Next members' event: Building Profitable Teams, Tue 17 Nov. Members go free.
My membership for UK owners past a million, with a team of six or more: a year of unlimited coaching with my own business coach, and my team auditing your business whenever you want a clear look at it. On top, a 12-month Event Pass to my workshops and masterclasses. By invitation.
Applications reviewed weekly.
I built the Accelerator around what moves a business at this stage: the right coach, a clear look at how the business really runs, and a plan for the year that someone keeps on track. My events come on top. You use it all when you need it, so you never pay for days you can't get to.
Every member runs a business turning over at least a million, with a team of six or more. Bring your senior team with you; I encourage it. One member comes down from Scotland every month to be in the room.
"It has really opened our eyes to what we weren't doing... You can really see the difference now between me and my manager, as I have stepped away from the day to day operations."
"This stops me overthinking and makes me get on with the bits that will make a difference... I am now accountable."
"I have never done anything like this before and it is definitely value for money."
Slot: 2-3 more member cards with one specific result each, with permission (Derek, home services, Scotland; Abid, AJ Sports). Replace Andrew Sweeney once these exist. Member headshots are needed for every card.
Everything you'll hear from me is happening in one of those businesses right now. Most of it went wrong at least once first.
Membership is built around your next twelve months. A big decision lands, you book Bob. A site starts slipping, you have it audited that week. Your concierge keeps the year on track. That's how it's meant to be used.
Bob Harper is my own business coach. He sits with you one to one, finds what's holding the business back, and holds you to what you said you'd do. Book him whenever you need him.
He's also a qualified accountant. So when the conversation turns to margin, cash or what a hire really costs, you're talking to someone who reads your numbers the way your bank does.
Want to see your business the way your customers do? In2Action, the business I bought in 2025, mystery-shop for some of the biggest names in UK leisure and travel. Call them in whenever you want the same for yours. You get secret shoppers, site visits, and a written audit of what they found and what to fix first. Use it after a change, when a site starts slipping, or when you want the truth.
When you join, we sit down and look at where the business is and where you want it in a year. Your concierge turns that into a plan for the next twelve months: when to bring Bob in, when to call In2Action, and which of my events will move the business most. If an In2Action workshop suits your team better, they'll say so and book your team in at £100 a seat.
My team and I run events every month: my one-day events on marketing, property, buying businesses and the customer experience, my two-day Business Masterclass, and the In2Action workshops that run for members only. Instead of paying hundreds for each ticket, you're covered for all of them for twelve months.
Come to the ones that suit the year you're having, and your concierge will tell you which are worth the day.

My days are filmed and sent to every member, so you can catch up on anything you miss.
Slot: endorsements4-6 short endorsements from recognisable UK operators or founders who know James's work: name, role, photo. Real names only, with permission. Drop the section rather than fill it with weak quotes.
Most owners I meet past a million are doing everything right and still carrying the whole thing on their back.
I've had a business lose £300,000 a year, two years running. I've lost a massive customer. There was a year I didn't pay myself.
What got me through was rarely a big idea. It was being in rooms with people a few steps ahead, having someone hold me to what I said I'd do, and seeing my own business clearly before the bank account told me.
That's the Accelerator. My coach and my team on your business for the next twelve months, and a seat at my events on top. Use as much of it as you need.
P.S. Can't make a date? My days are filmed and sent to every member, and Bob and In2Action are there whenever the business needs them. The members who get the most out of this use it for the whole business.

It's a monthly membership. We plan it around twelve months, but there's no contract: you can cancel any time. We'll take you through the investment on your call.
Use the coaching and the audits whenever they'll help the business. There's no monthly limit. We ask members to book sensibly so everyone gets the time they need.
Every workshop and masterclass on the members' calendar, including the two-day Business Masterclass. It's a seat for you at each one, and it comes free with membership. The Retreat in Provence is separate: it's a small group of 20 and priced on its own. Members get priority booking: you hear about it first and get first pick of the 20 places.
The pass runs while you're a member. If your membership ends, the pass ends with it.
Catch up on the recording. Come to the ones that suit you; there's nothing to keep up with.
The pass is a seat for you. Your team can join you at the In2Action workshops for £100 each, and your concierge will tell you which ones are worth sending them to.
Most are at my own venues in Essex. The Business Masterclass is at Ashridge House in Hertfordshire. Your concierge sends the details for each one.
Bob Harper is my own business coach and a qualified accountant. He's coached owners of everything from start-ups to £15 million businesses, and he works on the commercial side of growth: margin, cash, people and the plan.
Any time. You'll have your first session with Bob and your concierge plan within [X days] of joining.
Request your invitation and we'll be in touch within two working days to book your call.
