Testimonials

Lynsey - Gloucestershire Mindfulness & Counselling

Since working with Dan I have taken charge of my business and have now paid myself a wage for the first time. Having money in the bank as a self employed person has meant that money stresses have drastically eased.

Dan is always there for me when I need him. Having someone to be accountable to is just brilliant.

Dan is supportive, patient and kind. His business knowledge is great and his positivity infectious. You can't help but be inspired to do more.

Lucie - Hapi Yaki & Hapi Health

‘After recently setting up my solo project in event catering, I knew Dan’s mentoring services would be invaluable due to his experience and commitment to creating a clear and concise plan to bring out the best in me, and my business. Week by week we have strategically worked through each stage of the business and used simple but effective processes to really understand the ins and outs of running a successful, growing start up’

Leah - Cleanology/The Art of Order

Dan has worked with me to improve specific aspects of my own performance and has provide one-to-one support and motivation, as well as accountability, to help me work towards my future business goals, and build upon my business.

Running a business can often feel like a very solitary pursuit. Having Dan as an experienced mentor that I can rely on has proved invaluable to me!

Kirsty - CFI Awarding
Jamie - Cotswold Wood Crafts

Dan has helped me grow my business by thinking outside the box for how to reach more customers, grow my brand and help me understand what to change in the everyday running to maximise my efficiency and where to invest or outsource.

 The social media campaigns have been incredible! 

Also to have someone who backs what you are doing and believes in it as much as you do is a massive positive! 100% would recommend to anyone thank you Dan!

Mark - Reactive Security and Training

Dan goes above and beyond. I was able to contact him with an urgent business issue this Sunday and he responded straight away, helping me put together a tender for a job.

My business has grown this year and a big part of that is down to Dan. This is not just from his advice but also by using his massive list of contacts

Dan has given me focus and helped simplify the way I work. This is essential as Dan is aware that I have ADHD and works with me in a way that suits my learning style.

Livia - Liv Pix

Working with Dan has been the first step to organising and planning the future of my business. He’s been very supportive and brought such a great energy to our meetings. He has incredible knowledge and experience.

He helped me find the weaknesses, enlightenment to my strengths and from there helped me establish a path forward.
Now I just need to stay focused and continue along the path.

Highly recommend Dan!

Vicky - The Bespoke Life

We'd had a really bad experience with a business coach before who promised the world and delivered nothing. Dan has delivered on his promise of a problem solving approach and the business has driven forward.

It's great to have someone to be accountable to. Dan sets me tasks which are specific, achievable and have a positive outcome. He also recognises that running a business is hard and that sometimes we have to reschedule at the last minute.

My business has grown since starting with Dan. He has simplified how we market ourselves and as a result this is the most stress free I have felt since we started.

Trace - Dixie Dot Crafts

I recently had a 'Power Hour' with Dan. Having followed Dan on Social Media for a little while I knew he was someone I needed to speak to about my business. He helped me organise my jumbled head, get clarity on where I am going and what I am doing. It helps that he has real-life, hands-on experience of business so was able to draw on that to help me. I have come away feeling super motivated and positive about what needs to be done so I can achieve the goal I've set for myself and for my business. Thanks Dan!

Dan puts thing everything in perspective. It's great to have someone who I can be accountable to and bounce ideas off. He then comes back with additional ideas and suggestions which help me make informed decisions regarding my businesses.

Dan has helped me compartmentalise my businesses ensuring nothing is too daunting or overwhelming. He has supported me in making difficult business decisions all of which benefited my company. Often these have needed a quick reaction time and Dan is always extremely responsive.

Kayleigh - KH Web Design

I have been working with Dan for only a small amount of time but so far I have found him just so helpful and from him being there by my side I have already generated some dreamy leads for my business, as well as grown in confidence to just 'do' what I set out to do.

And let's just mention how lovely he is, always so happy to help and checking in with me too! Really loving working with Dan so far!

Gemma - Burford Creative

It has been great to work with Dan over the last six months - he has held me accountable, made me question my thinking and helped me set clear, actionable goals.

Deborah - Kome Care

Working with Dan has been a game changer for my company. He helped put all the noise in my head into clear actionable steps that have started showing results. I think the greatest thing is he doesn’t just tell you what to do he goes out and dose it with you. Thanks Dan

Andrea - Creative Wellbeing Circle

Dan makes business feel fun, authentic, and real. Dan has been incredibly kind, supportive, and so knowledgeable in helping me move my new business forwards.

It has been great working with Dan, who has given me a strong sense of focus to help me grow my business. Using a collaborative and thorough approach, he has helped me break down my goals into clear actionable steps.

Angela - Cotswold networking

Dan has been a supportive mentor and trusted advisor. His wealth of experience means he really understands everyday business challenges and gives practical, relatable advice. Highly recommend.

Chris - Cowork & Country

I’ve been working with Dan following a strong recommendation and he’s been brilliant to have in the mix.

He’s one of those rare people who can move effortlessly between big-picture strategy and practical problem-solving. A great sounding board who cuts through the noise fast, from filtering my wilder ideas to bringing sharp perspective when decisions really matter. No heavy meetings, no fluff, just straight-up solutions and a calm, clear way of thinking things through.

Beyond all that, Dan’s just a genuinely good human being, easy to trust, grounded, and the kind of person who actually listens before offering an opinion. He’s super sharp and quietly raises the bar in everything you’re doing.

Grateful to have crossed paths, definitely someone you want in your corner when you’re building or scaling something that matters.

Fliss

It wasn't difficult to sign up with Dan after a brilliant meeting discussing the business and opportunities I wanted to create but didn't know where to start! His enthusiasm and drive combined with a kind, supportive approach was exactly what I was looking for. Within 6 weeks I had created the framework of my business sharing lived experience in healthcare, education and workplaces - with Dan, in that time, taking me through every step from legalities, formalities to branding, sales and marketing, getting me to a place ready to start selling. The investment into Dan's coaching has genuinely been life changing.

He empowers and enables you to work to a level where you are thriving and enjoying the journey as opposed to feeling negative stress or pressure. He goes the extra mile because he genuinely cares about you, your business and your goals.

A fantastic person to meet and work with. 5* and beyond.

Becky - The Body Lab

I joined Dan’s Fearless and Focused programme at the beginning of January and have found the sessions hugely beneficial. Dan provides sensible, pragmatic advice and takes the time to look in depth at your business, offering clear recommendations to improve both sales and efficiency.

He gives practical guidance on marketing and sales, while also providing valuable insight, motivation, and accountability. Everything is explained in a straightforward, easy-to-apply way, which makes a real difference when you’re running a business.

Although I’ve only been in the programme for a month, I’ve already seen the value and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking to gain clarity, structure, and momentum in their business.

Beth - HHH Mortgages

Being newly self-employed in 2025 was a massive learning curve for me; I had gone from the structure and safety of being employed for 20 years to the freedom of setting my own work schedule, making my own decisions...

All exciting stuff but I felt I needed guidance and support - and Dan has helped me with this!

Dan has a lovely, positive nature but is also realistic, grounded and understanding. He is motivating and matter-of-fact in equal measure and has already helped make a difference within my business and how I approach things.

The Fearless & Focused programme breaks down each area of my business to help me improve each area of my business, leading to a higher conversion rate, better client outcome and higher level of self-confidence.

Thank you, Dan!
