YOUR BUSINESS YODA

Because it shouldn't all be on you.

Monthly support for business owners and leaders who are carrying everything on their own and are ready for someone in their corner.

Just like Dawn, whose turnover grew 60% in a year, and Jane, who found the confidence to take the leap and build a business she's proud of.

Michelle Reade, business coach and Your Business Yoda

Who's in your corner?

You've got a business to run, people to look after and a million things going on in your head.

You're the person everyone else turns to. You solve the problems, support your team, look after your customers and keep everything moving.

But who's there when you need to talk something through, make a big decision, have a difficult conversation or work out what the hell to do next?

That's where Your Business Yoda comes in.

I'm your sounding board, your thinking partner and the person who helps you cut through the noise, see things differently and turn ideas into action.

No judgement. No jargon. No pretending you've got it all figured out. Just honest conversations and someone in your corner who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

Your Business Yoda owl: Going round in circles, you are. Help, I can.

Imagine this…

It's Friday afternoon. The decision you've been sitting on for weeks is made. The conversation you were dreading is done, and it went better than you thought. You know exactly what you're focusing on next week.

And this weekend, you actually switch off.

Then imagine what that could make possible beyond your business. Time with your family without your phone in your hand. The holiday you keep putting off. Feeling proud of what you're building, instead of buried by it.

Would you love to…

  • Finish the week feeling proud, not knackered
  • Stop going round in circles and make the decision
  • Have the conversation you've been avoiding
  • Make more money without working more hours
  • Know exactly what to focus on next, and actually do it
  • Take a proper day off, and switch off without the guilt

This is for you if…

You're a business owner or leader who cares deeply about what you do but carries far too much on your own. Maybe you're:

  • Overthinking a decision you already know you need to make
  • Putting off a conversation that's been hanging over you for weeks
  • Busy all day but wondering why the important things aren't moving
  • Full of ideas but not sure which ones deserve your time
  • Ready to grow and make more money, without working every hour going
  • Giving everyone else your time and energy, with very little left for you

You don't need another course, another notebook or another 47-step strategy.

Sometimes you just need the right conversation.

How it works

1

One 45-minute coaching call each month

Early morning or evening, before or after your working day, so you can think without the phone ringing.

2

Me in your back pocket on WhatsApp

Business doesn't wait for your next appointment. Send a voice note or message when the tricky stuff lands, and I'll reply within 48 hours on weekdays.

3

Clear actions, every time

You leave every call knowing what you're doing, why it matters and what comes next.

4

All about YOUR business

Every business is different, so we work on what will make the biggest difference to yours.

What clients say

DAWN

Turnover up 60% in a year

Dawn runs a care-sector business. When we started, she was stalling, avoiding the big decisions and still doing the hands-on work herself instead of leading. We focused on her first, then built a plan across strategy, marketing, people and finances.

Within a year: turnover up 60%, new premises, a manager leading the team, and Dawn running the meetings as the leader. She works normal hours now, and she's had a holiday.

JANE CAROLAN

From overwhelmed to her first CQC inspection

"Starting my own business felt overwhelming, and I wasn't sure whether I had what it took. Michelle gave me the confidence, support and encouragement to take the leap and keep moving forward, even when things felt challenging. She genuinely cares about the people she works with and is as committed to your success as you are. I always knew she had my back. We're now going through our very first CQC inspection, and I couldn't be prouder of how far we've come."

Managing Director, GoodOaks Homecare Cheshire

AMY COLLINS

The right question at the right moment

"Michelle has a way of asking exactly the right question at exactly the right moment."

Award Winning Team Manager, Slimming World

Different businesses, same story. Brilliant people carrying far too much on their own. Whatever you sell, the support is the same.

ABOUT MICHELLE

I've sat in every seat.

I've spent 26 years in business and leadership, including 17 years in franchising, and I've supported over 1,000 business owners to grow businesses they're proud of.

I built my first business on an army base in Germany, rebuilt it with every posting, then went on to build and run three successful franchises in Wales from scratch. At Slimming World, I supported more than 850 business owners and over 50 leaders.

I'm a UK StartUp Awards Finalist 2026, a board director of the Bournemouth Chamber of Trade and Commerce, and the founder of The Connection.

I know what it's like to build something from nothing, and what it's like to run on empty. I don't stay at 30,000 feet. I get into the detail with you: the numbers, the difficult conversations and the decisions you've been putting off. I'll celebrate your wins, ask the questions you're avoiding and challenge you when you need it.

What could this be worth to you?

Think about what your time is worth, and what staying stuck is already costing you.

If one decision made faster, or one conversation finally had, wins you one extra client, it's paid for itself for the year.

Then add the hours you get back, the problem sorted before it got expensive, and the weekends you actually switch off.

The cost of staying stuck is far greater than the cost of getting support.
