Build a clear, focused plan for the final quarter of 2026, ready for 2027.

Running a business means you’re constantly reacting - to clients, staff, cashflow and the unexpected challenges that arise.

What often gets squeezed out is the time to properly step back and plan.

This 90-Day Planning Day is designed to give business owners the space, structure and support to create a clear, realistic plan for the final quarter of 2026, with practical actions you can actually follow through on.

This is a practical, in-person planning day for established businesses. It’s best suited to business owners with 3+ employees.

This is not a motivational talk or a fluffy workshop. It’s a hands-on planning day where you’ll work on your business.

Mat Parkins from The AI Guys will be giving a valuable talk:

AI for Leaders

Goal: To help business owners, directors, and senior managers move beyond the hype and make confident, practical decisions about AI deployment.

Focus: It covers the operational reality of AI today, the risks regarding data and governance, how to set internal boundaries, and how to plan for the next 12 months.

Merv Jeffery from ActionCOACH will be providing a useful talk:

Networking or Not-Working?

The difference between being there and being remembered.

How to walk away from networking events with leads and meaningful connections, not just business cards.

Who the day is for

This event is ideal for business owners in East Anglia with 3 or more employees who:

Want more clarity and control over the next quarter

Are busy, but are not always focused on the right priorities

Have growth goals but really need a clear plan with actions to deliver them

Want time away from day-to-day distractions to think properly

Work well with practical structure, not theory

Want to spend time connecting with other like-minded local business owners

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to be willing to take a single day out of your business, to step back and plan properly.

What you’ll work on during the day

Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through a structured planning process that makes sure you:

Review what’s really working (and what isn’t)

Clarify and stick to your priorities for the next 90 days

Set clear, measurable goals for October, November and December

Break those goals down into practical action steps

Leave with a plan you can actually implement

You’ll be given 90-day planning resources on the day to work through and take away, so your plan doesn’t just stay in your head.

Led by award-winning coach Martin Baillie, this isn’t a workshop full of fluff. It’s a serious, energising, business-reset day built around real action and results.

What you’ll leave with

By the end of the day, you will have:

A clear, written 90-day plan for the final quarter of 2026

Defined priorities and actions, not just ideas

Greater focus and confidence in your direction

Renewed energy from stepping away and thinking clearly

Perspective and motivation that comes from planning alongside other local business owners

Many people find this kind of dedicated planning time is one of the most valuable things they do all year.

The setting

The day will be held at Bury St Edmunds Golf Club, providing a calm, professional environment away from everyday distractions.

You’ll be looked after with:

Pastries on arrival

Tea and coffee throughout the day

A buffet lunch

All dietary requirements catered for (with advance notice)

Free parking is available on site.

“I've been attending GrowthCLUB for over 2 years now. The best part about it is the tips from like-minded business owners, as well as the learning from the excellent coaches and guest speakers. My business has grown over the two years I’ve been working with the ActionCOACH team - so much so that I’ve been awarded Highest Revenue Growth for the last two quarters! GrowthCLUB helps me organise my goals and ambitions for the next quarter. It gives me time away from being ‘in’ the business, and allows me to focus ‘on’ the business.”

- Dan Cocksedge, MD of Switch Direction

“Great energy, great actions to take forward with the business, grea
