Invest in a day for you away from your business to network with like-minded business women. We invite you to a day in the peaks to rest, re-set, re-focus and fall in love with your business again.
Your business and relationships depend on you being well - mind, body, and soul. For one day, take some time out to slow down, get away from ‘the juggle’, take a deep breath and focus. Choose you!
We’ve created a safe space with a group of women to look at your gnarly problem of the day and help you think creatively, get proactive and dream big again. The day will leave you feeling empowered and in control.
Take part in two masterclasses designed to help you and your business move forwards. You’ll have time to brain dump, think, and plan in the afternoon so you can leave with a plan of action for Q4.
Being a senior leader or owner in a business is a tough, lonely place. We all need space to regroup and remember why we got started. Come away with us for a day, and fall in love with your business again.

We are two former PE teachers-turned-Entrepreneurs. We taught together in London 17 years ago and it was love at first sight. Well, a deep abiding friendship. Lynsey is Northern and Antoinette (being from the South) forgives her for that.
Lynsey, the Founder of Fit4Social, is a marketing and social media strategist, working with award-winning business owners and has been helping businesses become more visible for the last 6 years. She has 3 ankle biters, an Ultraman husband, and 2 fish. To re-energise, she enjoys giggles with good friends, all food and any wine plus as many adventures as she can squeeze into the diary, especially if they involve skiing and diving deep seas.
Antoinette, the Founder of Just Helpers, grew her cleaning business from £10 to over £1 million turnover in 8 years. She is in the process of birthing 2 more businesses (and these feel like unwieldy children) and often wonders who the heck would be a business owner! Antoinette loves nothing better than carving out time to sit in her favourite chair which looks out to the sea, where she loves to watch the world go by, glass of wine in hand.
Lynsey’s story is of being overwhelmed after the pressure of lockdowns, home schooling, and feeling lonely building her business alone. Lynsey says, Antoinette had always been a ray of light in her life, and Antoinette was quite rightly worried about her. Through sitting down together they were able to unpack the mess of thoughts and put them down in a step-by-step, systematic, and realistic plan. Through sharing this gnarly problem, and creating a kick-ass plan of action, a massive weight was lifted from Lynsey. She could clearly see to move herself and her business forward for the next few months and beyond.
More than that though, the brainstorming had restored her positive outlook. She was back in control! Antoinette reflected afterwards on this session and realised that this session was the highlight of her week, month and possibly year! Her business brain coupled with empathetic listening skills and planning ignited an idea in her brain. Together, as they reviewed this time, they realised there are many capable women in their position all needing a listening ear, guidance, a realistic and bespoke plan and a tribe of supporters cheering them on.
Thus, EntrePLANeurs was born.
We’re straight shooters and not afraid of tough love conversations but are also each others biggest cheerleaders. This combination is fun, motivating, supportive and achieves results.
We’re here to give you the 30 years of knowledge, experience and tools around purposeful planning we WISHED we could have found when we were first growing our businesses, like how using a skills/fun matrix can help you decide what needs to be outsourced and then how to make a plan to earn enough money to hire in that help so that your business growth can be accelerated.
Sound familiar? We are here to help!
Yes, while we love the dynamic of a mixed gender group, we know that there is something special and freeing when those who identify as female get together in a space. Future events may be opened to a mixed group. Watch this space!
The limit of on the day will be 10-15 women. We’ve found that anything more decreases the opportunities to get to know the majority of people in the room.
There is plenty of parking on site
While the downstairs area is, our meetig room is located on the first floor, which is not acceessible by a lift
