My journey

Where I came from.
And why I coach.

A story that starts earlier than most. And gets more honest along the way.

The start

I didn't wait for permission and overcome obstacles on the way

I started my first business when I was in secondary school; most people my age were still figuring out what they wanted to study for A levels. Starting a baking business outside of school and utilising my bus fare to run a shop from my school bag. That was a choice, and it came with everything you'd expect. The excitement. The mistakes. The moments of genuine progress, and the moments where it all felt like it was going backwards

Raised in the West Midlands, left halfway across the country to the south, I missed the West Midlands buzz, community and diversity, so I moved back. Returning, reconnecting with the community, and being a proud #Brumbassidor.

Bring it up to now

35 businesses later. Not all of them worked.

I've now started 35 businesses. They haven't all worked. That's the bit most coaches won't tell you. But it's also the bit that matters most. Because you don't get real business knowledge from the ones that went smoothly. You get it from figuring out what went wrong and what you'd do differently next venture.

I've worked on businesses from quick-win side hustles to rocky escapes and national businesses. Delivering talks at the Birmingham Library, online webinars and universities. Being in the right place and right time with the right people who are trying to build something impactful.

Why I coach

I got tired of watching talented people get stuck.

It came from watching talented, motivated people get stuck in exactly the same places. Not because they lacked ability, but because no one had helped them turn what was in their head into a structured plan.

That's what I do. And that's why I do it.

The bigger picture

Mission, Vision & Values

Mission

We exist to make entrepreneurship practical and achievable through action-focused coaching and structured planning, helping startup founders seize opportunities, understand the responsibilities and realities of business ownership, and build successful ventures that create meaningful impact.

Vision

We envision a future where entrepreneurial success is driven by preparation rather than chance, reducing business failure by equipping founders with the planning, co-support, and confidence needed to build sustainable and impactful businesses.

Values

  • Always be growing Committed to learning, experimenting and finding the right people to be better than yesterday
  • Follow up when needed Always being committed to deliver what is promised, a phone call to see how things are going, a email with a video explaining a concept in a bit more detail, being from start to finish.
  • Listen for clarity Actively listening to get to the rout of the issue, fully understanding the situation to give the best advice possible

How I work

Just honest work.

What you get from me, every session, every client, no exceptions.

Professional preparing notes and strategy before a coaching session

I come prepared.

Before every session, I ask what you would like to focus on. I prepare for the specific situation that you are facing in your journey. You are not starting over with each session you are having contextual knowledge of your bigger picture

Two people in a direct and honest business conversation

I'll tell you what I actually think.

If I identify a gap in the idea, I'll say so. Not to be mean, not to stop you but to encourage a clearer image of the idea. I believe that Honest input is more useful than comfortable agreement.

You leave with a plan.

Every session ends with a written action plan in your inbox. Any resources, videos, or links promised are in your inbox or written down for you. It is good enough to have a plan, but you need to know how to action it.

Why trust me

Real experience.
Real recognition.

Here's what I've built and earned. And what it means for the founders I work with.

"When I first met Feldon, I hadn't yet started to take action towards my dreams. When I started receiving regular mentoring calls from him and being held accountable, it gave me that push to start taking action. I am surprised by how similar our experiences are as entrepreneurs."
