Clear Ideas - Brighton

Laura Padbury

Having launched a new business at the beginning of 2023 and somewhat feeling unsure of where to start- meeting with Nick has been invaluable for me and my Club. Nick understood me and my passion and desire in creating something successful. Areas such as planning, positioning and strategy have been the key Nick has helped me with. Every time I walk away from our meetings, I feel more empowered, confident and focused on my business goals and objectives. Especially starting a new business solo - Nick is streamlining my journey to achieving my long terms goals I feel. He genuinely cares about my future success, and I look to him as a true confidant and business guardian angel. Nick is a pleasure to know and work with - and I always look forward to our meetings.

The Business Creative

The impact Nick has had on our business in the short time we have been working together is incredible. Nick’s huge wealth of business experience, is taking our Creative Agency to new levels. A straight-talking, practical and real-world approach is what makes working with him such a unique and rewarding experience. The entertainment experience economy is a complex and varied sector to operate in, but Nick’s ability to listen and interpret our goals, aspirations and obstacles is exactly the reason we continue work with him on an ongoing basis.

Working with Nick, is so much more than engaging the services of a coach, a mentor or even a guru. He’s part of the team, in our corner, sleeves rolled up and making a real and tangible difference from day one. He’s also a thoroughly nice guy who is genuinely passionate about making a difference.

We absolutely LOVE working with Nick. The impact he has had on our mentality, our network and our business has exceeded expectations already.

Nick has a straight to the point approach which has given us immense clarity with how we now view our business. We've never felt so energised and excited, he helped remind us why we started our business in the first place.

His knowledge, support and guidance is exactly what we needed in a period where we felt we were stuck in a bit of a rut!

It is always a pleasure working with Nick and you're guaranteed to have plenty of laughs along the way!

Working with Nick has been a true delight!
My goal was to get more clarity and practical advice on how to bring my business to the next level after being stuck for quite a while.
Within no time, Nick provided me with the necessary strategies and mindsets to get unstuck and move my business further ahead. I gained immediate clarity on where I want to go next and which steps I need to take in the next few months.
I would like to especially highlight Nicks honest, transparent and supportive approach. It created the space for me to be entirely vulnerable about my process and in turn get the most out of our work.
With Nick you will get really clear results fast and delivered in the most practical and straightforward way. I highly recommend getting in touch if you want to fast forward the growth of your business!

I achieved more clarity in just one hour with Nick than I had done with my own thoughts for months. Nick is a brilliant storyteller. He’s able to pull on his previous business experience and apply his successes and failings to all sorts of relevant business issues.

Nick has brilliant interpersonal skills, able to make those around him very comfortable, straight off the bat. He’s trustworthy, and honest, even if it’s not what you want to hear but delivers it in such a way that you build even more confidence in him and more importantly yourself and your business decisions and development.

Nick is a pleasure to work with!

I valued the space he held to explore my business aims in an open, curious and supportively challenging way.

Inside one conversation, he helped me better understand what I’m trying to achieve and the building blocks to get there.

I left with some potent questions to reflect on, some practical next steps and a feeling of excitement about what comes next.

If you’re looking for grounded advice and genuine enthusiasm and encouragement, then drop him a line - it’ll be well worth your time.

Nick was extremely helpful in guiding me through the funding process for my start-up.

I came to him with my business plan which lacked structure and needed a trusted pair of eyes to look over the finer details.

Nick was able to point out things that I needed to expand on, elaborate on the purpose of my brand and come at the task from a financial, structured angle that helped me to plan for the future.

Not only was his advice much needed for the funding process but it has been invaluable from a business growth perspective.
If you have an idea but you’re not sure how to take it to the next level, Nick is your man!

Katie Blake

Nick gave me structure and accountability. He cut to the chase, which I appreciate as I can be quite impatient! I have a travel business and so managing everything, needed to take the time to look at my strategy for the next 2-5 years, which Nick helped me to put into place. I now have a clear plan on how to take my business forward, which is crucial when working on my own.
