The truth about why you feel stuck
You’ve been trying to figure it out on your own – tweaking your website, overthinking offers, researching new strategies, asking ChatGPT – but nothing’s really moving forward.
You’ve tried working harder, but all that’s left you with is late nights, burnout, or the same business problems on repeat.
It’s not that you’re not cut out for this.
It’s not that your idea is broken.
Most small business problems aren’t solved by more hustle or another free download. They come from exhaustion, overwhelm, and putting off the big decisions that feel too heavy to face alone.
After 13+ years in corporate retail and a decade mentoring over 100 small business owners, I’ve seen the same pattern hundreds of times:
→ The issue isn’t effort. It’s direction.
→ What you need isn’t more information. It’s a clear plan — and support to follow through.
That’s where I come in.
I booked a clarity sprint with Sam, after recently starting my business, and trying to balance priorities I was feeling out of my depth and wanted experienced input on how best to progress. Sam provided exactly that! She was so kind, had a clear vision and agenda for the call, and provided really great ideas that I could action immediately. It's clear to see how much Sam cares, and how much effort she put in before and after the call. Our session has left me feeling so excited and less overwhelmed for the next steps. Couldn't recommend enough, I hope to work with Sam again.

What People Actually Say
The Uncomfortable Truth
Most small business owners don’t fail because they lack ideas, passion, or talent.
They get stuck because they’re pulled in too many directions – working harder and harder, with little to show for it.
You don’t need another course, another template, or another plan gathering dust.
You need someone who can spot the real problem, cut through the noise, and hold you accountable to the actions that actually move your business forward.
That’s what I do.
Hi, I’m Sam
13 years in corporate retail. (Senior roles at Swarovski, Alexon Group and Arcadia).
10+ years mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs across multiple sectors. Featured as a business expert on BBC Breakfast and Channel 5 News.
Here’s what most people don’t know:
Many of my clients stay with me for years.
They come back when they’re ready for their next breakthrough, or when they hit a new challenge they can’t solve alone.
Some check in annually. Others disappear for two years, then return when it’s time to scale. That’s not typical in mentoring or coaching – but it happens when you actually solve problems instead of just talking about them.
I don’t do fluffy coaching. You can’t research your way out of a hole.
My job is to spot what’s really keeping you stuck – and give you the tools to fix it.
Sometimes that’s mindset. Sometimes it’s pricing, offers, or execution. Usually it’s both.
