Building A Small Business That Supports The Life You Want In Sussex?
Thoughtful mentoring for Sussex small business owners who want success without sacrificing what matters most
Running a small business while maintaining the lifestyle and values that matter to you requires a different approach than conventional business advice suggests. You want to grow and succeed, but not at the expense of your wellbeing, creativity, or personal relationships.
The challenge is finding guidance that understands this balance. Most business advice assumes you’re willing to sacrifice everything for growth, but that doesn’t align with why many Sussex small business owners chose entrepreneurship in the first place.

Thoughtful mentoring for Sussex small business owners who want success without sacrificing what matters most
Running a small business here in Sussex is rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Every decision, challenge and opportunity lands with you, and it’s easy to feel the weight of it all.
When you’re working hard to maintain high standards and stay competitive, it can feel even tougher. You don’t have to do it alone, having someone to offer support, fresh ideas and encouragement can make a real difference.
Small Business Mentoring Sussex
I work with Sussex small business owners who know that sustainable success is about more than just revenue. Whether you’re a creative freelancer in Brighton, running a wellness practice in Chichester, or managing a seasonal business along the coast, I’m by your side, helping you make decisions with clarity, stay true to your values, and move your vision forward with confidence.
When I built The Busylizzy Club from a single idea to 50+ franchise locations serving over 55,000 families, I had to learn how to grow while maintaining the personal connection and community focus that made the business special. I discovered that sustainable success often means saying no to opportunities that don’t align with your values, even when they might bring short term profit.
My mentoring helps you navigate business challenges while staying true to your original vision. You’ll gain clarity on how to make decisions that support both your business goals and your personal priorities.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you balance business ambition with lifestyle priorities in a small business?
The key is defining success on your own terms rather than accepting external expectations. I help you identify what really matters to you personally, then build small business strategies that support those priorities. Many Sussex small business owners find they achieve better financial results with less stress this way.
Can you really build a successful small business with a relaxed approach?
Relaxed doesn’t mean uncommitted, it means sustainable. Some of the most successful small businesses operate with clear boundaries, strong values, and long term thinking. This often leads to better client relationships, higher satisfaction, and more reliable growth than high pressure approaches.
How do you handle seasonal challenges that affect Sussex small businesses?
We work with seasonal patterns rather than fighting them. This might mean developing complementary services for quiet periods, building financial reserves during busy times, or creating small business models that thrive year round. Many seasonal small businesses are more profitable per hour than constant pressure operations.
What if I need to make difficult decisions about my small business?
Difficult decisions become clearer when you have a trusted thinking partner who understands your situation and values. I provide perspective, help you consider options, and support you through challenging periods without pressuring you toward any particular choice.
Do you work with creative small businesses and lifestyle companies?
Many of my Sussex clients are creative professionals, wellness practitioners, and lifestyle small businesses. These require different approaches than traditional business mentoring, focusing on personal satisfaction, community impact, and sustainable practices alongside financial success.
