"Shelli quickly helped us work out where our strengths were as two business owner who were doing the same tasks, some of which we didn't like.  We quickly realised how much we could achieve by being more structured and what else we needed in the business to grow.  We had a couple more sessions with Shelli and then we carried on with the new structure ourselves, with a stronger, more positive mindset and more customers!"  - Co-owner, Mortgage company, Hertfordshire
