The Business of Business® is an Accelerator Programme for entrepreneurs who love what they do, but aren't necessarily confident about running every part of their business.
The next Programme starts in September 2023 with just 16 spaces available.
Entrepreneurship is tough.
Running a business is an all-consuming endeavour.
It’s hard work, a long journey, and it's sometimes difficult to see the way forward beyond working more. But working more is not a sustainable strategy and in fact, there’s a better way.
This Programme will help you develop the skills you need to unlock the true potential of your business.
Tim Freed
CEO, Book That In
"Before I took part in the Business of Business® Accelerator Programme we were running our business with a lack of a clear future goal. Alan showed us how that was key and the foundation of everything. The Programme gives you clarity on where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. I’m so glad I took part. It was full of excellent content, and I would recommend it."
Where Are You Now?
Maybe you can relate to some of this:
-
You love your business, but you aren't confident about running every part of it.
-
You know where you want your business to go but don't know what steps to take to get there.
-
You're uncomfortable with Cash Flows, P&Ls, Balance Sheets and general finances.
-
You need to grow your business's capacity but don't know where to start.
-
You spend too much time 'in' your business to spend important time working 'on' your business.
Imagine a future where you can increase your profits without working longer hours.
This is what real, sustainable, growth looks like.
Running this kind of business requires different skills; we’ll build these together.
-
Increase your platform of knowledge and skills for growing your business.
-
Improve your confidence as a business owner.
-
Clarify your business’s direction.
-
Identify why every area of business is important.

About the Programme
The Business of Business® Accelerator Programme is an educational programme delivered live on Zoom, supported by online resources, over 12 weeks.
It enables entrepreneurs who love what they do, but don’t necessarily feel confident about every aspect of running a business, to acquire vital foundational level business and commercial knowledge and skills, and learn how to apply them within their business, so that they are far more likely to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Additionally, through an online community, they can continue to share their learnings with each other as they engage in discussions with their peers and colleagues.

"The Business of Business Programme® was amazing and the content was great. I thought the order of the modules worked well, and I liked how the Q&As broadened out into useful discussions. The Programme gave me the confidence to understand what my business is, how to structure it and how to be more goal-driven. To know that you need to start with Vision and go from there. I learned a lot about the basics of running a business, and it was an eye opener to understand that everyone involved with your business is part of your team."

"I would definitely recommend The Business of Business® Learning &
Development Programme to other entrepreneurs. The workshops with Alan were really valuable and I’m incredibly grateful for access to his knowledge. He creates a lovely atmosphere and is very nurturing and helpful. What I also like about him is that he’s straight talking with his advice and tells it like it is, which is refreshing. Alan gave us fundamental knowledge about how to actually run a business, with a lot of concrete information I will be able to put into practice. It’s helped me to focus more and to delegate more. I think it’s going to be really beneficial because it’s made me constantly challenge myself and question my actions."
