You've got an idea. Maybe several.
But you're stuck between thinking and doing.

Overwhelm

Too many ideas, too many options, no clear path forward

Lack of Clarity

You can't describe your business idea in one clear sentence

No Accountability

You've been "about to start" for months — maybe years

This weekend changes that.

What You'll Leave With

This isn't a motivational weekend. It's a working retreat with tangible outcomes.

A Validated Direction

Clarity on which business idea to pursue — and why it's the right one for you

A One-Sentence Offer

A clear description of who you help, with what, and how — something you can use immediately

A 30-Day Action Plan

A practical, step-by-step plan for the first month after the retreat — no fluff, just what to do next

An Accountability Group

A peer group of founders who'll check in weekly and hold you to your commitments

The Cotswolds
in Midsummer

Rolling hills, honey-stone villages, and long summer evenings. The Cotswolds is one of England's most beautiful landscapes — and the perfect backdrop for your best thinking.

Under two hours from London, you'll arrive to a setting deliberately chosen to get you out of your daily environment and into a different headspace. No office walls. No commute. Just space to think, plan, and build.

An optional group walk through the countryside on Saturday evening — the perfect way to decompress after a full day of workshops.

Guest Speaker

Gavin Langley

Former Senior VP, Shell
Serial entrepreneur & conscious business leader
"The best businesses aren't built on clever ideas. They're built on clear decisions, conviction, and the courage to start before you're ready."

Gavin spent decades building and leading at one of the world's largest companies. Now a serial entrepreneur, he brings a rare perspective on decision-making, conviction, and building businesses with purpose. His Saturday session covers what the corporate world taught him about starting with intent — and how those principles apply whether you're building your first business or your fifth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything. Two nights accommodation in a private room, all meals and drinks from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, the full workshop programme including a guest speaker session with Gavin Langley (former SVP at Shell), a physical workbook, eight follow-up coaching sessions over four weeks (Tuesdays & Thursdays, 6–7 PM), and access to the peer accountability group.
