We’ve made the decision to close Success HQ. And actually, one of the biggest reasons is pretty simple: it hasn’t become the active community we wanted it to be and we need to put our energy somewhere else. There are some brilliant people in here, but over time we’ve found ourselves continuing to create content and put energy into a space that, for most members, wasn’t really being used. We could keep trying different things to increase engagement, but that would be keeping Success HQ going because we created it, rather than because it’s genuinely serving people. And that doesn’t make much sense. Our business is evolving too. We’re clearer about the businesses we most want to work with and the conversations we want to be having, particularly around experience-led businesses and what it takes to create an exceptional experience through Brand, People and Operations. So rather than trying to turn Success HQ into something it was never designed to be, we’re closing this chapter and giving ourselves space to think differently about what comes next. Our paid members have already been contacted separately and we’ve made arrangements so they can continue working with us outside of Skool. For everyone else who has joined us, read a POWERUP, watched something, commented, asked a question or simply lurked in the background — thank you for being here. We’ve learned a lot from Success HQ. Including knowing when it’s time to stop doing something. We firmly believe that Success is a Team Sport. Find your team, they are out there. If you still want it to be us, stay in touch via Linkedin. Jenny & Matt

I'm a big believer in "Success is a team sport" - love that message! I help founders, coaches & SME leaders get qualified appointments/clients organically through Facebook & LinkedIn (without paid ads). We’ve built a system that turns organic conversations into real business growth, without the founder having to figure out outreach alone. I joined here because I’m on a mission to grow faster, think bigger, and connect with like-minded business owners who get that you can’t scale alone. Would love to connect with fellow founders here what business are you growing right now? Excited to learn and contribute! 🚀

We’ve just added a brand new free course to the Classroom. It is built around one of the biggest problems we see in ambitious businesses: You start the quarter with good intentions, clear priorities and a plan. Then the business gets louder. Customers need things. Problems become urgent. New opportunities appear. The diary fills. And somewhere in the middle of all that activity, the work that was supposed to move the business forward starts getting pushed behind whatever feels most immediate. That is the Drift Cycle™. The new course takes you through the thinking behind FutureLAB™ step by step. Inside you’ll get: - a short introduction to why FutureLAB exists - the full 90-Day PowerUP™ Masterclass - the chance to diagnose where drift may be happening in your own business - the route into the next live FutureLAB™ 90-Day Planning + Activation Workshop The big idea is simple: A plan can tell you what to do. It cannot make you do it. That is why FutureLAB brings together commercial strategy and human activation. Because knowing what matters and actually making it happen are two different problems. The course is now live in the Classroom and completely free for the community. If the last 90 days did not quite become what you intended, start there. Then ask yourself: What do I want the next 90 days to be for? 👉 Head to the Classroom and open STOP DRIFTING: THE FUTURELAB™ MASTERCLASS

Quick one. we are running a free session tomorrow on how to make the next 90 days of 2026 actually count, rather than letting the rest of the year disappear into meetings, firefighting and “we’ll pick this up in January”. We think you’d genuinely get something from it, so I wanted to send you the link personally rather than just hope you see the marketing https://www.qbranch.consulting/future-lab-90-day-business-planning-workshop/masterclass And if you want to go a bit deeper, we’re also running our quarterly FutureLAB this Thursday from 10am, both in-person and online. That’s much more hands-on stepping back from the noise, getting clear on the next 90 days and actually building the plan together.. https://www.qbranch.consulting/future-lab-90-day-business-planning-workshop No hard sell at all, just thought both might be useful to you, and I’d rather invite the right people directly!

Try a slightly odd thought experiment. Imagine every price disappeared from your business. A customer lands on your website, speaks to your team, receives your proposal, visits your premises, sees your packaging and experiences your sales process. Then we ask them: “Do you expect this business to be cheap, mid-market or expensive?” What would they say? More importantly: What gave them that impression? Because customers start forming a price expectation long before they see the actual number. Language. Design. Speed. Confidence. Proof. How you present choices. How easy you are to deal with. Whether everything feels considered or cobbled together. The question isn’t “How do I make myself look expensive?” It’s: Does the experience around my price support the price I’m asking people to pay? That’s worth looking at before assuming the answer to better margins is simply changing the number.
