FRANCHISEFOCUS Billy set targets for year one, aiming to get 21
clients. With the support of his wife, Fiona, and Kaley, the firm started to see results quite quickly. When COVID-19 sent the world into panic mode, Billy took it as an opportunity for him rather than a threat.
"I wondered how could I help SMEs harness the same power and influence as large corporations? I look back on that as a sort of epiphany"

Billy plans to add easily affordable ActionCOACH programmes such as BookCLUB and GrowthCLUB to extend the reach of his business and life-changing work.
Finding the right franchise Before ActionCOACH, Billy always had a passion for helping people – whether it was working individually with employees or in management teams. For over 20 years, he worked extensively with various members within the teams, proving pivotal in their development. “Over time, I witnessed the extent to which
larger companies command power and influence, giving them many more opportunities than smaller businesses. I began to wonder how I could help SMEs harness that same power and influence – I actually look back on that as a sort of epiphany.” In December 2018, Billy discovered

Some required help to deal with the acceleration of their business, others needed support with how to best utilise their downtime – I was confident I could help them all.” In less than a year, Billy has established an
enviable work-life balance a far cry from his previous career. Gone are the days he would spend his time commuting, flying abroad and staying away from home for long periods – now his weekends are a strictly work-free zone. “The freedom that comes with being my own boss and being able to reap the benefits of my work entirely exceeds any sense of career satisfaction I’ve had before.”
