Got questions about fixing your business?

Here are the answers to the challenges we hear most from ambitious business owners and leadership teams and how we help you get clarity, control, and results.

Common business problems we solve.

  • A: Yes. We always start with strategy because there is no point in taking action without direction. Our Strategy Days give you clarity, structure, and focus so you can take control, prioritise what matters, and scale without the chaos.

  • A: Team issues are often a sign of unclear direction, undefined roles, or leadership habits that hold people back. We work with you to realign your team, clarify roles, and build an energetic culture of ownership and accountability.

  • A: You don’t have to do it all yourself. We’ll help you create the systems, structure, and clarity your business needs to run more efficiently. You’ll be able to focus on the things that truly matter, delegate with confidence, and drive your business forward.

  • A: Yes, and it’s fixable. As your business grows, your role needs to evolve. We’ll help you build confidence, space, and decision-making clarity, so you can lead without second-guessing yourself at every turn.

  • A: Marketing without a clear business strategy wastes time and money. We’ll make sure your sales and marketing actions align with your wider business goals, so your efforts actually drive growth instead of just creating noise.

How we work.

  • A: Not exactly. Business coaching is often about asking questions to help you find your own answers. While we do coach when it’s useful, we also consult and mentor — meaning we bring expert advice, proven strategies, and hands-on support. You get the benefit of both guidance and practical solutions.

  • A: A strategic consultant helps you set the right direction for your business and creates a plan to get there. At The Pocket Strategist, we go further — we work with you in person to make the big decisions, then help you put them into action so change actually happens.

  • A: That’s up to you. A Strategy Day is perfect for a reset and a clear plan. If you want ongoing help to make sure the plan actually happens, we offer longer-term packages that give you structured check-ins, flexible support hours, and access to our expertise whenever you need it.

  • A: Not at all. That’s exactly when you should bring us in. You’re too close to see the full picture. We give you the clarity to pinpoint the real issues, the structure to fix them, and the confidence to move forward.

  • A: A tailored, actionable plan specific to your business. You’ll get clarity, direction, and a roadmap you can actually deliver — designed with you, for you — from experts who know what works in the real world. The result? A stronger business you can run with confidence, without burning yourself out.

Before you book.

  • A: We run them in distraction-free venues across the UK, most often in the South West, London, and the Midlands. We can also arrange a location that works best for you.

  • A: No. We only deliver in person. One of the most powerful parts of a Strategy Day is stepping away from your usual environment, free from the distractions and interruptions of day-to-day work. The change of setting is a key reason the results are so impactful.

  • A: For business owners, most sessions are one-to-one or with a co-founder. For leadership teams, we usually work with up to 20 people so everyone has space to contribute.

  • A: No. We choose off-site venues so you are fully away from day-to-day demands. This gives you the headspace to think more clearly and make better decisions.

  • A: A one-off Strategy Day for business owners starts at £1500 and Senior Leadership Teams from £2000.

    Ongoing support packages start from £995 depending on the level of involvement. We will always be upfront about costs before you commit, and payment plans are available.

  • A: Yes. We work with sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies. What matters is not your business structure but whether you are ready to get clear on your direction, improve how you run the business, and take action to grow.

  • A: You will leave with a clear, actionable plan and the option to keep working together for hands-on support. Many clients choose quarterly days or a tailored partnership to keep momentum going.

  • A: Absolutely, all of our clients are service-based SMEs. If you’re overwhelmed but growth-minded and ready to run a business that works (not just one that looks good), we’re likely a good fit.

What makes us different.

  • A: We take a whole-business view, looking at every area — direction, team, operations, financials, product, marketing, and sales — so we fix the real problems, not just a part of them.

  • A: Because the results are far better when you step out of your normal environment. Being away from the day-to-day distractions gives you the space to think clearly, make decisions, and focus on the changes that will move your business forward.

  • A: Both. We bring proven recommendations based on hundreds of businesses like yours, and we also work with you to shape a plan you believe in. The best plan is one you will actually follow.

  • A: No. Everything we do is tailored to you and your business. We bring proven methods, but every plan is built around your goals, your challenges, and the way you work.

  • A: No. We stay involved for as long as you need us, helping you put the plan into action and making sure changes stick. Many clients work with us long-term for continued clarity, accountability, and results.
