I'm Nigel Rawlins, PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT

I help professional women shift to self-employment to do work they love, find customers and get paid

You've already done a lot of things in your life.
And when you've spent a few years in the work-force there's less time for learning the ins-and-outs of starting a business.
To become who you would like to be.
Then I help you make it happen in your own business.

Satisfied Clients

"Nigel has been an enormous help to me in setting up my business. He is across so many aspects of running a small business, but especially the marketing. He is very knowledgeable and thoughtful in recommending strategies to build a client base and gain momentum. This includes advising on what's worth spending money on, and what isn't. And he's very personable. Highly recommended."

Gail Greatorex

Product Safety Specialist

"Nigel brings clarity, empathy, a deep understanding of business and very constructive support. He puts a great deal of work into his sessions and offers very generously of his reading and research. He gave me hints and leads that would have taken me hours to find. I will be going back to him as I reach various key milestones in the development of the concept. I think he can add value to anyone who wants to move on or change pathways in their career."
