stop

It’s time to stop winging it and learn how to do it the easy way

It’s time to stop winging it in your business and making it up as you go along. This approach may have been a good starting point and helped you to where you are today, however, this mindset will not provide you and your family with financial security and that quality time to enjoy your success.

Does this sound like you?

Business feels a lonely place and sometimes struggle to stay motivated

Actively trying to grow your business but are left feeling frustrated

Working too many hours and not having time for you or your family

Have cash flow problems that are stopping you from growing

Spending time and money on marketing that’s not generating leads

Not making enough profit and don’t have the lifestyle you want

Making profit on some products / services and losing on others

Can’t find trustworthy and reliable members of staff

Struggling to meet the right contacts who can open new doors

yes

THIS IS ME & I NEED SOME HELP

Then apply before time runs out

BUSINESS & LIFE IS GREAT

Brilliant, keep up the good work!

I've decided to write this review for 1 big reason 'support through COVID-19'. As a successful business owner who prides himself on the very highest standards, I've been extremely impressed with the whole EBA package. COVID-19 fundamentally changed how the EBA operates. Craig and his dedicated team have stepped up and re-imagined the delivery to ensure the membership is well looked after at this time. A big well done from Chris @ Swink.

Matthew Richardson

20:48 02 Mar 20

The EBA is an excellent source of help advice and other like minded business owners all striving to push each other on to greater things. My business and personal mindset have changed drastically thanks to the EBA and I don't think you would find anything like it anywhere else.

An amazing place to learn and develop new business and personal skills.A must join for anybody who hasn't reached their full potential.Craig and the team will give you a life changing nudge in the right direction.

The Video Creators Academy Course was last week and it was great ...So much learnt and so much action that needs to be taken.I'd highly recommend this course to anyone that is serious about upping their game.

Rose Services

The best place to be if you want grow your business it’s as simple as that. The business coaching that Craig delivers at the events is second to none and Emily does a fantastic job at making it all happen! Everyone who attends is fantastic, a great bunch of business owners all looking to help each other out any way they can. I’ve just completed a spin of course Craig does the video and podcast creators course which again was unreal, if you wanna promote your business through video then get on this ASAP! So I’d just like to say thank you to Craig for inspiring me to be the best, Emily for making this possible for us all and all the team who take time from their lives to help with peoples dreams.

The EBA is a great community of supportive like-minded business owners.The networking and business coaching events are fantastic! Great useful content that helps your grow both personally and in business.Would highly recommend to all business oweners

The EBA has had a huge positive impact on both my business and me personally. A large group of positive business owners who meet monthly for networking, building relationships and business coaching. I have recently joined the Inner Circle coaching programme and am excited to see how this drives my business forward. This is a really excellent, well managed group, perfect for any business owner with a want to better themselves

Donna Danielle Swift-Moore

17:56 20 Oct 19

The EBA is a superb business community.The knowledge and coaching that’s delivered at the monthly events and online via podcasts and the youtube channel is outstanding.Since joining the EBA it’s helped me change my personal mindset to further my business in the right direction.I’ve also attended the business planning masterclass which was phenomenal and from this I’ve now created a 90 day and 12 month business plan.I highly recommend The Elite Business Academy to any business owner.

Claire Roberts

17:41 20 Oct 19

A fantastic hybrid of business coaching and networking with a great bunch of people. What better way could there be to grow your business through what you learn and who you meet! If you haven’t experienced it for yourself you should definitely go along for a visit.

The Elite Business Academy is a multi-offer business coaching and entrepreneur development organisation, of which I am proud to be an active member on several levels. Anyone and everyone can access a fair degree of its resources for free online. The standard 'to pay for' level of involvement is 'The Elite Circle' which is effectively a one-full day a month group coaching and networking event. The yearly fee for what you get is just off the charts good value and I'd say there would have to be something fundamentally wrong with any business in the first place if they didn't recoup their membership fee many, many times over by the year end of their first year's membership. The best thing is there is a try once before you buy option whereby you can go a guest.I've also joined the next level up, the Inner Circle. This is by no means cheap, it comes with a pretty big price tag if I'm honest. But I would not have made that commitment if I didn't have 100% faith in the process, and most of all the team behind it - EBA founder Craig, working in tandem with Mark Chatterton who are just powerhouses and never fail to deliver.The EBA is a truly unique approach to business coaching and networking, I've experienced nothing quite like it in the last 30 years of being in a business environment. Just excellent.

Kat Derbyshire

12:15 19 Oct 19

After being an EBA member for the last few months, I have really benefited from giving up one day a month from my business to attend. The great mix of networking and business coaching is excellent - every month I come away having made new contacts, feeling motivated and with great ideas to implement in my business on the back of Craig’s sessions.

Leigh Purdy

10:17 19 Oct 19

An incredible environment to network with over 80 business owners each month. Brilliant first class coaching and an unbelievable experience for all business owners.If you are a business owner you would be a fool not to attend!

Andy Frith

09:43 19 Oct 19

Fantastic coaching & motivation by the EBA if you’re in business at no matter what level this is for you!! You’re made to feel so welcome not only by Craig, Emily & the team but also by the many members, I myself have been a member now for 4 months & ive also done the business planning masterclass which is mind blowing, there’s no jargon everything is broken down into easy to digest chunks and help & advice is always available I wish I’d of discovered the EBA years ago

Harry Purewal

09:36 19 Oct 19

An incredibly supportive networking event with a difference. Once a month for a full day there’s networking in very well attended events with like minded business owners, with a focus on development and learning. Delivered in Craig’s straight talking style it’s no nonsense, full of value practical help to focus your business. Motivates me every month! The Facebook group is the most respectful & interactive I’ve ever seen and the WhatsApp groups for members mean that relationships and referrals continue to build outside the events. Highly recommend!

Andrew Hall

09:14 19 Oct 19

Absolutely love this event. Great people, great coaching from Craig and all organised amazingly by Emily. I'd recommend any business owner to attend this event

Eleanor Oates

14:33 04 Sep 19

I became a member of the Elite Business Academy in April 2019 and have benefited greatly from Craig's coaching and business advice. The comradeship with fellow members is also a great help and I have learned a lot in a short period of time. Would highly recommend becoming a member of this Academy.

John Lawson

13:47 03 Sep 19

It is undoubtedly the best event that I have ever attended and is great value as in addition to networking with 80+ positive and ambitious business owners you will also receive at least one coaching session from an eminent business coach (Craig Wilkinson) and if not a second session then you will listen to a guest speaker and also get your lunch.Well worth visiting and I highly recommend ?

Clare Froggatt

11:15 22 Jul 19

Joining the EBA is one of the best decisions I have ever made. EBA day is my favourite day of the month and I have learned so much. I have listened to all the podcasts and regularly revisit them. I would recommend any business owner come to a meeting and join the community. It is like nothing else out there.

Jason McGlone

17:38 11 Jul 19

I joined the EBA earlier this year and it has certainly been an eye opener to my business which has changed in several ways for the better.Fantastic group of people who are friendly and helpful even if they are in the same type of business as others. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ?

?Craig has been a inspiration to me since 2016 after watching him grow his brand on social media. In late March 2019 I eventually plucked up courage and contacted him for help in personal life and business.⏰I’m now 3.5 months into my journey and in such a short space of time my life has flipped upside down.?‍?‍?‍?My family life has benefited massively from my new found personal mindset and I’m already pushing boundaries in my business.Watch this space✅

Dawn Brown

11:59 06 Jul 19

I wanted knowledge on how to run a business and make it run successfully without me in it in order to get my precious time back! I joined the EBA in January and by February I had joined the inner circle! I was overwhelmed by the depth of knowledge and honesty of the founder and genuinely felt hungry to learn more! I want change, growth, and financial reward and the inner circle programme is already giving me this 3 months in! This is like no other networking group I have ever been to the members are a fantastic group of professionals who really do want each other to succeed there is a great sense of belonging! Anyone wanting to take their business to the next level look no further! Give it a go I did and I haven't looked back!!

Adam Setterington

18:39 05 Jul 19

Craig who is leading this organisation is an inspiration to potential business owners and fully fledged business owners around the country and quite possibly the world! His persona is infectious and i believe that he would be a great mentor for anyone in business. I have not had the pleasure with dealing with Craig much personally, however from what i have seen and listen to, he really is passionate and and actually wants to help people in life. I cant wait to get more involved and deeper into the possibilities of what the EBA has to offer! So thank you Craig and everybody that is involved for giving me the chance to really make something of myself!

18:07 04 Jul 19

Although I’ve not been a member of the EBA for long, the knowledge & advice I’ve received so far is priceless I’m really looking forward to see how far I can go with the help of the EBA & it’s members ??

christian watson

12:39 04 Jul 19

I am a fairly new member but the information and guidance I have already taken away from attending is amazing. It has pushed me in the right direction with my business and I am already seeing massive changes I can not wait to see what is to come.

Neal Baker

20:42 12 Jun 19

I’m in one of Craig and Marks inner circle groups that he teaches on a monthly basis and it’s added so much value to my business. Every month we cover a different topic and every month I go away with a whole bunch of lessons and tasks to do. The content is delivered in a way that excites and inspires me to get it done rather than overwhelms. Craig and Mark get the balance right between not taking any excuses for lack of action but also encouraging us and offering support. Thanks guys!

Craig Cattle

22:17 18 May 19

EBA was recommended by a friend, on my first event I was welcomed and loved every minute, the team are brilliant, everybody just want to help each other. I've met so many friends and I cannot thank the EBA enough. My advice is give it a go, if you want to grow your business, learn some brilliant things and meet some great people, the EBA is defo for you!

Iv been following the Elite Business Academy on Facebook for 6 months and have been a member for 3 months. So far it has changed most of my thoughts about my business and business in general. It’s given me a clear vision of what I want my business to do for me and and how to achieve it, using the best strategy's that suit me and my business. It would take me countless hours trying to find this online and cost more money via my time. even if I knew what I was looking for!! Then there is the members community full of genuine people that are so helpful to everyone that’s got a question about anything.Then there is the networking each month with 75 - 90 business owners all wanting the best for there business as fast as possible and no one gets left behind.I’m afraid I just can’t accurately describe the value that I’m experiencing.

Marc Beardsley

I recently rejoined the EBA elite circle and i am on the inner circle coaching programme. Both are top and hard to find anything better!

18:41 26 Feb 19

I joined EBA elite circle this month and already smashing my way thru a 90 day action plan part 1 of the 12 month master plan! Great content in every session, excellent coach fab networking and because I'm dedicated to building my business and my knowledge I've just been accepted to the inner circle! Thoroughly enjoying seeing my business from a different perspective enabling me to shift my mindset and take action towards growing my business. In your eyes no one can do your job as good as you but, a great coach can guide support & push you to be a better you opening your eyes to a whole new world for me this is priceless!!

Craig Dinnewell

22:44 07 Feb 19

I have been a member of the EBA for little over a month and the value the sessions have brought to my business already are incredible.This is more than just a networking group it is a necessary tool for you business.I recently attended the Business Planning Masterclass as I felt I needed the direction within my business - The content of the day blew my mind and I have come away from the day with new found energy and direction as well as the self belief I can smash it and grow my business to the vision I had at the start.A special mention must go to Craig Wilkinson, his passion and drive to helping others grow their business is second to none and I will be forever grateful when the plans I am putting in to place pay off and me and business reap the rewards! This is a must for any business owner no matter what stage of your journey you are on

I have been a member of the Elite Business Academy for about five months. Craig and the team are really good at helping businesses take action to improve. The main difference with Craig methods is that he concentrates on the practical things that are proven to work, so you can get results fast. Rather than trying to interpret a load of theory. An example of this is that every visitor to an EBA event gets a straightforward checklist on how to improve their website to make it work harder and a list of really useful business tools that are tried and tested. Every month there is loads of no BS content and coaching to help improve business. Thank you Craig and the EBA for all the hard work you put in.

Recently joined The Elite Business Academy as i wanted to broaden my knowledge base of how to be successful in business. The Business coaching side gives me so much inspiration and motivation I always leave the Networking days with a smile on my face and a desire to get stuck in . I also believe that to be successful in business you have to increase your positive mindset and the personal coaching is helping me to achieve this. Craig, Emily and all the Team are a true inspiration, we have fun whilst learning which is the best way !. So if you are sat on the fence it is well worth attending as a guest to find out more you will not be disappointed.

I had a fantastic day on the Business Planning Masterclass.I walked in with 14 other Business Owners seeking knowledge, guidance and structure for my Business. Upon completing the Masterclass, we all walked out with something we didn't previously have.....a BUSINESS PLAN! Thank you Craig Wilkinson and the EBA team.

David Haigh

18:48 03 Oct 18

Just a quick review to say a massive thank you to Craig and the team at the Elite Business Academy!During the 3+ years I have been member, I have seen a marked improvement in the growth of my business and by continually taking on board the great advice given, and by also leaning on the other members for support, I am confident that I will achieve my business goals in the coming months and years. The EBA works on so many levels, whether it is the great networking, sound business coaching or just a big boost to your own personal development, I can honestly say I am in a better place now than I was when I joined in 2015.

We have been with the EBA fro over 3 years now. We have benefited several fold from being a member. Initially we entered to win more business through the other members and their contacts but more so now benefit from the diverse advice and training that they provide.Like with anything worthwhile though we've had to put the advice and training into practice. This can be intimidating but when its broken down into logical and constituents parts it becomes manageable and ultimately achievable!A big thank you to Craig and the team...If you don't try you'll never know!

Judy Parsons

13:16 02 Oct 18

I recently joined the EBA and have already had some very thought provoking and sage business advice. Plus there is a real community spirit within the EBA which I find is really supportive. The membership starts with a new member success event giving you a great start to making the most of your membership. Looking forward to the year ahead.
