The Business Club For Small Business Owners

Lynne Thomas leads The Business Club Members in a rock climbing experience

Practical business support, accountability and community for just £25 a month

Running a small business can feel lonely.

You may be surrounded by customers, contacts, family and friends, but still feel as though every decision rests on your shoulders.

You are responsible for finding the customers.

Making the sales.

Doing the work.

Managing the money.

Planning the marketing.

Solving the problems.

And somehow finding the motivation to keep moving when things are not going to plan.

You may know that you need to take action, but struggle to decide what to focus on.

You may have questions but no one suitable to ask.

Or you may simply want to be part of a community of business owners who understand the highs, lows and occasional madness of running a small business.

That is why I created The Business Club.

The Business Club is an affordable membership for start-ups, sole traders and small business owners who want practical training, regular accountability and a supportive community around them.

For £25 a month, you receive:

  • Monthly business challenges
  • Daily prompts in our private WhatsApp group
  • Monthly masterclasses
  • Weekly live Q&A calls
  • A comprehensive online marketing course
  • A video course on newsletters and automated email campaigns
  • Ongoing help and advice inside the private WhatsApp community
  • Support from me and other experienced members
  • Generous discounts on other training, programmes and events

You do not have to build your business alone.

You do not need to work everything out through trial and error.

And you no longer have an excuse to stay stuck because you did not know who to ask.

Join The Business Club and put practical support in your pocket for just £25 a month.

Results at a glance

A client made 2 sales by following the daily prompts

A health and safety trainer booked a whole course for club members

One of our clients sold out an indoor rock climbing experience to just our club members

Another client made her first £3,000 sale after taking part in a monthly challenge – and that client had been in front of them the whole time, they just hadn’t been looking in the right direction.

You do not need another course gathering virtual dust

There is no shortage of business information available.

You can find books, videos, podcasts, downloads and social media posts on almost every business topic imaginable.

The problem is rarely that you cannot find enough information.

The problem is knowing:

  • Which advice applies to your business
  • What you should focus on first
  • How to put the learning into practice
  • Who to ask when you get stuck
  • How to remain consistent
  • How to keep going when motivation disappears
  • Whether you are making genuine progress

Buying another course will not necessarily solve those problems.

You may watch the first two modules, take plenty of notes and then get pulled back into the day-to-day demands of your business.

The Business Club is different because it combines learning with action, accountability and ongoing support.

You do not simply receive information and get left to figure out the rest.

You have regular opportunities to:

  • Ask questions
  • Work through problems
  • Try new things
  • Share ideas
  • Learn from other business owners
  • Receive encouragement
  • Be held accountable
  • Take practical action

Because information is only useful when you do something with it.

Is The Business Club right for you?

The Business Club may be right for you if:

  • You run your business largely on your own
  • You sometimes feel isolated or unsupported
  • You need affordable, ongoing business support
  • You struggle to remain consistent
  • You have questions but do not know who to ask
  • You want to improve your marketing
  • You need accountability to help you follow through
  • You want to meet other small business owners
  • You enjoy learning but need help putting it into practice
  • You want to try new things without feeling as though you are doing them alone
  • You are not currently ready for one-to-one mentoring
  • You would value regular access to practical business guidance
  • You want support that costs less than many people spend on unused software each month

You do not need to have an established or highly profitable business to join.

You do not need to arrive with everything organised.

You simply need to be willing to participate, ask questions and take action.

Everything included in your Business Club membership

Your £25 monthly membership gives you access to a combination of live support, practical training, accountability and community.

The Club is designed to help you keep learning and moving forward without overwhelming you with more things you “should” be doing.

You can use the elements that are most helpful to you and your business.

Monthly Challenges

Every month, members take part in a practical business challenge designed to nudge them out of their comfort zone and help them try something new.

The challenges are not about creating more work for the sake of it.

Each one is built around actions that can create a measurable outcome in your business.

Challenges may focus on areas such as:

  • Generating leads
  • Following up
  • Making offers
  • Increasing visibility
  • Asking for referrals
  • Reviewing profit
  • Contacting previous customers
  • Improving your pricing
  • Building useful business habits
  • Becoming more confident with sales
  • Thinking and acting more like the CEO

The aim is to help you stop putting important actions off until “one day”.

You will have a clear focus, simple steps and other Club members completing the challenge alongside you.

Because doing something slightly uncomfortable is often where the progress lives.

Daily prompts in the private WhatsApp group

It is easy to start the week with good intentions and then get swallowed by customer work, emails and unexpected problems.

That is why members receive regular prompts in the private WhatsApp group.

These prompts are designed to help you:

  • Think about your business
  • Make better decisions
  • Take small but useful actions
  • Review what is working
  • Follow up on opportunities
  • Stay visible
  • Keep your numbers in mind
  • Maintain momentum

The prompts are practical and manageable.

You will not be asked to completely rebuild your business before breakfast.

They are simply regular nudges to help you work on the business as well as in it.

Even a small action completed consistently can create a meaningful result over time.

 

Weekly live Q&A calls

Every week, you have the opportunity to join a live Q&A call and ask questions about your business.

You can bring questions about:

  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • Pricing
  • Profit
  • Customers
  • Offers
  • Social media
  • Lead generation
  • Follow-up
  • Business planning
  • Confidence
  • Time management
  • Systems and processes
  • Your next priority

You may have a specific problem you need help solving.

You may want feedback on an idea.

You may need a second opinion before making a decision.

Or you may want to listen to the questions being asked by other members.

You can learn an enormous amount from hearing what other business owners are working through.

Often, somebody else asks the question you did not realise you needed answered.

The Q&A calls give you regular access to practical support without needing to book and pay for a separate session every time you get stuck.

Monthly business masterclasses

Each month, members receive a focused masterclass covering an important area of starting, running or growing a small business.

The masterclasses are designed to make business topics easier to understand and apply.

Subjects may include:

  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • Lead generation
  • Pricing
  • Profitability
  • Business finances
  • Customer retention
  • Email marketing
  • Content creation
  • Planning
  • Productivity
  • Building better offers
  • Increasing customer value
  • CEO thinking
  • Paying yourself properly

This is not training filled with complicated jargon and theory.

I explain the topic clearly, show you why it matters and give you practical actions you can apply to your own business.

The aim is always for you to leave knowing what to do next.

Comprehensive online marketing course

Your membership includes access to a comprehensive online marketing course that you can complete in your own time and at your own pace.

You do not have to attend at a particular time.

You can work through the lessons when it suits you and return to them whenever you need a refresher.

The course will help you understand the foundations of effective small business marketing, including:

  • Who your ideal customers are
  • What those customers need from you
  • How to communicate your value
  • How to create clearer marketing messages
  • Which marketing channels to use
  • How to create useful content
  • How to generate leads
  • How to turn visibility into conversations
  • How marketing and sales work together
  • How to create a more consistent approach

You do not need to be everywhere.

You do not need to post every hour of the day.

And you do not need to become a full-time content creator.

You need a practical marketing plan that helps the right people discover, remember and trust your business.

Newsletter and automated email campaign course

Email marketing allows you to remain in touch with potential and existing customers without relying entirely on social media algorithms.

Your membership includes a dedicated video course showing you how to create newsletters and automated email campaigns.

The course helps you understand:

  • Why building an email list matters
  • What to include in your newsletters
  • How often to send emails
  • How to create useful email content
  • How to promote your offers through email
  • How to create simple automated campaigns
  • How to nurture potential customers
  • How to remain visible without manually contacting everyone
  • How to encourage subscribers to take the next step

You can pause the videos, follow the steps and return to the training whenever you need it.

The aim is to help you create an email system that continues building trust and generating opportunities while you are busy doing other things.

A private WhatsApp community in your pocket

The private WhatsApp group is one of the most valuable parts of The Business Club.

It gives you somewhere to ask for help when you need it.

You do not have to wait for the next scheduled call.

You do not have to spend three hours searching online and wondering whether the answer you have found is reliable.

You can post in the group and ask:

  • Has anyone used this system?
  • How would you approach this customer?
  • What do you think of this offer?
  • Does this price make sense?
  • How can I word this message?
  • Has anyone experienced this problem?
  • Which tool would you recommend?
  • What should I focus on first?
  • Can someone give me a nudge to get this done?

You may receive an answer from me.

You may also receive support from another member who has already worked through the same issue.

That is the power of a good business community.

You do not have to know everything yourself.

You can learn from people who have already figured out how to do the thing you are currently struggling with.

The community alone is worth the membership

Running a small business can feel isolating, particularly when you work from home or operate as a sole trader.

Friends and family may care about you, but they may not fully understand:

  • Why one customer enquiry feels so important
  • Why you are worrying about pricing
  • Why a quiet sales month affects your confidence
  • Why you are excited about a new email system
  • Why following up can feel uncomfortable
  • Why one positive testimonial can make your entire week

The other members understand because they are running businesses too.

They understand the uncertainty.

They understand the excitement.

They understand the challenges of trying to remain confident while occasionally wondering whether you know what you are doing.

Inside The Business Club, you can:

  • Celebrate your wins
  • Share your challenges
  • Ask for ideas
  • Request feedback
  • Find collaborators
  • Make useful connections
  • Learn from other members
  • Receive encouragement when things feel difficult
  • Be reminded that you are not the only person working things out as you go

For £25 a month, you are not simply buying access to training.

You are joining a community.

And there is no longer any excuse to feel alone in your business.

Your Business Club membership includes

  • Monthly practical business challenges
  • Daily WhatsApp prompts
  • Weekly live Q&A calls
  • Monthly business masterclasses
  • A comprehensive online marketing course
  • A newsletter and email automation video course
  • A private WhatsApp support community
  • Advice from Lynne and fellow members
  • Regular accountability and encouragement
  • Opportunities to learn from other business owners
  • Large discounts on additional training, programmes and events

All for £25 per month.

Support when you need it — not just when things go wrong

Many business owners wait until they feel completely stuck before asking for help.

By then, the problem may have been worrying them for weeks or even months.

A small pricing concern becomes a major profitability issue.

An unanswered sales question becomes an abandoned opportunity.

A difficult marketing decision becomes six weeks of doing nothing.

The Business Club gives you regular access to support so you can ask questions earlier.

It can help you:

  • Make decisions more quickly
  • Avoid unnecessary mistakes
  • Maintain momentum
  • Get feedback before investing time or money
  • Follow through on your ideas
  • Remain focused on your priorities
  • Feel more confident in the actions you are taking

You do not have to save every question for an expensive one-to-one session.

You have somewhere to turn throughout the month.

Accountability without judgement

Most small business owners know at least some of the things they should be doing.

You probably already know you should:

  • Follow up with potential customers
  • Review your numbers
  • Ask for testimonials
  • Create marketing content
  • Make clear offers
  • Contact previous customers
  • Plan the month ahead
  • Check whether your prices are profitable

Knowing is not always the problem.

Doing it consistently is where people get stuck.

The Business Club provides gentle but regular accountability.

The daily prompts, monthly challenges, live calls and community help you keep taking action.

Nobody is going to tell you off because you had a difficult week.

Nobody expects perfection.

But we will encourage you to stop hiding behind “being busy” when there is an important action you know you need to take.

All with kindness, obviously.

Learn from other business owners

One of the advantages of joining a mixed business community is the variety of knowledge and experience within it.

A fellow member may have already:

  • Used the software you are considering
  • Solved the technical problem you are facing
  • Created the type of offer you are developing
  • Found a useful local supplier
  • Built an email campaign
  • Improved a sales process
  • Tested a marketing idea
  • Worked through a confidence problem
  • Made the mistake you are about to make

You do not need to reinvent the wheel every time.

Club members can share what worked, what did not and what they would do differently.

You may also find opportunities to collaborate, refer work and support one another.

Save money on additional support

Business Club members receive significant discounts on other training, programmes and events delivered by The Business Builder.

These may include:

  • Workshops
  • Training days
  • Challenges
  • Group programmes
  • Mastermind opportunities
  • Business events
  • Retreats
  • Additional specialist sessions

This means your membership can quickly pay for itself when you attend additional training or programmes.

You also have the reassurance of knowing that when a new opportunity is released, members will usually receive a preferential rate.

The Club is designed to give you ongoing value, not simply access to one monthly call.

What could change when you have regular support?

The Business Club is not a magic wand.

Joining will not grow your business while you ignore every prompt, avoid every call and leave every course unwatched.

You will need to participate and take action.

But when you engage with the support, you can begin to:

  • Feel less isolated
  • Make decisions more confidently
  • Stay focused on your priorities
  • Develop better business habits
  • Become more consistent with marketing
  • Improve your understanding of sales
  • Follow up more regularly
  • Try actions that previously felt uncomfortable
  • Understand your business numbers
  • Learn new skills
  • Complete more of the things you start
  • Build stronger relationships with other business owners

Sometimes, one answer to one question can save you hours.

One useful contact can create a new opportunity.

One challenge can help you take the action you have avoided for months.

One piece of encouragement can stop you giving up on a difficult day.

That is difficult to put a price on.

But the membership is still only £25 a month.

What you could gain from The Business Club

  • More confidence
  • Greater consistency
  • Clearer priorities
  • Practical business skills
  • Regular accountability
  • Faster answers to your questions
  • New ideas and perspectives
  • Support when things feel difficult
  • Connections with other business owners
  • A community that understands
  • More action and less procrastination

Who will you be learning from?

Hi, I’m Lynne Thomas — The Business Builder

I have been training and mentoring start-ups and small business owners since delivering my first free workshops in 2013.

Since then, I have supported more than 4,000 businesses through:

  • Business workshops
  • Training programmes
  • One-to-one mentoring
  • Mastermind groups
  • Accountability programmes
  • Challenges
  • Retreats
  • Business communities

I understand what it feels like to build a business without having all the answers.

I have made mistakes.

I have undercharged.

I have chased turnover.

I have worked too hard for too little return.

And I have spent far too much time on activities that felt productive but did not create a customer, sale or profit.

My approach is friendly, honest and practical.

I do not make business more complicated than it needs to be.

I will help you understand what matters, decide what to do and take action.

I will encourage you.

I will answer your questions.

And sometimes, I will give you the gentle nudge you need to stop avoiding something important.

The Club also gives members the opportunity to learn from one another.

I may lead the community, but I am not the only person with useful experience.

The knowledge, generosity and encouragement of the other members are a huge part of what makes the Club valuable.

Why is the membership so affordable?

Not every business owner is ready for a larger investment in one-to-one mentoring or an intensive programme.

But every business owner should have access to useful support, practical training and a community that understands.

The Business Club provides an affordable way to receive ongoing help without committing to a high-cost programme.

At £25 a month, the aim is to make support accessible while still providing enough structure, training and personal contact to create real value.

It also provides a useful starting point if you are new to my world and want to experience the way I work before considering another programme.

How The Business Club works

Joining is straightforward.

Step 1: Become a member

Complete your registration and set up your £25 monthly membership.

Step 2: Access your resources

You will receive information about accessing the training courses, live sessions and member resources.

Step 3: Join the WhatsApp community

Introduce yourself, tell us about your business and begin connecting with the other members.

Step 4: Attend the sessions that help you

Join the weekly Q&A calls, monthly masterclasses and challenges that are most relevant to you.

Step 5: Ask questions and take action

Use the support, complete the prompts and allow the community to help you keep moving forward.

You do not have to attend every live session to remain a member.

You can use the Club flexibly around your business, customers and other commitments.

However, the more you participate, the more value you are likely to receive.

What your £25 membership replaces

Your membership could replace hours of:

  • Searching online for conflicting answers
  • Trying to solve every problem alone
  • Buying courses you never complete
  • Wondering whether an idea is sensible
  • Delaying decisions because you are unsure
  • Feeling isolated when business is difficult
  • Waiting weeks before asking for support

It also gives you access to guidance and training at a fraction of the cost of regular one-to-one sessions.

That does not mean the Club replaces specialist legal, financial, accounting or regulated professional advice.

But for practical questions about running, marketing and growing your small business, it gives you a valuable place to start.

How much does The Business Club cost?

The Business Club costs £25 per month.

Your membership gives you access to the private community, regular prompts, monthly challenges, weekly Q&A calls, monthly masterclasses, online courses and member discounts.

Is there a long-term contract?

No

The Business Club is a monthly membership.

You can cancel your membership at any time without incurring any additional costs.

Who is The Business Club for?

The Club is designed for:

  • Aspiring business owners
  • Start-ups
  • Sole traders
  • Freelancers
  • Microbusinesses
  • Established small business owners

It is particularly useful for people who run their business largely alone and would value affordable, ongoing support and community.

Is the club suitable if I'm just starting my business?

Yes.

The training, courses and community can help you understand the foundations of building a business, including customers, marketing, sales, planning and business numbers.

You can also ask questions as your idea develops.

Is the club suitable for an established business?

Yes.

Established business owners can use the Club for ongoing learning, accountability, fresh ideas, business connections and support with specific challenges.

You do not need to be new to business to benefit from having a supportive community around you.

When are the weekly Q&A Calls?

The weekly Q&A schedule will be shared with you when you join but these typically take place at 4pm each Tuesday.

If you are unable to attend every session, you can still use the WhatsApp community, courses, masterclasses and other membership resources.

What happens on the weekly Q&A calls?

Members can bring questions, challenges and ideas relating to their businesses.

I provide practical guidance, and members can also learn from hearing the questions and experiences of other business owners.

What are the monthly challenges?

Each monthly challenge focuses on a useful area of business and encourages you to take practical action.

The challenges are designed to move you slightly outside your comfort zone, help you try new things and create a measurable outcome.

Do I have to complete every daily prompt?

No.

The prompts are there to support and encourage you, not to create another source of pressure.

Use the prompts that are relevant and helpful to your business.

However, taking regular action will help you gain more value from the membership.

What is included in the online marketing course?

The course covers the foundations of marketing a small business, including:

  • Understanding your ideal customer
  • Creating clear messages
  • Choosing marketing activities
  • Creating content
  • Generating leads
  • Connecting marketing with sales

You can complete it in your own time and return to the lessons whenever needed.

This is a video course with short 5 minute videos per lesson.

What is included in the email marketing course?

The video course helps you understand how to create newsletters and simple automated email campaigns.

It includes guidance on planning email content, nurturing subscribers, promoting your offers and creating a more consistent email marketing process.

What can I ask in the WhatsApp group?

You can ask practical questions about running and growing your business.

These may relate to:

  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • Pricing
  • Offers
  • Systems
  • Business tools
  • Planning
  • Confidence
  • Lead generation
  • Customer communication

The group does not replace regulated legal, accounting, financial or other specialist professional advice.

Do I have to participate in the WhatsApp group

No.

You can participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

Some people ask questions regularly.

Others prefer to read the prompts, learn from the conversations and contribute when they have something useful to share.

Others decide not to join the WhatsApp group and just focus on the online training that is available for them.

Are the live sessions available as recordings?

Where recordings are available, details will be shared with members.

Some community discussions or Q&A elements may not be suitable for recording because members could share private business information but challenges and masterclasses are always recorded.

What discounts do members receive?

Members receive preferential discounts on selected Business Builder training, programmes and events.

The exact discount may vary depending on the particular offer and will be explained when each opportunity is announced.

As a club member you will automatically qualify for a £500 saving off the mastermind or mentoring programmes.

 

is individual one-to-one mentoring included?

The Business Club provides access to group Q&A support, community advice, training and resources.

It does not include dedicated private one-to-one mentoring sessions.

Members who need personalised, in-depth support can discuss the separate mentoring options available.

What happens after I join?

You will receive instructions explaining how to access the member resources, courses, live sessions and private WhatsApp group.

You can then introduce yourself and begin using the support.

I will also invite you to an orientation session so that I can show were everything is and how it all works so that you can get the most out of your membership from the very start.

You do not have to build your business alone

Running a business will always involve challenges.

There will be decisions to make.

Things you have never done before.

Moments when you question whether you are on the right track.

But you do not have to face all of those moments on your own.

Inside The Business Club, you will have:

  • Somewhere to ask questions
  • People to celebrate your wins with
  • Practical training
  • Regular accountability
  • New ideas
  • Encouragement
  • Honest feedback
  • A community of business owners who understand

You can continue trying to work everything out alone.

You can keep saving questions until they become bigger problems.

You can keep buying random courses and hoping this will be the one you finish.

Or you can join a community that helps you learn, take action and keep moving.

For just £25 a month, you can put practical business support, accountability and community around you.

There is no longer any excuse to feel alone in your business.

Join today and begin accessing the training, support and community designed to help you move your business forward.
