The world of business is changing and Sara Osterholzer is leading the charge. She believes there’s a different way to do business that positively impacts people and the planet while still being profitable and is demystifying what that looks like to support business owners create sustainable businesses, for themselves and the world. 
 
Sara is an experienced entrepreneur, most recently the co-founder of The Good Business Club, and a mentor to the next generation of leaders looking to redesign the world of business, for good. When she’s not banging the drum for purpose-led business, you can find her touring around on her motorbike or breaking the taboo around mental health. 

Sara offers 1-2-1 advice or mentoring sessions, hosts a number of practical workshops, and recently launched The Good Business Roadmap - a course that will leave you feeling confident, clear, and ridiculously productive, ready to launch your purpose-driven business into the world in 11-weeks.

For the purpose-led, good business founders and freelancers

The world of business is changing. There’s a different way to do business that positively impacts people and the planet while still being profitable. This is a group for members who are aligned with this way of thinking to share challenges, ask for support, and learn together.

&lt;p&gt;In my early career&amp;nbsp;I was national sales manager and&amp;nbsp;board director&amp;nbsp;within private and publicly&amp;nbsp;owned businesses,&amp;nbsp;before forming my own consultancy practise in 2003,&amp;nbsp;where it was my aim&amp;nbsp;to bring professional support for meticulous planning and development&amp;nbsp;to other independent companies. I&amp;nbsp;became a full member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Levitt Group in 2006,&amp;nbsp;becoming&amp;nbsp;Chartered in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2003, I have worked with Royal Warrant holding businesses&amp;nbsp;allied to the construction industry&amp;nbsp;in manufacturing, wholesaling&amp;nbsp;and services,&amp;nbsp;whilst also working with non-Warrant holding companies in the retail and leisure sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2012&amp;nbsp;Enterprise Nation invited me to help support members like you through&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;accredited Growth Voucher scheme;&amp;nbsp;this work saw me recognised by those clients who had benefitted from my support and in 2015 I was honoured to be named, &amp;#39;One of Britain&amp;#39;s Top 50 Small Business Advisors&amp;#39;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2013&amp;nbsp;I was invited to join an executive board&amp;nbsp;to support the management and shareholders of that company as an NED and more recently&amp;nbsp;I became an ambassador for a financial services firm which&amp;nbsp;works together with me to support business owners expand and ultimately sell their businesses. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout the many years my practise has been running,&amp;nbsp;I have received some truly wonderful endorsements&amp;nbsp;which have all been generously written by my clients, all&amp;nbsp;of whom I&amp;nbsp;can now count as friends. If you believe my experience and skills can help you with the&amp;nbsp;hopes and desires you have for your business and you would like to read these endorsements, I&amp;#39;d be happy to share them with you, so please get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Away from work,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m a keen&amp;nbsp;yachtsman and dinghy racer (unfortunately, due to&amp;nbsp;time and my age I&amp;#39;m prevented from doing this other than for the fun/challenge of it!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best wishes&lt;/p&gt;
