how can a brain picking session help your small business

Are you stuck with some techy stuff that's harming your business? How can you get quick & impartial small business help? 

It's easy to feel overwhelmed in your small business as you juggle all the hats to keep your business running. 


Most weeks I come across a fellow small biz owner who is battling with some problem that is usually described as 'techy stuff'. You are NOT ALONE! 


In the last 3 weeks alone I've had a conversation about: 

  • what to do when a 'web guy' is holding your Google My Business profile 'hostage'
  • options for website creation and if quotes received seem reasonable
  • what to do when a 'web guy' has registered your domain under their account
  • how to sort out a Shopify online store with multiple problems
  • a question about emailing past course customers (data privacy GDPR)
  • not knowing how to make any changes to own WordPress website
  • what to blog about (multiple times)
  • the steps needed to write a blog post
  • how to make it easy for local customers to leave a review on Google my Business
  • how to get a 'proper' domain email address organised

And those are just the items that have cropped up in conversation with local small business owners at local networking and get-togethers. 

These convo's dwell on my mind and make me really sad that these barriers are causing such harm and distress. I want you to take control back and get moving again, creating success for yourself.

How To Get The Small Business Help You Desperately Need?

The common threads through all these annoying problems are:

1. where can you get trusted advice and help to resolve the issue

2. it's causing damage to your business

3. OR stopping you from marketing and attracting new business

4. wasting tons of your precious time as you go round in circles trying to fix what you don't understand.


The problems all impact your business FINANCIALLY, and impact you EMOTIONALLY leaving you exhausted, frustrated & overwhelmed.
