Get Unstuck: A Growth Accelerator for Small Business Owners

Running a small business can feel like a never-ending list of jobs.

You’re selling, delivering, chasing invoices, dealing with customers, managing people — and probably doing plenty of things you never expected to be doing when you started the business.

And somewhere in all of that, growing the business can get pushed to the bottom of the list.

This Growth Accelerator Board is brought to you by The Alternative Board. It is designed for micro and small business owners who want to get out of the day-to-day, think differently, and make real progress.

It’s a small, facilitated session where you’ll sit alongside other business owners, share ideas, tackle real challenges, and find practical ways to move your business forward.

You don't need to have all the answers.

Other business owners can often see things differently because they aren't caught up in your business every day. They may have faced the same challenges you’re facing — or have an idea you haven't considered.

You could be struggling to:

• Win more customers and increase sales
• Work out what you should focus on next
• Find time to work on the business rather than constantly in it
• Improve your pricing, cash flow or profitability
• Build a team and start delegating
• Turn an idea into a proper growth plan
• Make a difficult business decision
• Simply work out “what do I do next?”

Bring one of those challenges with you.

You’ll have the opportunity to talk it through with other business owners, get different perspectives and identify practical actions you can take.

One of the biggest problems with business advice is what happens after the meeting.

You leave full of ideas — and then Monday morning arrives and the day-to-day takes over again.

That’s why the Growth Accelerator includes a 60-minute one-to-one executive coaching session following the Board.

Together, you’ll turn the ideas from the session into a clear set of priorities and actions for your business.

And, importantly, you’ll have someone holding you accountable for doing them.

Clarity – step away from the day-to-day and look at your business differently.

Collaboration – learn from other business owners who understand the reality of running a small business.

Ideas – get perspectives you simply can't get when you're working on your own.

A plan – decide what you need to do next.

Accountability – use your 60-minute coaching session to turn good intentions into action.

This is for micro and small business owners in and around Leeds who are serious about growing their business but sometimes feel stuck in the day-to-day.

You don't need to be an experienced business owner.

You don't need a big team.

You don't need all the answers.

You simply need a business, a willingness to share, and a desire to make it better.

It's a practical opportunity to step away from the business, work through a real challenge with other owners, identify opportunities for growth — and then have dedicated coaching to make sure you actually do something about it.

Bring a challenge. Share your experience. Get new ideas. Leave with a plan.
