If only business owners asked for help before it was too late…
Hi! I’m Phil Bedford.
You may recognize my name…
I’m the business coach start-up founders come to when they need help with growing their business.
For over 21 years, I've coached and worked with over 1000 business owners on five continents.
I’ve seen them celebrate massive victories and endure heart-breaking failures.
While the successes brought me joy….
The failures got me thinking.
How could entrepreneurs with brilliant ideas, solid credentials, and a track record of corporate success…
Crash and burn?
I wasn’t prepared for what I found.

Videos
Two decades of working with founders have given me a ringside view of what makes a business successful and what can cause it to fail.
I’ve packaged these learnings into a set of videos and exercises you can study at your own pace.
No fluff. Just hands-on strategies you can use to hit the ground running with an action plan designed to suit your business.
Learn, implement, tweak and repeat.

Community Support
If you’re thinking …”Oh no, Phil. Not another community”, let me reassure you that this isn’t one of ‘those’ communities headed by a faceless Guru who randomly pops in and out - and whose members keep themselves busy with random comments and likes.
This is a thriving, high-energy space where business owners like you seek to grow their business without the accompanying stress and frustration.
Find out what’s working for them, what doesn’t, and what they are doing about it. Jump in, ask for assistance and offer help if you sense an opportunity.

Monthly Office hours (with Q&A)
It's best you attend these ‘live’. Every session is packed with ‘Aha’ moments as members reveal how they overcame challenges they previously found insurmountable.
Ask your most pressing questions and get immediate help from me and from others who’ve previously faced that problem.
