Is your business truly working for you?

Freedom, flexibility, fulfilment—that’s the dream of running your own business, isn’t it? The promise of higher earnings, independence, and doing what you love with people who inspire you.

Yet, somehow, it doesn’t always feel that way, does it? Especially at the beginning. You’re feeling underpaid and wrestling with clients who test your boundaries. You can’t bring yourself to do work on the endless list of things we “have” to do. You’re working whenever you’re awake, and somehow, you’re supposed to master all the “business stuff” as well as being great at your craft. 

Or maybe you’ve reached a “success plateau”—enough work, decent income, but something’s still off. The constant pressure to market yourself is exhausting. Sales calls drain your energy. You’re ready to grow, maybe even hire help, but the risk feels overwhelming. You’ve hit a ceiling, and it’s starting to close in.

This is where I come in. As a business strategist, I believe your business should work for you—not the other way around. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions or expensive cookie-cutter programs. Instead, I work with you to create strategies as unique as your business and goals.

Transform your business by crafting a marketing plan that aligns with your introverted strengths. Streamline your operations by identifying key tasks to automate or outsource, freeing up your energy for what matters most. Consider refreshing your service offerings with a strategic relaunch that better serves your ideal clients while respecting your true self.

About Kirsty

Hiya! I’ve been self-employed for 13 years since the age of 18. I started off with a leaflet distribution business and grew via business networking to cover the South West of England with over 100 distributors before regional flooding meant I lost 95% of my work in a week and had to let my whole team go aged 20.

I pivoted before it became fashionable to have a marketing agency. I also took an opportunity to work in the commercial and life insurance sector as well as being a freelance operations, project and team manager helping other agencies build their strategies for success.

Known for going networking in “drag” and armed with cakes, I’m often working whilst listening to 80s music or documentaries with my cat sleeping next to me. 

My strategic thinking has been essential in managing the complexities of being a young entrepreneur. It’s helped me overcome challenges like endometriosis and anxiety and turn my multi-passionate nature into an advantage.

“Kirsty has supported the evolution of my business, with a brochure website and a music blog site. She has also produced several animated videos that are my best tools for getting engagement with my offers and services. Her biggest contribution has been her advice about my ideas, helping to refine them and suggest strategies that will make my plans effective. I can't recommend Kirsty highly enough always a delight to work with and proactive in offering ideas and suggestions for better ways to do things."

Tim Martin

“I asked online for feedback on my new landing page for my online workshops. Amazing Kirsty took the time and actually recorded me a walk through video! Her points were really insightful and helpful, not just commenting on layout and wording, but also questioning if the messages are right for my audience. Just been through the landing page again and edited it and really chuffed with the improvements. If you're looking for an in depth objective review of your site or landing page, I definitely recommend contacting Kirsty."

Chris Cortopassi

We have run a networking group together, where Kirsty is outstanding for her hard work, creativeness and thoughtfulness. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
