WHO I HELP AND WHY IT MATTERS

I help experts like you build a business that sets you free.


If you’re a coach, consultant, or trainer, chances are you’re incredible at what you do—but stuck exchanging hours for impact.


You’ve hit your ceiling. You’re tired of the hustle. You’re ready to scale.

That’s where I come in.


I help you build a structure that grows with you, not drains you.

Together, we’ll take what’s in your head and turn it into a business model that delivers income, impact, and time freedom.

THE CREDENTIALS, THE STRATEGY, THE WORK

I’ve done the corporate grind. Built the brands. Run the numbers.


My path wasn’t typical, but it gave me everything I needed to lead with purpose.

🟣 I led teams at McDonald’s in my teens—learning what it really means to manage people
🟣 I worked at Siemens, shipping turbine engines worldwide—logistics, deadlines, pressure? I’ve lived it
🟣 I developed products in the retail and marketing world
🟣 I co-own a property development company
🟣 And I’ve helped dozens of training businesses scale their offers and shift to online models that actually work

I know how to simplify the complex. I blend strategy with system-building, and I’m not afraid to challenge you when it’s needed.

Because surface-level marketing won’t cut it anymore—and neither will waiting.

THE MISSION BEHIND THE WORK

This isn’t just about scaling—it’s about redefining success.


I started this business because I saw too many brilliant people burning out.


Saying yes to everyone. Following “shoulds.” Chasing validation instead of creating impact.

Not anymore.

At Forward Business Solutions, we build businesses with intention.

 

That means:

  • Structure that frees you instead of stifles you

  • Offers that scale and serve

  • Funnels that do the heavy lifting

  • Tools that create space—not just systems

And when we do it right? You lead. You inspire. You grow—with grit and grace.

WHY I REALLY DO THIS

Hi, I’m Steph—founder, strategist, wife, and mum to a brilliant 3-year-old.


I know what it’s like to look like you’ve got it all together—but feel like something’s missing.

I spent years people-pleasing, stuck in a version of success that wasn’t mine.


The shift came when I stopped apologising for wanting more and started building a life I could be proud of—one that was aligned with my values, not someone else’s opinion.

Now, I advocate for people building their own path, especially those who don’t get enough support—like the sex worker community I’m proudly connected with.


Because everyone deserves access to the tools that create freedom, no matter their background.

And I want my son to grow up knowing that kindness and courage can change the world—and that his mum did something that mattered.

→ Ready to move your business (and life) forward? Let’s build something together.
