Business Coach London
Business Coaching in a Nutshell
Do you ever feel like your business owns you? You dedicate your life to it and put in the hours, but never see the results you hoped for? As an experienced business coach, I'm here to tell you to stop looking for excuses and take control of your success.
OK, so work-related stress is affecting you on a personal level. You have become the workaholic you never meant to be, and you need to get out of that slump fast in order for you and your company to survive and start growing again. I've heard this story many times over the years, and my response is always the same: Stand up, fight, and take control of your destiny—because no one will do it for you.
My no-nonsense approach to business coaching cuts right through the B.S. to identify the obstacles between you and success. Book a free consultation today to find out whether my approach is right for you.
Leverage the Benefits of a Business Coach for a Brighter Future
I only work with people and business owners I know I can help. My full-on, no-holds-barred approach to coaching isn't for everyone. I can be brutally honest at times. And I don't accept excuses, what-ifs, or procrastination. But it's this approach that has delivered so many results over the years.
If you have the determination to achieve the future you've always dreamed of, and you're willing to hear some uncomfortable truths, you can reap a myriad of rewards and benefits.
Increase Revenue, Restore Work-Life Balance, Get More Done In Less Time, and Fall In Love With The Work You Do All Over Again - Business Coaching In a Nutshell
Hard work doesn't have to be hard. Instead of working longer, you should work smarter. Yes, it is possible to increase your income while restoring the work-life balance your friends and family deserve. And with the services of an experienced business and time management coach like me, you can squeeze more into less time.
What can all this mean for your future? Success. Fulfilment. Contentment. However you label it, the right coach can transform every aspect of your existence by focusing on your professional life.
Drive Your Business. Don't Become a Passenger
I get it. Owning a business today isn't easy. Spiralling costs, increases in red tape, and an increasingly volatile market can all combine to leave you struggling to pay the bills each month. So, like most owners, you become involved in the minutiae in order to keep the ship afloat.
Reading The E-Myth Revisited: Why Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It had a transformative effect on both my life and my approach to life coaching. In it, author Michael Gerber explores the reasons that so many businesses fail (small and big). One of the reasons he explores is the tendency for owners to become passengers rather than drivers (I learnt that the hard way myself!).
Gerber said that to succeed, owners have to work 'on' their business and not 'in' it. If your business can't operate unless you're right at the centre of things, it's doomed to failure. One of my primary focuses when I'm working with you will be to take an objective, global approach to running your business.
Work With a Professional To Unsure Your Business And Personal Growth
Know that you are not alone and that I am committed to helping you get back on your feet to build on the potential you know your business has. With the support of one of the top business coaching specialists in the UK, you can forget about:
- 70+ hour work weeks that are unhealthy and ineffective
- Missing out on family events and feeling like you don't have a life outside of work
- KNOWING that success is within reach but not getting there
- Being stuck between "a rock and a hard place" of too much work and too little money
It's time to start working smarter and develop (or turn around) your business in record time. Business coaching services are what you need to create extraordinary results.
But I'm not a magician. I can't just wave a wand, tell you where you're going wrong, and leave you to put things right. I will push you harder than you've ever been pushed before. Excuses are for losers; results are for winners. You have to choose which approach you want to take—and whether or not your ultimate vision in life is worth fighting for.
From Bankruptcy To Successful Serial Entrepreneur
Most business coaches have only ever grown a coaching business, making them less experienced than somebody with a background in the real business world.
"Fortunately, this business coach from London has done a lot more than just coaching during his career", quoting one of my incredible clients.
Years ago, I was forced to file for bankruptcy, which taught me a fundamental lesson in business survival.
I've seen highs, and I've hit rock bottom, and I will protect you from making the same mistakes I once made.
Since then, I have started an entire group of home service companies (and other businesses) and have successfully marketed dozens of products and services. I have also created a successful non-profit organisation with over 600 volunteers.
So, what did I do differently? How did I become one of life's winners? Well, I started to not give a s**t about what others thought of me. After all, the vast majority of people don't care about you—regardless of what they say to your face.
Too many people spend too much time listening to Wii-FM—"What's in it for me?" These people won't do you any favours, so why are you worried about what they think? Be selfish. Be relentless. Look after number one.
Former or active business owners have the proper perspective to guide you through successfully managing your company.

MY CLIENTS SAY
Jake is a fantastic coach who gets to the core of the issues excellently. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double that I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward if needed and when necessary. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.
What a tremendous coach. Jake has a very unique and powerful style. His help allowed me to fix my objectives and build a very profitable online business. He pushed me to reach my full potential! I have been motivated and inspired, and have learned powerful tools for my business and personal life. I feel the happiest in my entire life. Thank you so much. You are a huge inspiration, Jake!
Jake has had an enormous effect on my motivation, my decision making and discovering my true potential. Over the past year, I have found my dream job, got out of a toxic relationship, lost weight and started my own part-time business. I found Jake's coaching to be superb and life-changing. The best investment in my life.
When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel... However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right tracks. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!
Jake's work as a coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.
The only thing I can say is a "huge thank you, Jake"! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income. However, Jake added a few missing puzzles to my plan and helped me accelerate my income tremendously in just a few weeks. He could see what I was missing and helped me to make the right decisions and changes. It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it.
Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn't brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.
There aren't any words that could describe how much Jake has supported me through his coaching. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism are to be admired. He will always go the extra mile to help you achieve your goals. The new approach and tools I now have, enable me to have a much stronger focus and plan to action in achieving my deepest dreams. I also like his (sometimes brutal) honesty and speaking the "truth", exactly how it is. Only a coach can tell you what you have to fix to get better results. He doesn't just cheerlead his clients through the highs, but also through the challenges. I decided to extend his services to another few months for other problems and goals. I look forward to working with you again and again.
Jake offers an excellent service. It is incomplex and at the same time full of wisdom. He was able, in a straightforward way, to help me find my inner truth. At the same time, he inspires, not only through his fantastic support, faith, and confidence but also with his contagious vibrancy and beautiful personality. My self-belief and determination have soared. I can honestly say since coaching with Jake, my life has never been lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your life coach!
Coaching sessions with Jake were life-changing. Even after one or two sessions, there were absolute and distinct differences in my thinking and in the actions that I took in my business and day-to-day life. In addition to confidence, he helped me develop valuable sales and communication skills that helped me grow my business. He made me find ways to overcome my limiting beliefs. Jake opened up the doors to those talents and ideas that had never crossed my mind before. He is truly a fantastic example and representative of the coaching industry. I now know for sure that working with a coach can not only multiply your productivity but also give you more freedom and help achieve incredible business goals.
Jake! The only thing I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You have changed my life for the better. Finally, I feel like I am alive. Thank you for showing me that I can do what I always wanted to do.
Choosing to work with Jake has been one of my best decisions. I was a little bit doubtful about life coaching. However, I decided to give it a go after the first session with this amazing man, and I was blown away by his style and knowledge. He's helped me to clarify my vision, find exactly what I want from life, lay out the path for my future, and gain new insight into how to carry out my life goals. All our coaching sessions were run in both a professional and friendly manner. However, Jake likes to get to the core of every problem and could be strict and firm, but only to help you get your best. Most importantly, he helped me overcome my eating disorder problem. He has changed my entire life. It was a privilege to work with him.
Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I'm truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach.
Working with Jake gave me tremendous confidence and motivation. He is an excellent coach, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for one. He took me from talented but with a lack of confidence and self-belief to a bold athlete. He has taught me to dream big dreams, aim to the top and to be the best. Now I am interested only in the 1st place - second place is the first place among the last ones.
Getting a coach was one of my best decisions in life! If you are hesitating, please STOP! In my case in a few short months, I went from procrastinating and agonising over taking my next step, to putting myself out there and succeeding! It was an amazing and profound experience. Jake is intuitive and positive. And most importantly, he doesn't waste time. His style is an excellent balance of “let's get things done” and also creative and exploratory. He seems to know when to focus on the concrete goals and when to explore our motivations and feelings.
Jake is a charming coach to work with. He is not only a great listener but also very generous with his time when needed. He is very determined to help you with achieving your best version of yourself. He helps you assert yourself and take daily actions in order to complete your goal. He helped me reveal my inside genius and also discover that I am really able to be successful in all areas of my life. Jake helped me a lot. I was in a very stuck position when I met Jake. Thanks to his magic, I am on my way of taking on the whole world! He has helped me to discover ways to improve many areas of my life and he has helped me to create the foundation for my new future, the things I would never think could happen to me.
Jake coached and mentored me through the first phases of my internet company. He is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced businessman. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his incredible help. Jake helped me a lot by merely believing in me and my business. My confidence soared through the roof from the very first chat with this brilliant man. He helped me set up my own online fashion business, and it is running very successfully now. Thank you for your impressive help. Keep doing what you are doing!
I can highly recommend Jake and his excellence services. He helped, mentored me and coached me to take me and my business to the next level. And then another and another one. I can not thank him enough!
Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I've become much stronger, my self-belief went through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.
I have just one word to describe this guy: Phenomenal! Jake gave me the tools, insights, and courage to chase my real dreams. Thanks to life coaching with Jake, my life has changed dramatically! I am now on my way to realise my biggest dreams and goals. The techniques Jake has given me are life-changing. Jake is the best coach I have ever met.

Our journey begins with a free initial consultation at my London office or online via Zoom if you are from outside the London area. During this meeting, we’ll candidly discuss your business and private situation, goals, and challenges. I will explain how I work and what my expertise is, and I will answer any questions you might have. This allows us to get to know each other and assess whether we’re a good fit.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll develop a customised plan that outlines our objectives, timeline, and desired outcomes.
Throughout the coaching process, we’ll meet regularly to discuss your progress, celebrate your wins, and address any roadblocks that arise. I’ll provide you with feedback, expertise, guidance, and support every step of the way. Sometimes, the smallest insight may change a lot.
I have helped many clients, including solopreneurs and startups, to well-established small and medium-sized enterprises. I’ve worked with all sorts of entrepreneurs, business owners, and business leaders, including software engineers, doctors, architects, lawyers, executive coaches, and people who dropped out of university.
I support people in niches like food services, structural steel, software, cosmetics, aviation, construction, fashion, alcohol, film & TV, beauty, social media, retail, furniture, marketing & lead generation, all sorts of e-commerce, you name it! And I helped all those fantastic people in all those industries achieve amazing results.
I am based in London and have worked with many London businesses, but I speak a global language of success that resonates with people from Ireland, the USA, Canada, Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Poland, Singapore, and many other countries around the world.
No matter what your industry or size, I believe that every corporation has the potential for growth and success. My goal is to help you unlock that potential and find the right strategy to achieve your desired results.

Some people who come to see me are moving from career coaching to entrepreneurial coaching, understanding that starting a business or a side hustle is much safer than just having a job. For them, moving from career coaching to a mix of business and life coaching is the most crucial decision in their lives.
A business or executive Coach can be the ultimate difference-maker for any business looking to grow, improve, or tackle challenges. But it’s important to understand that this isn’t a quick fix. It takes commitment, effort, and a willingness to adapt and grow.
Here are some signs that this might be just the right service for you and your business:
- You’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed, and it is affecting your decision-making skills and self-confidence—stopping you and your company from moving forward
- You’re not seeing the results and business growth you want
- You can't strike the right equilibrium between your work life and your business life
- You’re facing a specific business challenge that you’re struggling to overcome, like securing the right investment or finding ideal prospects
- You’re looking for a fresh perspective, a different strategy, or new ideas
- You and your company are not reaching your full potential
- You want to accelerate your growth and fulfil your potential business goals
If any of these resonate with you, I encourage you to schedule a free initial consultation so we can discuss your needs and how I can help.
I certainly can't talk on behalf of other coaches, but the best and most successful professionals adapt their approach according to the needs of the individual. They then develop approaches, tools, and exercises to change the way their clients think and react to obstacles and setbacks.
We work with business leaders, entrepreneurs, high-achievers, low-achievers, and everyone in between. But what we don't do is simply issue instructions and feedback. We focus on developing a growth mindset.
Would you pay for a course that gave you the knowledge to secure your dream job? Would you invest in a business if there was a good chance it would make you rich? Don't think of coaching in terms of an expense; think of it as an investment in your future.
How determined are you to make your dreams come true? How sick are you of falling short or living someone else's life? Now, think about the cost of your sessions from that perspective. You might come to the conclusion that it's a price worth paying.
