How UK business owners get more customers, more profit and their evenings back in two 20-minute jobs a week

Dear business owner,

There is a quote sitting in your sent items from three weeks ago that you never chased.

There is a price list you last changed in 2023.

And there is a customer who bought from you in March who would happily buy again, if anybody bothered to ask.

None of that is a knowledge problem. You know about all three. You could fix any one of them this afternoon and be measurably better off by Christmas.

You won't, though.

Not because you are lazy. You are probably the hardest-working person you know. You won't because at nine o'clock at night, after a full day of actually doing the work, "marketing" is the thing that gets done when everything else is finished.

Which is never.

This letter is about fixing that. Not with more information, because you have plenty. With something far more useful, that almost nobody running a small business in Britain has.

Why nothing you have bought so far has worked

Be honest. Somewhere there is a folder with a course in it you watched about a third of. A book on the pile with a corner turned down. A 6am networking breakfast, eleven months ago, that produced nothing you can name.

It is not your fault. The business training industry sells information, because information is cheap to make and easy to sell. Then it leaves you on your own with it, on a Sunday night, to work out where to start.

But information was never what was missing. You have more of it than any generation of business owner in history, and most of it is free and on your phone.

Three other things are missing. They are missing for almost every owner I have ever met:

Fix those three and the information you already have starts working. Leave them broken and no course in the world will save you.

I learned this the expensive way

I left school with GCSEs and no plan. At eighteen I was the youngest restaurant manager Burger King had in the UK.

In 2004 I started selling iPod cases from my bedroom. Within three years it was turning over more than £2 million a year. Then I made one bad decision, the business went under, and I came out of it £50,000 in personal debt.

I couldn't afford a marketing agency (I'd already paid several and got nothing back), so I taught myself how to get a business found. In 2009 I started an agency of my own. It grew to ten staff and more than 150 clients, from FTSE 250 companies down to one-van trades.

And after watching 150 businesses up close, the pattern was impossible to miss:

The businesses that grow are not the ones with the best ideas. They are the ones that keep doing the small things after the enthusiasm wears off.

The review request. The quote chase. The price rise. The call to the customer who went quiet. Small, dull, twenty-minute jobs, done every week, for a year.

The owners who did them grew. The owners who knew about them, and meant to get round to them, stayed exactly where they were. Same intelligence. Same market. Different habits.

So I built something to make those small jobs actually happen.

Introducing The Business Owners Society

A membership for UK business owners that gives you the training, the tools to do the work, two small jobs a week, and a room full of owners who notice when you do them.

It runs on one simple idea I call the Two Jobs System:

1. See where you are. A Google Maps scan of your whole trading area and a business scorecard show you, in about four seconds, where you are losing work.
2. Get your two jobs. Every week the system picks the two highest-value jobs for your business, with the tool and the template attached. About 20 minutes each.
3. Do them. The tools do the heavy lifting. Do your two and the week is secured. Your streak grows by one.
4. Prove it. Pass the test at the end of each course and earn the certificate and badge. Re-scan your map and watch the red turn green.

Two jobs a week is 104 jobs a year. A hundred and four small, deliberate things done to grow your business that nobody in your town, in your trade, will have done. That is the whole secret. It has just never been made easy before.

In week one, for example, your two jobs might be:

• Ask your last five happy customers for a Google review (the tool writes the text and sends it)
• Chase every quote you sent in the last 30 days (the script is already written)

Forty minutes. And both of those make you money this month.

Here is everything you get

One login. Here is what is inside, right now, on the day you join:

What would all that cost you separately?

I'm not going to invent a "total value" figure. Here is what the nearest equivalents cost, from each company's own published prices (checked August 2026):

And that's before the 49 courses, the swipe files, the AI tools and the community. Or compare it with the best-known UK business club, at £99 plus VAT every four weeks: thirteen payments a year, about £1,544.

So what does it cost?

Not £2,807. Not £1,544.

£49 a month. Twelve payments a year, not thirteen. No VAT on top.

And your first month is £1. One pound, to use everything, do your first jobs and see your own map, before you pay a penny more.

Why so little? Because there is no headquarters, no sales floor and no team of a hundred. It is a small operation running good software, and that software costs roughly the same whether there are fifty members or five thousand. The price isn't a promotion. It's what it actually costs to run.

Put it another way: one extra job a month pays for it. One quote chased that would have gone cold. One old customer who came back. One price rise that nobody noticed. Most members find that in their first fortnight.

Founding members

The first 100 paying members get the Founding Member badge beside their name in the community, permanently. Once 100 accounts have joined, it's gone, and no one will ever be able to earn it again. I'm not going to put a fake countdown here. When they're gone, they're gone.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants it done for them. This is done-with-you. The tools do the heavy lifting, but you do the two jobs.
• Anyone who can't find forty minutes a week. Not forty a day. Forty a week. If that's genuinely impossible, the streak will just make you feel bad, and you'll cancel.
• Anyone looking for a networking group. No 6am breakfasts, no name badges, no sixty-second pitch rota.
• Anyone who already does all of this, every week. Genuinely, well done. You don't need us.

Questions owners ask

You have two choices from here

The first is to close this page and carry on as you are. Next month, the quote will still be unchased, the prices still the same, the customer still waiting to be asked. Nothing bad will happen. Nothing will change either.

The second is to spend £1, log in tonight, and do your first two jobs this week. If it isn't for you, cancel in two clicks and you've lost a pound. If it is, a year from now you'll have done 104 things to grow your business that nobody else in your town has done.

I know which one I would pick.
