MAKE CONCRETE PROGRESS ON YOUR BUSINESS EVERY MONTH
Running your own small business is lonely. How many times have you wished you had a team of people working alongside you to talk to, ask for help, or hold you accountable?
Or loved for someone to show you exactly what you need to do to price your products, work out a marketing strategy or write your website?
We've felt every frustration you're experiencing. And we've spoken to hundreds of other entrepreneurs who feel the same way.
That's why we created TLC Team - a monthly programme that guides you through different areas of your business, ensuring that you DO something every month, and make satisfying, concrete progress.
WHO'S YOUR TEACHER?
Heading up the TLC Team is Hannah Martin, the founder of Talented Ladies Club. With over a decade of experience in running profitable businesses, and a clutch of advertising awards to her name, Hannah has a wealth of expertise to share.
Hannah is also a popular trainer for companies like Mumsnet and Country Living, a business mentor for Natwest's Entrepreneur Accelerator, a campaigner for equality for women in the workplace and in business, and an experienced business coach.
