I’m Ian, founder of Compass Coachment.
Over the years, I’ve built businesses, burned out, rebuilt, rethought everything, and come out the other side with a simple but powerful belief:
You don’t have to sacrifice freedom to be successful.
I started my first business with nothing but a typewriter and a big idea. Like many founders, I did everything myself ‑ marketing, sales, fulfilment, admin. I was the business!
And for a while, that worked. But eventually, I hit the wall. My time was maxed out, and I realised something important:
If I stopped working, the business stopped too.
That wasn’t a business. That was a job ‑ one with longer hours, higher stress, and no holiday pay.
So I changed the game. I began studying the difference between those who own a business, and those who are owned by it.
I learned how to build systems, shape strategy, and grow teams that could take more of the weight. I combined the best of coaching (where you find your own answers) with the best of mentoring (where someone shows you a faster way). That’s how Coachment was born.
Compass Coachment is for small business owners who want to break free ‑ who want more income, more time, and more freedom.
There is. And we’ll find it ‑ together.
If any of this resonates, start with the Quick Assessment ‑ it’ll help you (and me) see if Coachment is the right fit for where you are right now.
You built the business.
Now let’s build the freedom.
