A quiet truth about you and your business
Founding a business built on your knowledge, expertise and care takes heart.
But when you're juggling client delivery with content plans, tech, strategy and just getting paid it's easy to lose connection with the business you set out to create.
And right now, with the world feeling uncertain in so many ways, that disconnect can feel even more pronounced. If you are:
-
Drowning in too many small decisions, with not enough space for the deep work that you and your business crave
-
Uncertain around what ops and admin tools your business actually needs (versus what everyone says it should have)
-
Losing your spark while your business feels increasingly demanding
-
Full of ideas but your business's operational needs distract you when you try bringing them to life
Then I can help.
The Methodology
Your business is a living, breathing thing with its own needs and rhythms. When your relationship with it gets choppy everything feels harder than it should. Here's what you need to get things back on track...
A Thinking Partnership
Most founders have plenty of advice-givers but few true thinking partners who understand that you're navigating a complex relationship with your business. I help with:
-
really hearing what your business is actually telling you through its patterns and pain points
-
uncovering where your business needs are pulling in a different direction to yours and gently realigning the pair of you
-
checking in on the 'obvious' questions we often forget to ask. 'Do I need this', 'Do I want this', 'Is the money that I need coming in'.
What this means for you: Strategy and ops solutions tailored to you, your business and your unique relationship
Environmental Design
It's hard to feel at ease in a relationship if the environment you connect within is pulling against you. Together, we craft:
-
Sustainable working routines and tech tools that match who you are, not who the latest productivity guru says you should be.
-
Procesesses aligned to your values and your business brand so you can make and delegate day to day decisions more easily
-
Physical and digital spaces that support easy connection and ensure that everything you need to do your job is on hand
What this means for you : A working environment that's a joy to create and deliver within
Relational Foundations
Beneath the metrics and strategies, your type of business craves relationships. We will strenthen these with:
-
Onboarding and offboarding that creates touchpoints that are clear, helpful and feel right for clients and contractors alike.
-
Client comms that reflect who your business is making it easier for you (and others) to speak on its behalf
-
Community connections and content that draw the people who want your business relationship to fly closer to you
What this means for you: A business that strengthens rather than strains the many important relationships in your work and life
THE POWER OF 6
Deciding to work with me is just that: another decision. And while something here is resonating, it's still hard to press that 'buy now' button. That's why I keep things low risk and simple.
We start with a no obligation, no sales 1 hour complimentary call. We might solve whatever's on your mind right there, or we might decide to work together longer term. Cue the Power of 6. Blocks of 6 hours at a cadence that works for you, renewable if you like, stoppable when the work's done.
Why 6? It's the sweet spot for real momentum—enough time to go beyond surface fixes, not so long you're locked into something that might not fit.

The bridge that you need
Coaches and supervisors are brilliant at mindset but sometimes you need a thinking partner who can help get stuff done. I offer a space to think, and bring the operational expertise to help turn ideas into action.
Virtual Assistants are great at following direction but sometimes you don’t know what direction to give. I help you figure out what matters before you waste time and money on doing things that don't.
You don’t need a full-time COO. You need 'just right support': someone who gets what you do, why you do it and who's on hand when you need them.
Clarity. Calm. Confidence in your next steps
Hey, I'm Abby. It's great to meet you
I created The Business Navigator for founders who are deeply committed to what they do, but who are feeling increasingly disconnected from the business they set out to create.
Maybe you’ve got more ideas than time. Maybe the back end of your business has become overwhelming. Maybe you are finding it hard to navigate through the global fog that seems to hang heavier than it once did. This is all where I can come in.
My practical approach combines consultancy and relationship-building with efficient operations, creating space for both action and deep thinking.
Together, we can launch new programmes, check in on the finances, tackle the sticking points in your sales funnel, stop the content creation machine consuming you, deal with tricky clients or just check in and chat to unstick that thing that's been on your mind for months. All in simple, stackable blocks of 6 hours of my time.
Southampton UK, my home for my working life, has very much shaped who I am and how I work.
Southampton has the industrial heritage of hard work and getting stuff done alongside the contemplative environment and space to breathe and think provided by the water and green spaces. As a metaphor for a good life, it's a place that's hard to beat.
Southampton is also a city that gets serious work done without taking itself too seriously - I've been told there's some paralells there too.
My clients like how I can give a big picture perspective while keeping an eye on the detail. I don’t just keep things moving, I help you and your business move together with understanding and intention.
Sounds good? Give me a call or drop me an email.
