The Collective is hosting its 6-Week Business Growth Programme in July at The Gas Works in Southend-On-Sea. This event offers expert mentoring, practical strategies, and networking opportunities for business owners to foster their growth. Participants can expect professional support within a community setting designed to enhance real-world success.
More than a course - a small group programme where business owners get expert mentoring, practical strategy, and a community for real growth
You're not stuck. You're just doing it alone.
Running a business takes everything you've got — and most of the time, there's no one in your corner who truly gets it. No structure, no sounding board, no clear plan for what comes next.
That's exactly why we created The Collective.
What Is The Collective?
The Collective is a 8-week, in-person group programme for small business owners who want more clarity, confidence, and structure — without doing it all alone.
Each Thursday morning (9:00am–11:00am), we work through a different building block of your business in a small, supportive group setting. Every session is practical, focused, and designed to move you forward.
What You'll Learn
By the end of the programme, you'll have worked through every core area of your business — not just one. Here's what we cover:
✦ Clarity & direction — get clear on where you're going and what success actually looks like for you, so every decision becomes easier
✦ Offer, pricing & ideal clients — define what you sell, who it's for, and how to price it with confidence
✦ Marketing & visibility — build a simple, consistent approach that gets you in front of the right people without burning out
✦ Sales & enquiries — learn how to turn interest into income in a way that feels natural, not pushy
✦ Systems & structure — streamline how your business runs day-to-day so things happen without the chaos
✦ Time, energy & boundaries — protect your most valuable resources and build a way of working that's actually sustainable
✦ Confidence & decision making — strengthen your ability to back yourself, make clear decisions, and lead your business with intention
✦ Growth planning — leave with a practical plan for your next stage and the momentum to act on it
What's Included
✔ 8 weekly in-person group sessions (Thursday 9–11am)
✔ A workbook for every session to use in real time and beyond
✔ Access to a dedicated WhatsApp support group throughout the programme
✔ 2 hours of one-to-one support with Emma or David, focused on your biggest business challenge
✔ A free copy of The Collective Guidebook when you attend your first session
Who Is It For?
The Collective is for small business owners at any stage, whether you're just getting started or you've been running things solo for years and are ready to take it further.
You'll get the most from this programme if:
You're working harder than ever but not seeing the results you want
You want clear direction and a practical plan — not just more information
You're craving accountability and a community of people who genuinely get it
You're ready to stop reacting and start leading your business with intention
We expected mostly start-ups when we launched, but in reality, many of our students were established business owners who simply wanted support, structure, and people around them. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place!
What Past Students Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The support, encouragement and sense of community throughout the programme made a real difference to my business. I felt listened to and motivated every step of the way. Growing my self confidence week by week... I'd 100% recommend it to anyone looking for meaningful support and personal development." — Tracy Foster, Adams Catering
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Before this, I was focused solely on my hairdressing business and didn't know how to expand or try anything new. Through the course, they guided me step-by-step, helped me identify my strengths, and supported me to pivot into a new side venture alongside my salon work... I will be starting this new income stream soon — something I never would have had the confidence or clarity to plan without their help." — Kim Quincey
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I got a lot more than I bargained for — they didn't just provide me with personalised advice surrounding my PT business, but I was also provided with a small network of small business owners... creating an environment suitable for such an endeavour. The course was very well organised, informative, and the personable dynamic meant that it evolved along with the individuals that participated in it. I couldn't recommend Videa Consulting enough." — Sam Georgiou, Personal Trainer
