons learned through real experience, so you do not have to learn them the hard way inside your own business. When the foundations are right, growth takes care of itself.

πŸ” What we focus on

The Business Fixer Toolkit supports business owners across:

Business Planning
Clear direction, priorities, and a practical roadmap for decision making. Financial Performance
Confidence in the numbers that matter, predictable cash flow, and informed choices. Marketing
Clear positioning and consistent activity that attracts the right clients. Sales
Simple, effective processes that convert well and do not rely on owner involvement. Client Delivery
Clear expectations, systems, and ownership that protect quality without constant oversight. Leadership and Mindset
Stepping fully into the role of leader rather than operator, building team ownership, and moving away from carrying everything yourself. Each area is strengthened in the right order, creating progress without overwhelm.

🧭 How we work

Our coaching is clear, direct, and supportive. We work alongside you to provide structure and accountability, without taking control away. As clarity increases and pressure reduces, many clients rediscover their energy and enjoyment in their business. This is not about quick fixes or growth at any cost. It is about building a business that performs consistently and creates the freedom to live life on your own terms.

πŸ‘₯ Who this is for

The Business Fixer works with established business owners who have built something solid, but know the business still relies on them more than it should. They are ready to strengthen performance, reduce dependency, and lead with greater clarity and control, without losing what they have already built.

➑️ Next step
A Business Performance Strategy Session gives you the space to step back from the day to day and look clearly at where the business is performing consistently, where it is relying on you too heavily, and what needs attention next. It is a focused conversation designed to create clarity and direction, and to determine whether working together is the right fit. You can book a free Business Performance Strategy Session using the button on this page. If you are not ready for a conversation yet, the Business Performance Health Check is a practical starting point to assess where the business is performing well and where it may be relying on you too heavily.

Last week I hosted The Business Fixer Live, and the week before I attended BizFest. Two brilliant events that got me thinking about intention.

Whether you’re creating an event, attending one or walking into a networking room, do you actually stop and think about what you want to get from it?

For The Business Fixer Live, my intention was clear. I wanted people to leave feeling inspired, energised and ready to implement something they’d learned.

A day full of genuine value. Not a pitch fest.

The same applies when we attend events or go networking. Are you there to learn? Build relationships? Find opportunities? Get some thinking space?

There doesn’t need to be a complicated answer, but I do think there should be one.

What are your intentions when attending or creating an event? Let me know in the comments below. πŸ‘‡

I DID IT! πŸŽ‰

Yesterday, I pulled off The Business Fixer Live 2026.

I’ve wanted to create an event like this for years, and this year I decided that come hell or high water, I was going to make it happen.

There have been plenty of reasons I could have stopped along the way, including a car accident in July and a number of personal challenges. But I didn’t.

And yesterday, I finally got to see it come to life.

The energy, conversations, speakers, networking and genuine connections were incredible, and the feedback I’ve already received about the value and professionalism of the day has blown me away.

I couldn’t have done it without the brilliant sponsors, speakers, event team and everyone who supported, attended and helped make the first Business Fixer Live happen. Thank you ❀️

I’ve learned a huge amount.

And one thing is certain…

The Business Fixer Live will be back in 2027. πŸš€

Want to be the first to hear about it? Comment LIVE 2027 below.

And if there’s something you’ve been putting off in your own business, maybe it’s time to stop waiting and make it happen.

🎀 You can't mark your own homework.

That's something my MC, Alice Dartnell, says often, and it's exactly why she's more than just hosting The Business Fixer Live for me.
Alice is an award-winning Time & Energy Management coach, speaker, author and experienced event host, known for a high-energy, straight-talking, interactive style that gets audiences properly involved rather than just watching from their seats.

She's created and hosted her own events, including The Big Business Breakthrough Event and The 'Non-Networking' Networking, and hosts two podcasts, Unf*ck Your Flow and Take Action, and Confessions of an ADHDer.

She's also my own business coach, and has been an important sounding board as I've built and grown this business, challenging my thinking and asking the questions I might otherwise avoid.

On 24th September, she'll be alongside me throughout, keeping the energy high and making sure each session flows naturally into the next, so the day feels like something you're part of, not simply a series of talks you sit and watch.

πŸ‘‹ Come and meet Alice on the 24th: https://www.rfr.bz/f9f980e8c

Three days until The Business Fixer Live, and I won't pretend the to-do list has got any shorter this week.

If you're booked in, I can't wait to see you at Firstsite on Thursday. If you're joining online, keep an eye out for your login details.
And if you've been meaning to book but haven't quite got there yet, this is genuinely one of the last chances. In-person places are subject to availability, and online is free if Colchester isn't practical.

Whichever way you're joining us, here's what you're walking into: a full day away from the day-to-day, real conversations with people who've actually lived what they're talking about, and hopefully something that shifts how you think about your own business by the time you leave.

πŸ“Έ When somebody encounters your business for the first time, they're forming an impression before you've had long to explain what you actually do.

Meet Tina Wing, our official event photographer and one of our Supporting Sponsors at The Business Fixer Live.

Tina is an award-winning Essex-based photographer specialising in business, brand, events, food and product photography, and her mission is simple: create vibrant photography that tells the real story of a business.

She's also the founder of the Business Brand Club, a mix of networking, learning, support and brand photography that meets once a month in a different location, built for business owners who don't want to be figuring it all out alone.

On the day, Tina will be capturing the speakers, the networking, the exhibition area and the wider energy of the room, so your stand, your branding and the way you show up will all become part of the story too.

If your own business could do with imagery that actually looks like you, go and say hello.

This time next week, The Business Fixer Live will be underway. The room will be full, the speakers will be on stage, and the conversations will be happening.

If you've been meaning to be there in person, now is the time to book, subject to availability.

Here's what a day like this actually gives you: space to think properly about your business instead of just reacting to it, real conversations that go somewhere rather than another stack of business cards, and the chance to ask your own questions live, to people who've genuinely lived what they teach.

And somewhere in the day, something usually clicks. An idea. A decision you've been putting off. A different way of looking at something that's been sitting in the back of your mind for months.

You don't need a particular turnover, or a particular size of team, or to have everything sorted. Wherever you're starting from, this day meets you there.

This is the kind of day that's easy to miss and hard to make up for once it's gone.

When did you last actually pick up the phone?

Not to answer one. To make a call to a potential client, follow up an enquiry or speak to someone you've been meaning to reconnect with.

For a lot of business owners, the phone has become one of the most avoided tools in the business.

That's where Anthony Stears β€” The Telephone Assassin β€” comes in.

Anthony isn't coming to The Business Fixer Live to teach you how to make hundreds of cold calls.

His approach is about getting businesses talking again and helping customers to buy, rather than teaching people how to sell.
He'll be sharing a practical structure to help you:

πŸ“ž Get someone to actually listen
πŸ“ž Build rapport quickly
πŸ“ž Establish credibility and perfect your pitch
πŸ“ž Create urgency without sounding pushy
πŸ“ž Prevent pipeline constipation

Anthony has spent more than 15 years helping businesses improve the conversations they have with customers and prospects, and his session is designed to give you something you can actually use the next time you pick up the phone.

And if you're joining us in person, you'll also receive a copy of Anthony's book as part of your ticket.

π—•π—˜ π—œπ—‘ π—§π—›π—˜ π—₯𝗒𝗒𝗠.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is get out of it for a day.

Away from the inbox. Away from the client work. Away from the same four walls where you've been trying to solve the same problems.

Because changing your environment can change your thinking.

You hear someone talk about something you've been wrestling with and suddenly see it differently.

Someone asks the question you hadn't thought to ask.

A conversation over coffee gives you an idea.

You meet another business owner who understands exactly what you're dealing with β€” because they're dealing with their own version of it too.

And sometimes simply being away from the day-to-day gives you enough space to realise what actually needs your attention next.
That's why I want people in the room at The Business Fixer Live.

Not to spend a day passively listening and leave with pages of notes you'll never look at again.

I want you to leave with fresh perspectives, genuine connections and at least one practical thing you're going to do differently when you're back in the business.

And hopefully with a bit more energy for what you've built too.

Your in-person ticket is just Β£15.

So if you're within reach of Colchester, don't watch this one from your desk.

Come and be in the room.

15/09/2026

A while ago I went to Snetterton Race Track for a car event, engines roaring, tyres screeching, crowds buzzing. But what caught my attention most wasn't the noise, it was the refinement.

The cars that impressed me most weren't the ones trying to prove themselves, they were the ones that knew exactly what they were built for.

Driving home, it struck me that's exactly how great selling works too.

This week's blog is about reframing sales as service instead of pressure.

When people picture sales, they picture the loud, pushy type who won't take no for an answer, the equivalent of a car revving just to be noticed, all noise and no nuance.

But the most successful salespeople today don't think of themselves as selling.

They think of themselves as serving, and that single shift removes most of the anxiety business owners feel around it.

The blog covers five practical ways to make that shift: leading with curiosity instead of control, owning your value without over-explaining it, using silence instead of rushing to fill it, making it genuinely safe for someone to say no, and focusing on the outcome rather than the offer.

This is exactly what Anthony Stears, The Telephone Assassin, will be showing you in his session at The Business Fixer Live on 24th September, called Pipeline Perfection: Mastering Telephone Sales. He'll show you a simple call structure to take control of your conversations. How to build rapport and credibility quickly, without sounding scripted. And how to create genuine urgency without it ever feeling pushy, because his approach isn't about teaching you to sell, it's about showing you how to help people buy.

If sales conversations still feel like something you have to force, this is the session to come to.
