Ready to stop hiding, quit doubting yourself, step away from doing every damn thing in your business and become the ONLY person your ideal clients wants to work with?
You just need someone to show you how, plus support you in a loving but tough love way to make sure you follow-through.
This whole business thing was supposed to be so much easier right?
When I started my business as a side hustle back in 2015, I was working 4 days a week in a senior corporate job in the city (yes I was still commuting).
I had 2 kids under the age of 5. They were 15 months apart. I was renovating our house. Like the whole house, not just the bathroom.
And I was coming home, cooking dinner, spending time with the kids and then once they went to sleep I would work at the dining room table building my business.
So if you ever feel like you don't have time - I get it...like I really do get it.
But what I did do, is that over the next 2 years I built a multi-six figure business in 2-3 days a week and worked out the key things that I need to focus on to do that.
So I decided I didn’t want any other woman in business to have to lean on Google as their number one source of information, test things out through trial and error, and make 21,002 wrong moves before finding the right one…
Which is exactly why I’ve spent the last 8 years coaching women to build bigger, better, more sustainable businesses (and over 15 years mentoring women to own their worth and ask for what they want!).
And you know what?
I see the same issues coming up again and again which is why I built BBA.
Hey I'm Suz Chadwick
So many women have killer skills, knowledge and experience to share… but feel totally stuck in the rut of not knowing how to scale.
Play bigger in your business, be more confident, and get clearer on what it is you want to be known for
Run your business like an actual business — with structure, strategies and systems that will allow you to scale and grow
Stop (endlessly) tinkering, second guessing yourself and faffing about... and nail your business foundations so you can build something solid instead
Put a stop to the “what if…?” feeling “I’ll do it when…”
Get your pricing and packaging sorted, once and for all
Create a brand that attracts the right clients for you
Feel empowered to own the direction your business is going in
Be surrounded by an amazing group of supportive women who are in the same boat as you (and understand exactly what you’re going through)
Have a clear understanding of anything that has been holding you back and how you can actively overcome those barriers
Be building your business confidence in a big way and showing up more
Have a clear core message, understand where you're positioning yourself in the market and a neon sign that attracts the clients you want.
A defined business, brand, marketing and content strategy
A clear brand and customer experience path
Be clear on what you want to be known for (and no, it's not just what you do!)
Have the right products, services and pricing to create a profitable business that delivers great value to your clients
Have a website and message that makes it easy for your customers to understand who you are, what you do and if you're for them.
Step up as the CEO in your business with confidence, understand how to set strong boundaries, manage your finances and you'll have a strong vision for where your business is going.
This year we decided to invest in and join bba, which HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE!
Within weeks of joining BBA we tripled our profits! And we have been booked out for months in advance ever since. What we will achieve in the future is truly exciting. We feel this is the best course we've ever done, along with the best community we've been part of and we feel incredible grateful that we came across Suz Chadwick!

I had been in business for 5 years and had been looking for a coach.
When I saw Suz speak an event, I pretty much got online the next day and joined BBA. I loved everything she had to say and I'm so glad that I signed up! Spending the time and energy to work on scaling your business is so important and having someone like Suz to show you how is invaluable.
Within months of joining BBA I have changed my business structure, taken a lot of my content online and made $13,000 in my first launch and sold out my 2nd launch too. I can't believe how much money I had coming into my business in one go. BBA is the best investment I've made in my business and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Since joining BBA I increased my pricing, instead of pricing in line with my competition, to the value that I believe I’m worth
And guess what, it’s attracted more of the clients I want. I also restructured my packages instead of charging hourly including a VIP option which is exciting and my most preferred way of working. I’ve also engaged someone to help with my brand style to get some more consistency across the socials and for when I want to expand. So thank you Suzanne and BBA, I wouldn’t have had the knowledge and motivation without you 🤗

I asked some of my current BBA students what some of their reservations where and this is what they said:
I've done a lot of courses why is this different?
Once they had been through the course, I asked them what the answer to those questions is and I loved their answers!
“It's so much more than I could have imagined. There is so much detail and it's the things that I've been trying to work out on my own about what makes a successful business. The things you teach in BBA are not things that other courses cover. It's totally changed the way I run my business, I see myself in my business and how I share what I have with more confidence.”
All of the content is accessible via your member portal — from video modules with key actions and tasks for you to implement to worksheets so that you can track and work through what you need to.
Throughout the course we’ll be connecting in the HeartBeat community, working through the content together, talking about what you’re going through and seeing how we can help.
Together we’ll help you stay accountable so that you get the most out of the course and don’t lose your momentum.
After purchasing, you’ll immediately be able to join our HeartBeat community, so that you can start getting to know your BBA buddies straight away!
Then once the course begins, you’ll get access to Module 1. From then on, you’ll get an email every week with access to a new module (released Monday mornings at 9am).
Although I’ve designed BBA for maximum impact, what you get out of it is totally up to you.
The women I’ve worked with who have done the work, dug deep to get really honest about what’s holding them back and then stepped into their worth, have experienced the results of that.
So it’s your call – if you’re willing to do the work then we’re here to help you get the results that are right for you. How quickly you start moving your business and yourself forward is also different for everyone. Some people will see results quickly, whereas it may be a slow burn for others.
Whether you’re starting out or you’ve been in business for a while, this course can help you to uplevel at each stage. Infact, previous BBA students often find themselves revisiting the course each time they want to move forward in their business.
You may be starting out, you may have a successful business, or you may be somewhere in between…
But the question is: are you giving it your all or are you holding back – even a bit? We all go through ups and downs and this course is here to support you to continue to play a big game (whatever that means for where you are in your business).
So the answer is yes, no matter where you are in business, this is for you.
Yes all live round coaching calls and monthly coaching calls are with Suz (unless an unforsee circumstance occurs). You add your questions to the coaching questions doc and Suz works through each question individually in each coaching call so that you get the specific help you need.
If you need additional coaching (mindset or brainstorming) then that's what will happen on the call as well.

Is BBA really only eight weeks? I feel like in a very short space of time I've cleared away so much baggage and confusion and have so much clarity! I never would have come this far and so quickly trying to do it solo.
In BBA Suz makes you feel like you're her priority. She is invested, supportive and makes space for you to apply the learnings to your business and what you need. BBA combines the motivation and community of group coaching with the impact and accountability of 1:1.
I felt stuck in my business of 6 years, I just couldn’t pin down where to go next. Working through the modules, along with Suz’s laser sharp input, I gained a fresh perspective. I haven’t felt this clear and excited about my direction for a while. Whether you’re starting out, or you’re well on your way in your business journey, you will find so much value in BBA.

Suz has helped me delve into every hidden corner of my business and structure, prune and shape it for growth. I can’t wait to see where it takes me next!
I joined BBA because I love having my own business, but it is hard to keep showing up, make all the decisions alone, and stay accountable like so many of us. I needed support, guidance and someone to lead me through it and tell me I was on the right track or wasn’t missing something obvious. I’ve never worked with a business coach and wasn’t sure how to find the right fit, so group coaching was ideal for me.
First up, the course content and structure is top-level, leading you through every stage clearly and concisely, with plenty of worksheets and templates to work on your business each week.
The community is priceless, a group of fellow go-getters juggling life but striving for success without cutting corners. They are an awe-inspiring bunch, and the coaching calls were pure gold.
My biggest takeaways were mindset shift and nailing my business and brand strategy with some expert bespoke advice. I’m already planning my scale-up for BBA in February 2022 and beyond. It’s a beautiful place, and I feel lucky to have found it and privileged to be part of this community.
