Welcome to Business Duck Herding!

Are your business ducks wandering off in all directions?  Do you find yourself chasing tasks, juggling priorities, and constantly feeling like you’re one step behind? Maybe you’re a sole trader whose to-do list never gets shorter, or a small business owner who sometimes wonders if the dream of running your own show is drifting farther away amid daily chaos.

I’m Andy Guile, the Business Duck Herder, and my mission is to help you bring order, clarity, and confidence to your business journey. With my unique approach to one-to-one coaching, I help sole traders and small business owners like you round up the unruly ducks of your business and get them marching in a purposeful, profitable row.

Why "Business Duck Herder"?

Let’s face it: running a business isn’t always a graceful glide across a calm pond. More often, it’s a flurry of feathers and flapping wings—one duck chasing opportunities, another squabbling over invoices, a third lost in a spreadsheet, and a fourth fixated on social media.
The “Business Duck Herder” isn’t just a quirky title; it’s a philosophy that acknowledges the reality of running a business while injecting some much-needed fun and creativity into the process. I believe that every business, no matter the size, has its own flock of ducks—tasks, systems, goals, and people—that need to be gently guided, supported, and occasionally nudged to stay on course.
 
My coaching style is down-to-earth yet strategic, playful but purposeful, and always tailored to your unique needs.

What I Offer:

 One to One Coaching with Real Results As your Business Duck Herder, my core service is one-to-one coaching for sole traders and small business owners. Here’s how I can help you get your ducks in a row:
•Business Clarity Sessions: Together, we’ll take a step back and look at the big pond. What are your goals? Where are the gaps? Which ducks need the most attention?

•Strategy & Planning: We’ll create a step-by-step roadmap, breaking your ambitions down into achievable milestones—no more waddling in circles. •Accountability & Motivation: I’m here to cheer you on, keep you focused, and gently quack when you veer off track. Regular check-ins ensure progress, not procrastination.
 
•Confidence Building: Sometimes, all you need is someone to remind you that you really can do this. I’ll help you rediscover your strengths, celebrate your wins, and approach obstacles with a duck’s resilience.

 •Troubleshooting & Problem Solving: Got a stubborn issue that just won’t budge? I bring fresh eyes, creative thinking, and practical solutions—no duck left behind! Who I Help

My Approach

 Every coaching relationship begins with a conversation. I take the time to listen, learn about your business, and understand your aspirations. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution—each coaching programme is designed around you, your challenges, and your goals.

 My sessions are:
 •Practical: Action steps you can implement right away
•Non-judgemental: A safe space to share concerns, big ideas, and everything in between

Working with Andy has taken our business to the next level. We had never worked with a business coach before, so were wary and sceptical at first. Regular meetings really helped focus on the progress we were making and challenged us to try approaches we might not have considered. We highly recomend Andys approachable , informal and practical coaching style
