Strategy & Planning Coach for Small Businesses
With over two decades of real business experience, I now help other founders and small business owners create clear strategies and step-by-step plans. I help them move forward with confidence, resilience and a clear vision.
Clarity, direction and plans that actually work...
Every business reaches stages where the way forward isn’t obvious. My role is to help you untangle problems, brainstorm, troubleshoot and then plan the best way forward.
Together, we’ll design straightforward strategies and step-by-step plans that bring clarity, focus and momentum — so you can grow with confidence, resilience and vision.
We will work well together if...
You’re ready to move past the day-to-day and focus on the bigger picture.
You want clear, practical strategies you can put into action straight away.
You’re looking for direction that gives you both clarity and confidence.
Hi, I’m Tara... Strategy & Planning Coach for Small Businesses
I work with small business owners, solopreneurs and founders who’ve already built something real — and now want clarity on where to take it next.
After more than twenty years running businesses of my own and for others, there aren’t many challenges I haven’t come up against in one form or another.
I know how much energy, heart and hard work it takes to make a business succeed, and I also know how it feels when you hit a point where the way forward isn’t obvious.
That’s why my approach is grounded and straightforward. I help you talk things through, troubleshoot and problem-solve, and turn challenges into clear strategies and next steps.
Often, my clients say things like:
“I want more time to focus on the work I love.”
“I’ve built some success, but I don’t know what’s next.”
“The growth was exciting, but now it's hard to manage.”
“I want to simplify without breaking what’s working.”
“I want more freedom, not just more revenue."
“I want more freedom and balance, not just more revenue.”
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone...
You don’t have to figure it out by yourself. We will work together to create strategies and step-by-step plans that give you clarity, resilience and confidence in your next chapter.

"Tara has been an essential part of me starting and developing my gardening business. Her clear thinking, analytical questioning and supportive approach has allowed me to grow both personally and as a business owner.

Janice Shiner C.B
- Slapton Village Community Shop -
"Together with a small committee, Tara and I worked together to develop and establish the village shop. She brought experience of retail and customer service, running a small business and a relentless focus on getting it right.
We have spent many hours discussing her own small business and how to move forward. I learnt so much from her about digital marketing and how to grow a customer base in the technological world. Her attention to detail and passion for her product meant that she eventually sold a very successful business.
She is a joy to work with – huge empathy, great listener, generous with her knowledge – failure is not in her dictionary – always about taking that next step."
