I wanted to work with a coach who went beyond traditional mindset coaching; a coach who really understood how to build and run a business like mine.

I had my highest grossing revenue month ever in my first year in Momentum – and a 10% growth in sales across the year which took me across the VAT threshold. I am forecasting a further 30% growth this year. But the crucial measure for a sustainable business is profit. Profit has increased tenfold. I also now attract more of my ideal client and more of the work
I want to do.

In short, I am now confident that I can run a successful, impactful and profitable business without facing burnout. My clients are changing the world and I am helping them to show how they are doing this. It is spine-tingling stuff.

It’s like having a non-Exec Director in your business

At every meeting, I am impressed with how well the coaching team get inside the skin of my business. Not only do they offer their expertise generously and without ego, they do it in a way which both challenges and supports. Their ability to hone in on what is needed NOW in my business, and how they help me find ways to prioritise that through all my busyness, is so helpful.

For the first time in years I feel I am truly working on my business and not just in it.

I love the principal of discipline and frequency of our calls, and being self driven through the process at the same time as being supported not just by the Momentum coaching team, but by the other members too. If you are serious about making your business work better for you, you need a process, but that doesn’t have to be spreadsheets and hard work. Momentum makes it enjoyable, especially knowing you’re going to get supported, guided, and held.

What I valued most was the structure and definition, and the process to work through; slowing down in order to have a set time to focus on the important things has been instrumental to my success.

I have taken some clear and definite actions on projects I was only thinking about before, but what I valued most about being part of Momentum was the structure and definition it gave me and the process to work through. Typically, I get easily distracted. I commit to a lot of things and can spread myself too thin. The Momentum structure of slowing down in order to have a set time to focus on the important things has really helped me.

Momentum is powerful and offers you access to other great business minds and structures. And the biggest success I got was working on building a team and to share my vision for the company with them, because now I feel I have stepped into the role of the CEO. With the help of Karen’s advice and steerage, I was able to work through a strategy that really pulled us together at a team, which allowed me to stretch and ultimately win a contract that doubled our business revenue overnight.

This has been a business catalyst for speeding up my growth. Being stretched and challenged has been incredible.

My confidence has come through and I now appreciate that things take a bit longer, especially when working within the corporate marketplace, but the simplicity of the Grow Strong™ planning process meant that I could complete the milestones, and once each was done I could move on to the next one. This gave me clarity of mind to where I was heading and not feel I was juggling a million things.

I can honestly say that the last eighteen months I have grown the most I have ever grown in my career. The work I have done with Karen and her team has been instrumental in this. The stretch and support from someone saying “you really can do this” is incredible. The Momentum process has been a business catalyst for speeding up my growth. Being stretched and challenged, and learning from Karen’s experience has been incredible.

I’ve been given a reason to be accountable. And the tools to learn more about your business and the opportunity to get alternative and external views; that’s invaluable.

Joining Momentum helped me to dig deep into the commercial aspects of my business, unpicking my expenditure and articulating the true value I was offering. I already had the knowledge and expertise for my clients. What I lacked was the confidence to own my ‘expert status’, articulate the value of my programme and, ultimately, increase the ticket price. Gut reaction in a business can only take you so far. I knew that that I had got to the point where gut reaction was not enough and I needed something more to move forward.

Being part of Momentum has opened my eyes to my own value and given me the confidence to step into my worth. Most importantly, I have remained true to myself, my vision and my values.  And this meant I am now more comfortable in owning the ‘expert’ label; it’s no coincidence that since joining Momentum I have been asked to work alongside some influential leaders in this field – and I hold my own.

I’ve been given a broader mindset and got under the skin of why I wasn’t doing some of the bigger things I knew I was professionally capable of.

It’s been fantastic to have the Grow Strong™ planning process to work towards because it keeps you on track and makes you do that critical pre-planning thinking. It’s easy, when you work on your own, to roll from one week to the next without actually being disciplined or even looking back at what you have achieved and have done. So having Momentum give us the process on how how to plan effectively, and then support us in the implementation of it has been brilliant. The coaching team give a good balance of feeling pushed but still having that supportive hand on your back.
