Seven Weeks From Now, Your Business Could Be Different – But Only If You Apply Today
Seven weeks from now, your business could feel very different.
You could have greater clarity about where the business is going.
You could have a practical plan for increasing sales, improving profitability and building a business that depends less heavily on you.
You could finally be taking action on the issues you have been thinking about for months—or perhaps even years.
But nothing will change unless you decide to act.
What Could Change in Seven Weeks?
Most established business owners already know that something needs to improve.
The problem is rarely a complete lack of ideas. The real challenge is finding the time, structure and accountability needed to turn those ideas into action.
When you are busy serving customers, managing staff and dealing with everyday problems, it is easy to postpone the important decisions.
Another week passes. Then another month.
The business remains busy, but it does not necessarily become stronger.
The Business Growth Acceleration Programme (BGAP) has been created to help established business owners step back, examine their businesses honestly and concentrate on the changes that could make the greatest difference.
Over seven weekly sessions, we will focus on practical areas including:
- Clarifying the direction of your business
- Identifying what is restricting growth
- Improving sales and marketing
- Strengthening profitability
- Using your time more effectively
- Reducing the business’s dependence on you
- Creating a clear and achievable action plan
This is not a programme built around motivational speeches or unrealistic promises. It is structured, practical business coaching for owners who are prepared to take action.
Is Your Business Too Dependent on You?
Ask yourself one important question:
What would happen if you took two weeks away from your business?
Would it continue to operate effectively?
Would customers still receive the same level of service?
Would sales continue to come in?
Or would everything slow down because too many decisions, relationships and responsibilities depend on you?
A business that relies completely on its owner can become exhausting to run and difficult to grow.
BGAP will help you examine where that dependence exists and identify practical steps towards building a more organised and resilient business.
Free – But Not for Everyone
There is no course fee for this programme, but places will not be offered automatically.
BGAP is intended for owners of established businesses—not people who are simply considering starting a business.
Applicants must be willing to:
- Attend all seven weekly sessions
- Discuss their business honestly within a small, confidential group
- Take practical action between sessions
- Contribute constructively to the programme
- Provide genuine feedback about their experience
The programme is free because I want to bring together a strong group of committed Manchester business owners and demonstrate what can be achieved when the right people receive focused support and accountability.

Where and When Will BGAP Take Place?
The Business Growth Acceleration Programme begins on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at 1:00 pm.
It consists of seven weekly 90-minute sessions held at The Lead Station in Chorlton, Manchester.
Places are deliberately limited so that every participant can discuss their business properly and receive meaningful support.
Seven Weeks Will Pass Whatever You Decide
Seven weeks from now, you could still be thinking about the same problems.
You could still be postponing the same decisions and hoping that more time, more customers or less pressure will somehow provide the answer.
Or you could have a clearer direction, a practical plan and renewed confidence about what to do next.
The seven weeks will pass either way.
The difference is what you choose to do with them.
