Running a small business is an exciting adventure—but let’s be honest, it can sometimes feel like you’re juggling flaming torches while riding a bike. If you’re a skilled tradesperson, creative professional, or service provider who’s brilliant at your craft but finds the business side overwhelming, you’re in the right place – or least found the right blog.

At BigohCoaching, based here in London, we work with purpose-driven small business owners just like you. Our goal? To help you stop feeling stuck, get clear on your next steps, and grow your business without burning out.

Here’s a little about how we support business owners on this journey…

1. From Overwhelmed to Organised — John’s Story, The Electrician

John came to me feeling overwhelmed, working long hours but struggling to grow beyond himself. Through simple, focused coaching, he built a team of ‘sparkies’ and learned to manage his team better and attract new clients consistently. Now, John leads a small team, earns more, and—best of all—has time to enjoy life outside work.

Reflect for a moment: Where in your business are you feeling overwhelmed right now? What small change could make a big difference?

2. Creative Chaos to Creative Freedom — Emma’s Journey

Emma, a talented graphic designer, was stuck trying to do everything herself. Together, we mapped out her priorities and introduced time management strategies that gave her back control of her day. Emma now balances client work with marketing and still finds time for her own creativity. Managing her time better has also allowed Emma to manage her priorities as a result of setting realistic targets and objectives.

3. Growing into Leadership — James the Plumber’s Breakthrough

James knew his business needed him to be a leader, but stepping up was scary. We worked on communication and delegation, building his confidence bit by bit. Today, James’s team works smoother.  Having identified the systems and procsess  James knew to be essential for his business, he’s got space to focus on growth.

4. Starting Strong — Sara’s Decorating Business

Sara was excited but unsure how to launch her decorating business. With tailored mentoring, she built a clear plan, set her prices confidently, and began attracting clients. Her business is off the ground and growing steadily.

Are you clear on your next business milestone? What support would help you get there?

5. Standing Out Authentically — Alex’s Branding Transformation

Alex, a freelance web developer, struggled to get noticed. We worked on his personal brand so it truly reflected who he is and the clients he wants. The result? More inquiries, better client matches, and a business that feels authentic to him.
Is your brand telling the story you want? How do you want your ideal client to feel when they meet you?
