Hi, I’m Fran, a business mentor and networking host based in Shropshire.
I work with small business owners who feel like they are constantly busy, but not actually moving forward. The ones juggling everything, spinning plates and wondering why it still feels hard.
Alongside my mentoring, I co-run a local business alongside my husband, so everything I share comes from real life experience, not theory. I know what it is like to build something, manage the pressure and figure things out as you go.
My mentoring is relaxed, honest and practical. No fluff, no pressure, just real conversations that help you get clear on what you are doing, where you are going and what needs to happen next.
I also run Bathing in Business, a laid back networking community in Shropshire where people can show up as themselves, have proper conversations and build genuine connections without the pressure to pitch or perform.
Everything I do comes back to the same thing. Helping people feel supported, less alone and more in control of their business.
Stop trying to do everything at once.
Most people I speak to are overwhelmed because they have too many ideas and no clear focus. Pick one thing, give it your attention and see it through.
Also, do not underestimate the power of getting in a room with other business owners. Some of the best opportunities come from conversations, not content.
And finally, give yourself more credit. You are probably doing better than you think.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just need someone to talk things through with, my Clarity Conversations are a really good place to start.
It is a 60 minute one to one session where we unpack where you are now, what is going on in your business and what your next steps could look like.
From there, you can either take that plan and run with it, or we can continue working together through my mentoring packages for ongoing support and accountability.
Everything is designed to be flexible, supportive and built around you.
