Aligned Start™:
Build a business that sustains you - right from the beginning.
So you don’t have to burn-out and rebuild later.
For creative founders in Year 0–2 who want to get momentum without grinding themselves into the ground.
You’re building something new
and you’re already feeling it.
You’re solo or working with a very small team.
You’re figuring it out as you go.
And already, the doubts are creeping in:
“Am I doing this right?”
“Will this actually work?”
“How long can I keep this up?”
You're navigating the perfectionism that stops you from shipping.
The voice that says “Who am I to do this?”
The exhaustion from trying to force yourself into someone else’s routine.
The fear that one wrong move will slow you down—or worse, set you back.
And underneath all that?
The quiet question: “How do I build this without breaking myself?”
And the reality:
You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a method problem.
Most business advice assumes you work in neat, linear ways.
But creativity isn’t linear—and neither are you.
You can’t schedule a breakthrough
Your energy ebbs and flows
You need rhythms, not rigid routines
And if you keep forcing yourself into systems that don’t fit?
You’ll burn out before you even get started.
What you actually need
You don’t need more hustle.
You don’t need more pressure.
You need someone who knows how to build real businesses—and how creative people actually work.
You need:
✓ Support that matches your rhythm
✓ Tools that respect your wiring
✓ A thinking partner who can help you build it better, without burnout
Think: a Chief of Staff meets creative performance coach.
Someone who can help you move forward strategically and sustainably.
That’s what Aligned Start™ offers.
What You Get
Aligned Start™: The Programme
6-month minimum commitment
Cohort (max 4), Duet, or 1:1
Strategic Clarity
Start with a Clarity Day—a full-day live workshop (Lisbon, Portugal or Midlands, UK) to get honest about what you're building, what actually works for you, and what needs to shift.
You’ll leave with:
A clear direction
Your next right steps
A cohort of founders building alongside you
Rhythmic Support
Then, join your live small group coaching rhythm:
Monthly Planning Calls – set priorities and clear blockers
Mid-Month Check-Ins – stay accountable and supported
WhatsApp Group – voice notes, micro-wins, Monday commitments, real community
Template + Resource Library – tools you’ll actually use (not just save)
No content bloat. No passive watching.
Just real-time implementation inside a real-time business.
What we focus on:
This isn’t a set curriculum.
It’s a sustainable rhythm—a rolling structure designed to support consistent high performance.
We start with your Clarity Day, then move into a monthly planning rhythm to help you build what matters, without burning out.
You’ll revisit the fundamentals regularly, going deeper each time.

Is Aligned Start™ for you?
Aligned Start™ is a great fit if:
✓ You’re in Year 0–2 of your business
✓ You’re solo or have a very small team
✓ You’re doing £0–50k revenue
✓ You want to build aligned from day one
✓ You’re creative or craft-first (chef, baker, designer, coffee-roaster, arts curator, maker, artist, the list goes on)
✓ You’re open to trying a different way
✓ You’re ready to change the way you work
✓ You can commit for 6 months minimum
It's not the right fit if:
✗ You’re past Year 2 → Try [Aligned Growth™]

✗ You want hacks or plug-and-play systems
✗ You’re not open to looking at your patterns (inner work is part of this)

It’s about building the right foundations early—so you don’t pay for them later.

If it helps you:
