Wallbreaker’s Breakthrough

Seeking Support using Business Lincolnshire’s Expertise

Ash had known Toni Coupland, a fully-funded business adviser from Business Lincolnshire, for several years and had regularly turned to her for advice. Over time, Toni had directed Wallbreaker to valuable services, including external grants, which have helped them update their website and purchase new equipment. So, when Toni suggested the Scale Up Programme, Ash saw it as the perfect opportunity to focus on improving his communication and leadership skills. Toni recognised the potential in Wallbreaker and understood that the Scale Up Programme would provide Ash with the structure and guidance necessary to turn his ideas into actionable plans, enabling the business to scale effectively.

New Tools and Confidence

Initially hesitant about stepping away from day-to-day operations, Ash quickly realised the impact the Scale Up Programme could have on his business. What began as reluctance turned into a breakthrough. One of the most impactful strategies he learned was to structure his day into 90-minute blocks. This simple yet effective change has significantly boosted his productivity, allowing him to stay focused and achieve more in less time.

A key resource recommended during the programme was the book The Miracle Morning, which Ash now incorporates into his daily routine. This structured approach not only sets a positive tone for the day but also helps him remain resilient when faced with challenges. By starting each morning working on the business rather than just in it, Ash has seen immediate and substantial improvements in both his efficiency and overall mindset.

In addition, Wallbreaker has adopted DISC profiling to strengthen communication and accountability within the team. Although still in the early stages of rolling it out across the business, the initiative is already creating a more cohesive and transparent work environment, with noticeable improvements in team dynamics and collaboration.
