One-to-one coaching, mentoring and consulting
Private support for the decisions on your desk.
For owners who want focused, confidential help with their own business, on their own schedule. A candid sounding board who knows what it is like to carry the final decision, and who will hold you to what you say you'll do.
Which suits you
One-to-one or a Growth Board?
Choose one-to-one if
You want strategy built around your business alone, you need to discuss matters too sensitive even for a confidential group, or your diary can't commit to twelve full days a year. Sessions can be in person or online.
Choose a Growth Board if
You want eleven other owners' experience on your issues, a fixed rhythm of accountability, and a wider network of peers.
Or both
Growth Board with Mentoring and the Founder's Circle combine a Growth Board with monthly one-to-one sessions across the year.
What we cover
The same six areas as our Growth Boards.
We start wherever the pressure is greatest. See everything each area covers.
Busy but drifting
Clarity & Strategy
Knowing where the business is going, why, and what to say no to, so every big decision is made against a clear destination.
Feast and famine
Demand
A steady flow of the right clients at the right price, from more than one source and not only from your own selling.
Busy but broke
Money & Wealth
Healthy margins, cash in the bank, and personal wealth built outside the business so your family's future doesn't depend on one company.
Nothing works without you
Team & Systems
A team and systems that deliver without you, so you can step away for weeks and the business still runs.
Running on empty
The Leader
The mindset, energy and judgement to lead well for decades, not just survive this year.
Success at any cost
Life
A business that serves the life you want, rather than one that consumes it.
Sessions on tax, investments, pensions and estate planning are educational. Where you need regulated advice, we introduce you to qualified, independent specialists.

Want a peer group as well? The Founder's Circle combines monthly one-to-ones with Sanjeev and a Growth Board seat.
Consulting and introductions
When you need a specialist, not a sounding board.
Some problems need hands-on help or deep technical knowledge. Sanjeev can work on specific projects with you, such as brand and positioning, pricing, operational leverage or preparing for an exit, and can introduce you to trusted specialists in finance, tax, legal, M&A, marketing and more from the network the IGNITE Group has built over three decades.
Consulting projects are priced according to scope, and agreed with you in writing before any work starts.
