In 2020, she found her true calling, in helping business owners and entrepreneurs like you to reach your goals and obtain the success and freedom you desire.

Sarah has personally experienced the rollercoaster of business whilst running her law firm. From core marketing techniques for creating leads, converting leads into sales, to changes in technology to improve efficiency, adjustments to credit control processes, staffing restructures to name just a few. She will no doubt share with you the challenges she faced and the mistakes she made, so that you can avoid them!

Sarah is dynamic and has a no-nonsense approach, whilst retaining a friendly and open environment for trades and construction businesses to approach her on any issues they may be facing right now.

It is her commercial advice with her specialist knowledge and experience which will helps businesses thrive not just survive.
Her aim is to help busineses within the trades and construction industry become more efficient and effective and therefore more profitable. She does this by focusing on mindset, vision, systems and processes.

Mindset - 80% of your success is built on your belief in yourself. 20% is based on hard work.

Business Vision - As Simon Sinek says “Start with Why” Why did you start your business? Do your staff know and believe in your Why?

Systems and Processes - 85% of the reasons for failure to meet customer expectations are related to deficiencies in systems and processes … rather than the employee

In her view, there is no doubt that even 10% improvement in one area such as financials, sales, or marketing would significantly impacts profitability.

10% Improved Efficiency = Increased Profitability = Growth = Freedom for you the Business Owner
