🌟 October Guest Expert: Frankie Grit – Stop Thinking. Start Doing!!

Feel like you’re winging it in business and just hoping for the best?
It’s time to stop overthinking and start actually doing what moves the needle.

In this no-fluff, action-packed session, business coach Steve Lees, aka Frankie Grit will walk you through exactly what successful business owners do (consistently!) to double their profits—and how you can start doing it too.

This isn’t theory. This is real-world, tried-and-tested, get-out-of-your-own-way stuff that works.

✨ In this session, you’ll get:
✅ A simple blueprint to go from overwhelmed to in controlsimple blueprint to go from overwhelmed to in-control
✅ The exact actions high-performing business owners do every week
✅ A hard copy of Frankie’s ‘Get Shit Done’ Club booklet, including a Business Owner Audit
✅ A BONUS 30-minute 1:1 review with Frankie if you complete your audit

💛 Why it matters:
Too many brilliant solo business owners are stuck in their heads, trying to perfect everything instead of taking imperfect action. Frankie’s here to change that, fast.

👑 Meet Your Guest Expert – Frankie Grit
Frankie knows what it feels like to watch a business collapse—and take the blame for it. He was that guy. But he also knows what it takes to rise again. After losing one business during the energy crisis, he built a thriving coaching firm from scratch.

Today, he lives in a rambling farmhouse in southern Scotland with Mrs Grit (long-suffering, still fabulous) and five rescued Turkish dogs who call the shots.
He brings grit, humour, and a serious kick up the backside when you need it most.

No fluff. No jargon. No excuses. Just the real stuff that gets real results.

🧠 Perfect for solo business owners who need structure, support, and serious momentum—without the waffle.

Business networking for small business owners

It can be lonely running a small business so let’s take you away from your desk so you can meet some like-minded business owners to grow your connections.

You need resilience as a business owner, there are so many spinning plates to manage; time, money, resources, and of course finding customers.

Our community is here to listen, help and support.

About your host

From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges.

Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network?

Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and has opened up many opportunities.

I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
