Founders Method
A three-month programme for brilliant small business founders who want more! More of the right clients, more confidence, more clarity and more support.
Get ready to be seen, be found and be proud.
We’ve been there. Running your business alone; inconsistent income month to month; wearing far too many hats; losing focus and motivation; no idea how to even begin ‘selling’. It’s tough, and it can feel like you’re wading through treacle, trying to make your brilliant business work.
You’re definitely not alone. In fact, there is a whole community of people that feel exactly the same, just waiting for the answer.
So why does it feel so hard?
You're brilliant at what you do.
You need expert help to get in front of the right people, be discovered online, and feel proud of how you show up.
So if you want:
✔️ More of the right clients, at the right price
✔️ A story and USP you're proud to own and talk about
✔️ Clarity, process and rules for your business that enable you to grow
✔️ More knowledge and a deeper understanding of how to market yourself
✔️ More authority and credibility in your space
✔️ The time and freedom to focus on delivering brilliant work
✔️ A community of other founders who genuinely get it
✔️ More momentum
✔️ And sales copy, brand images, a lead magnet, an elevator pitch or social media content done for you… this is the programme for you.
Founders Method brings together three specialist disciplines so you don't have to figure it all out alone or do it all by yourself.
Included in the programme are done-for-you deliverables that help drive your business forward, giving you the real step up that you need.
Founders Method is a three-month cohort programme for small business owners who are brilliant at what they do but struggle to share it consistently, sell it, or be proud of how it looks to the outside world.
The programme combines live learning, community, expert coaching and personalised done-for-you assets across three specialist disciplines.
With a full-day kick-off session on 23rd September 2026, followed by fortnightly sessions, regular accountability check-ins and a closing celebration on the 16th December 2026, this intensive programme is only for the founders who are truly ready to invest in their business and take it to the next level.

What’s included?
What sets this programme apart from others are the done-for-you deliverables. You don’t just learn the theory and then get waved off into the sunset with loads of homework, instead you walk away with more skills and tangible assets, specific to your business and your needs.
So what do you need?
Be Seen. If your biggest problem is getting in front of the right people, and feeling awkward about selling yourself, choose these deliverables.
Be Found. If people aren’t finding you online and your website isn’t doing the heavy lifting that you need it to, Be Found is your priority.
Be Proud. If you’re hiding behind old photos, no video presence or visuals that you’re embarrassed by, Be Proud will change that.

Testimonials
“This morning's session at the Not Another Social workshop was just what I needed. An opportunity to not only discuss all things business and career direction with Rachel Thompson, Jodi Peake and Lucy Shutt-Vine but an opportunity to reflect with and be energerised by three people who never fail to fill my cup... literally and metaphorically / mentally / spiritually”
“Last year, I decided to take the plunge and start my own business, an overwhelming and challenging decision. I knew I needed someone to gently guide me through the start-up process, and Lucy was amazing. She helped me see the potential of both the business and myself. Lucy’s experience across diverse roles means her coaching techniques and advice are varied, practical, and insightful. I would absolutely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for guidance, advice, or coaching.”
“Not Another have been fantastic to work with. From the very outset, they really understood the direction I wanted to take and have been incredibly supportive in bringing that vision to life.
They’ve supported me every step of the way — from initial ideas, through the changes along the way, acting as a constant sounding board, right through to the final details. They’ve made the whole process feel really considered and collaborative throughout.
I feel really lucky to have found them. I was quite particular in what I was looking for, and it can be difficult to find people who will take the time to truly understand your vision - but they absolutely did".”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The best way to think about this is: what is one new right-fit client worth to your business? For most of our founders, that's anywhere from £500 to several thousand pounds. The Founders Method doesn't just teach you how to get there, it builds you the actual assets to make it happen. An elevator pitch you're confident delivering, a website that converts, visuals that do the selling before you've said a word. These aren't things you'll do one day. They'll exist by December. One new client covers your investment. Everything after that is profit.
-
Why is the early bird price only available until 31 July, is that a genuine deadline?
-
Yes, the payments can be split but all instalments must be paid before the start date of 23rd September.
-
We offer credit card payments so you can manage re-payments your side.
Cost & value
-
Here's a simple steer to get you thinking before we even meet:
If your biggest problem is getting in front of the right people and feeling awkward about selling yourself - start with Be Seen.
If people aren't finding you online and your website isn't doing any of the work for you - Be Found is your priority.
If you're hiding behind old photos, no video presence, or visuals you're quietly embarrassed by - Be Proud will change that.
If you genuinely can't choose, that's absolutely fine. After our kick-off day together we'll know your business well enough to help you land on the right one. But most founders already have a gut feeling about where the biggest gap is.
-
We’ll need to consult with you so you are happy with the end result. This might mean it is over questionnaire format, booking a session to have content filmed/photographed or over a video call.
-
We will try and accommodate the deliverables as best to your company needs within reason, however, they have been chosen in this format so they meet specific objectives e.g. generating leads, improving professional look and feel, confidence in out-reach to clients.
-
You will receive all your done for you elements by the end of the programme at the latest unless otherwise agreed.
-
We want you to be genuinely proud of everything you leave with, that's the whole point of Be Proud. The consultation process at the start means we understand your business, your voice and what success looks like for you before we build anything. If something isn't right, we'll revisit it. You won't be leaving in December with something you wouldn't actually use. We’ll keep it to two rounds of amendments with your feedback.
The deliverables
-
Lucy Shutt-Vine is the founder of The Career Remote and a former Sales Group Director who left corporate life after burnout and retrained as a coach and facilitator. She works with founders and corporate teams on sales confidence, buyer psychology and owning their story as a USP.

Jodi Peake is the co-founder of Not Another Social, a brand photographer and videographer, who works with small business founders to create imagery and video content that genuinely reflects who they are and what they do.
-
Yes, starting with the best intention, knowledge and done for you content is a great way to start this journey.
-
This is for founders who know they're underselling themselves. You might already have clients but you're not charging enough, showing up consistently, or converting online. This closes that gap.
-
This is aimed at service and product businesses.
Credibility & fit
-
You will be asked to attend a live session which is 60 minutes ans there will be tasks for you to complete post session. These are all to help you build your visibility and sales approach. We suggest you dedicate 3-4 hours a week to the programme.
-
We will record the session and upload to a drive so you can come back to the content.
-
We want you to attend live and in person as much as possible so we can connect, who doesn't love a real life connection! There are some sessions which are much better in-person too. However, we understand life happens and somethings are unavoidable so if you do miss a session these will be recorded for you to catch up on.
-
It will start at 10am and finish at 3:30pm.
Time commitment
-
he programme is aimed at service and product businesses so it will be a mix of businesses. Each business will be different, even if it part of the same industry so we will meet you at where your business is now and provide the best deliverables for your business. There is space for everyone and we can learn from each other.
-
This programme works best for service and product businesses whose founders are looking for a step-up in being seen, generating more in-bound enquiries and sales as feeling proud of the content being produced. You might have just started in your business or you might have been going a while, but know you want to have this step up to raise your visibility to your ideal clients and bring in more business.
-
We're building this cohort deliberately and carefully. We're looking for founders who are generous with their experience, genuinely invested in each other's success and show up with honesty, support and care.
-
Yes, we recommend booking now to get your spot as we are intentionally keeping this to really small numbers.
The cohort
-
A link will be sent out via email ahead of the sessions if you can only attend online.
-
We’d love for as much of this to be in-person if you can attend, but we understand sometimes it is easier to join online or watch the recording.
-
78 New N Rd, Huddersfield HD1 5NE
Logistics
-
The whatsapp group will be left open so we can all stay in touch with one another. You’ll access to the recordings until end of January.
-
There might be a cohort 2 in the future but no confirmed date yet and the price will never be this low again, this is founding members pricing, so this is your perfect time to get a huge amount of value and content at this price.
