Feeling The Pressure Of Running Your Surrey Small Business Alone?
Mentoring for Surrey small business owners
Running a small business is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Every decision, challenge and opportunity rests with you, and that can be a heavy load to carry.
But you don’t have to navigate it all alone. Support, fresh ideas and encouragement can make all the difference.

Strategic mentoring for Surrey small business owners
Leading a small business brings unique pressures that other people don’t always understand. Every decision rests with you. Every problem becomes your responsibility. Every opportunity requires your evaluation and action.
The isolation can be particularly challenging when you’re determined to maintain high standards and compete effectively. You didn’t start your small business to struggle alone with every significant decision.
Small Business Mentoring Surrey
I partner with ambitious small business owners in Surrey who know that doing your best work is easier with the right support. Whether you’re running a home-based consultancy in Guildford, building a busy retail business in Woking, or managing a thriving service company in Croydon, it helps to have someone by your side who understands both the challenges you face and the opportunities ahead.
Through my experience building The Busylizzy Club from an initial concept to 50+ franchise locations serving over 55,000 families, I understand the weight of business ownership. I’ve experienced the isolation of making decisions that affect other people’s livelihoods, the challenge of maintaining vision when facing setbacks, and the complexity of leading when everyone looks to you for answers.
My mentoring supports you as a small business owner who wants experienced guidance, honest accountability, and a trusted thinking partner. Someone who understands that running a successful small business requires both strategic thinking and emotional resilience.
Working Together
Working Together
In our 1:1 sessions, you’ll have a safe space to share the challenges, ideas and decisions on your mind. We’ll set meaningful goals together and I’ll check in to help you stay on track without feeling overwhelmed. Between our sessions, you can reach out on WhatsApp whenever you need quick reassurance or guidance, and I’ll be on hand by email to review documents or give feedback so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.
I’m available across Surrey for in-person sessions, or we can connect online with flexible virtual meetings that work around your busy schedule.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I don’t have time for lengthy sessions. How does this mentoring work?
Monthly sessions are focused and strategic rather than lengthy conversations. We tackle your biggest challenges efficiently. Plus you get WhatsApp support for urgent decisions between sessions. This isn’t about endless talking but about getting clarity quickly.
How is this different from other small business mentoring?
I’ve built and scaled a business to over 50 locations and continue to run it today. Instead of relying on theory and text books, I share practical guidance drawn from my real experience of what works, and what doesn’t, when you’re the one responsible for everything.
What if I need help with issues that aren’t strictly business strategy?
Small business challenges are rarely only about strategy. Uncertainty, constant decision-making, blurred work–life boundaries and dips in confidence can all get in the way. I help you cut through the noise, find clarity and get the support you need to move forward with confidence.
I’m already successful. Why would I need mentoring for my small business?
Success often brings new challenges including managing growth, making bigger decisions with higher stakes, and leading through more complex situations. Even elite athletes have coaches. The more successful you become, the more valuable external perspective becomes.
What happens if we don’t work well together or it’s not helping?
This is about a genuine partnership. If the support I’m providing is helping you and your business, we keep working together. If it’s no longer adding value, you’re free to step away. No long-term contracts, no complicated arrangements, just practical support when it matters most.
