Have you thought about setting up your own languages business?

Do you already have your own languages business but are stuck and need some advice or inspiration?

I can help

You don’t know where to start

You don’t know where to go next

You’d like to start to grow your business but you’re not sure what to do

You just need a little inspiration

You just need a chat with someone who’s been there before

You just need the opportunity to sound out a few ideas

Why I can help

I’ve been running my own languages teaching basis for a while now and I’ve gained a lot of experience doing it

I know how frustrating it can be to know that you’ve got a great product but just don’t know the next steps

Maybe an hour of my time is what would help you gain some clarity

You might just want a sounding board to help you to clarify an idea or sound out a new service you want to add to your business

To help us both prepare for your meeting I’ll ask you to download this document which will help us to focus on what you would like to develop

We can talk about anything that is impacting your business, such as:

  • finding new clients

  • marketing your languages business

  • setting up your languages business

  • dealing with particular problems in your languages business

  • chat through a new service for your business

  • sort out an action plan for your business

  • discuss any challenges you’ve come across in your business

This Power Hour is your time to talk to someone who has been there before and can offer help and support when you need it

Why would this benefit you?

  • being self-employed can be a lonely business and often even those fabulous ideas you have when you wake up in the middle of the night can be daunting to put into practise

  • you can bounce those ideas off me - and trust me to tell you if they are great or not so much!

  • you can tap into the experience of someone who’s walked the walk - I run my own languages business (very successfully) in the North East of England - take a look at my website here

  • talking to someone can bring a new perspective into your business - a new way of thinking that can trigger ideas in your head to keep your business expanding - and making you money

It’s time to really concentrate on your business so that you can start and develop it so that it gives you the living that you deserve

Book an hour with me and get:

  • clarity on the way forward for your languages business

  • support - yes sometimes we just need someone to tell us we’re doing the right thing - from a position of knowledge!

  • the benefit of my 12 years’+ experience of running a business

  • the opportunity to ask what’s really on your mind - to talk about what’s really bugging you about your business that might be stopping you from moving forward

Take a look at the calendar link here and you can book at a time that suits you

Where will the meeting take place?

On Zoom - I’ll send you a link and we’ll meet at a mutually convenient time
