Struggling to spin all the plates? — Increase your business success rate by up to 70%.
60% of UK small businesses fail within five years. Almost always for the same reasons: wrong foundations, no system, no support, no clear plan. The LWD Business Set Up & Mentoring Programme can help with all four.
No obligation. No pressure. A straightforward conversation to assess where you are & where you want to be.
Most businesses fail before they ever really start.
Not because the owner lacked drive or talent, but because nobody showed them the foundations. Here is what The LWD Business Set Up & Mentoring Programme can help you fix.
Starting without clarity — no clear customer, no clear offer, no clear plan.
Pricing too low from day one — & being stuck there for years.
No system for getting clients — relying entirely on word of mouth.
Running out of cash even when the business looks profitable.
Being the bottleneck — everything depends on you personally.
No long-term plan — no retention, no reputation system, no resilience.
Six phases. One clear pathway.
Each phase addresses the specific challenges of that stage of growth. We will work through them with you in order — every session tailored to your business model.

The Facts
This programme works when you work it. It is not a passive income scheme or a shortcut. It is a structured & mentored pathway to success requiring constant action & discipline.
The people who get the most from this programme are not always the most experienced or the most confident. They are the ones who show up, do the work, & ask for help when they need it.
If that sounds like you — this is worth your time & investment.
Straight answers.
If you are considering joining The LWD Business Set Up & Mentoring Programme, these are some of the most common questions people ask before getting started.
Do I need an existing business to join?
No. The programme is designed for anyone from complete beginner to existing business owner wanting to grow faster. Phase 1 starts from absolute scratch.
How long does the full programme take?
The six phases span roughly 3–6 months depending on your pace. Some clients move faster, some slower. The programme is a framework, not a rigid timetable.
What does the mentoring actually look like?
Regular 1-to-1 sessions by phone or video, working through the programme section by section. Between sessions you complete actions & bring results back for review.
What if I get stuck between sessions?
You will be able to fire questions on your Personal WhatsApp Comms Group, to get the support you need, while working through your tailored programme phase by phase.
How is this different from a generic business course?
It is not a course — it is a mentoring programme. The difference is that a course gives you information; a mentor gives you guidance, accountability & answers specific to your situation.
