I’m Libby Langley, and I’m known as a straight-talking person who helps you get things done!
I consider myself very fortunate to have spent the last 12 years working with some really cool business owners (and thankfully very few knobheads), who have big dreams of what they want life to look like, but need some practical strategies and support to get there.
I’m passionate about simplicity and ease (I literally wrote a book on it!), and about integrity, honesty and fun. Because what’s the point of having a business if you’re not enjoying it?!
In 2021 I began to wonder if I had ADHD, and in 2023 I was diagnosed with Autism. These two facets give me a wonderful ability to be able to offer sometimes left-field solutions to problems that may be surprising but are simple and effective, and to support others who suspect they may have, or know they have ADHD or Autism, and all the issues and the added head-f***ery that brings!
I live on the edge of the Peak District, with my gorgeous husband and octogenarian cat.
I have a few interests that I could happily chat about for hours: hiking and gardening; cats v dogs (cats, always!); and fine dining (especially Michelin-starred restaurants).
My big passion in life is business, and seeing opportunities for efficiency and profitability. Whatever's the easiest way to achieve something, that's the route I'll take!

After years of working in marketing in the public and private sectors, I walked away to create a new life as a business owner.
I gave up a great pension, excellent salary, and 35 days’ (plus bank hols!) annual leave because I was unhappy.
I started my journey into the world of self-employment and in month one, I invoiced a whopping £127; and I have never been more proud of anything. It was a whirlwind of clients from that day on!
I believe in the power of professional development, and having got numerous management and teaching qualifications, and an MBA, under my belt, I started learning for fun!
This has taken me to San Diego eight times (so far!) for Social Media Marketing World, and Traffic & Conversion; Cleveland, Ohio, for Content Marketing World; and Las Vegas for an incredible experience learning about customer service at Zappos, as well as several UK-based masterminds.
Not content with delivering training and coaching to hundreds of business owners, I organised a Social Media Awards event to recognise some of the most inspiring achievements in the business world.
Over 100 people attended, with awards handed out by businesswoman extraordinaire, Rosemary Conley.
One of the winners went on to receive investment on BBC Dragons' Den, and I am proud to say I was able to support him on his journey to success.
I had a successful business with a team of five, but I realised I was building a job for myself, not a business that gave me the freedom and flexibility I wanted.
I made the incredibly tough decision to make my staff redundant, and make a fresh start as a strategist, coach and mentor, working the days and hours that suited me.
This was a challenging year, but the decisions I made taught me a lot about resilience, the importance of goals that really matter, and why happiness comes first.
Having spent a couple of years working out exactly what direction I wanted to go in, by 2017 my business was flying.
I was the most profitable I had ever been, speaking at local and national events, and providing strategic business and marketing consultancy to SMEs.
Focusing on what I wanted gave me the freedom and joy I had craved since day one!
Like many business owners, I needed to pivot and fast! I already worked online with international clients, but face-to-face work was still a big chunk of my income, and this obviously disappeared overnight.
And so, with a week or two, I launched a completely new online coaching programme, covering marketing, business strategy, and mindset.
Quick thinking and a desire to succeed got me through a potential crisis, with a healthy profit behind me.
Coming out of the pandemic I closed my group programme and went all in on my first love: working 1:1 with clients to get clarity, purpose and direction on their business.
Practical strategy and action get me really excited (yes, really!) and this is how I support my clients to grow their businesses on their own terms.
My podcast was launched in December 2022, and my book was published in 2023, both to rave 5* reviews.
I am in the right place. And I can help you get there too.
The really useful email full of strategies, advice, and guidance that will help you grow your business without a whiff of 24/7 hustle…
