A high-touch one-to-one and group coaching Mastermind for established service-based business owners looking to set fire to the BS rule book and build a People-First business where YOU define your version of success! 🤘
Have you been looking at all kinds of masterminds, but so much of what you’re reading is giving you the “ick” or you feel like you're "paying bajillions just to be in the room 🙄"?
Come and join us in the Disobedient Business® Mastermind, where you get to explore the full range of what makes you YOU in your business and create a 🖕🏼 up to the system, disobedient & rule-breaking business, that is both "People First" and wildly profitable while you’re at it!
Because you care about HOW you do business - not just the what, the who and the how much!
Because you need your business to be successful on YOUR terms and yes of course that means financially, but for you, it means so much more than that!
Because you’ve done alllll the courses (aka finished none of them) and although some of the knowledge has been helpful, much of it just doesn’t “sit well”. Some bypasses your humanity and much of it asks you to manipulate and bypass the humanity of your community and clients too.
Because you crave a space where you can explore what your own success looks like “out loud”, in a judgement-free community of folks who are all giving the middle finger to what society and the so-called business gurus say they should do and instead, creating their own damn rules.
Because you’re a service-based business owner with a wicked sense of humour and you’re creative AF (at a guess we’d say you work somewhere in the realms of coaching, design, copywriting, marketing/comms), and you feel right at home with other courageous, innovative and free-thinking peeps.
Because you’re just about done with the same old boring-AF BS in the business space and you’re desperate for something else. Something DISOBEDIENT maybe?
We see you, magnificent disobedient human!
Above all kindness = everything, difference is celebrated, honouring humanity is prioritised and your business gets to be more than just a way to replace the day job that felt like a great idea but is actually just a fuckton of hard work, longer hours and you endlessly feeling like you have to use shady AF tactics just to keep the lights on.
- The toxic culture of productivity is gone and you give yourself a permission slip to work or rest in a way that feels good to you.
- You are never told it’s a “just a mindset block” when really you’re navigating past trauma (big or little T) and being told to “just push through”.
- Nobody is manipulated into buying “the thing” and sales conversations come with consent and consultation, acknowledging that adult humans know their own minds and actually just need space to make their own decision (which usually leads to working with you anyway because you’re fucking brilliant).
- You’re free to change your mind. Again and again and again. That learning, unlearning, unravelling and taking a different stand or position is to be celebrated and doesn’t make you "flaky". You get to stand your ground for mere minutes before standing somewhere else - it’s called evolution baby!
- If you want to create a “four-figure'' business that is celebrated just as much as seven figures might be. Where nobody tells you six-figures is wrong, but that it’s not held out as THE measure of success that you must strive for.
Just imagine for a moment if you will...
This is what we want for you in your amazing business and we plan to help you get there! Let's go!
Are super clear on what your vision and values actually are and how they manifest in what you actually do - how you price, how you market, how you define success, how you show up and plan for the future.
Have a “way things work” for your unique business, knowing how to take things forward, with beautiful plans and a solid strategy.
Feel much more confident and grounded, able to articulate the value of the services you provide, connecting with more lovely humans and having authentic, grounded conversations with potential clients and transitioning them into paying clients at a price point that feels great for everyone.
Go from procrastination and overwhelm and being all in your head to building a business that makes total sense.
How exciting when you...
Susan Sutherland - Next chapter & self-belief coach
Working with Pippa and Lucy is just fab! They bring a solid balance of strategic focus, tactical guidance and - best for me - a set of broad technical skills to help systematize my vision. I even called in emergency tech support for my non-coaching website and they were good, fast, and spot on with their questions when clarification was required. Love working with them!
We have a reputation for supporting folks to not only find their way to thrive and succeed in business, but to do that in a way that doesn’t sacrifice their soul, their peace or their nervous systems!
Reputation
Our mission at the Disobedient Business® Co is to help service-based business owners to find ways to do business that sets fire to the rulebook and do things their way (and by their way, we mostly mean with a 🖕🏼up to the status quo and with stack loads of integrity).
Mission
Pippa has been running her coaching business since 2016, but in truth has been coaching humans in her career for 25+ years, so she’s pretty decent at this stuff. We run two successful signature group programmes, manage our podcast 100% in-house (Lucy’s editing skills are 🔥), and we also support businesses with really useful templates and tools too. What Lucy doesn’t know about tech, they figure out. Bringing Lucy’s big 🧠 to your systems and tech is never a bad idea!
Mastery
Pippa is a fully qualified teacher (of adult learners) and has been coaching folks in business and systems strategy since 2016. Lucy's a tech genius and all-round systems and workflows maestro. Together it's quite the combo 🔥.
Experience
We’ve supported dozens of amazing humans like you for years. We regularly get people in our DMs chatting about our work and how they found us. Supporting clients to find their own way to success, work less, play more, launch programmes, design workflows and systems that create ease, hit targets, give up the day job and more
Achievement
So why get us to support you?
Not another bloody business course!
There is no polished here - it’s disobedient AF
There’s no "boss babe" here. at all. Period.
No cookie-cutter templates or 5 steps to 7 figs BS.
The Mastermind is about finding a way to be successful in your business your way, through selling and marketing with integrity, loving boundaries with clients and community and stretching yourself personally to be a people-first business owner that leads with integrity your own business values.
This is about business owners that believe 1000% that when one of us wins, we all win. That looks to support and encourage our fellow members and is (truly) about collaboration over competition (especially when that feels a little bit uncomfortable as Patriarchy and capitalism have taught us we should be out to win against each other 🙄).
If you’re looking for an amazing community of disobedient business owners and incredible support to grow your business with integrity THIS is the Mastermind for you!
- You’re in the earlier stages or brand shiny new in your business and your main goal is around attracting your first 1-2-1 clients and all those early activities so your amazing new business is sustainable (you're going to want to check out the Disobedient Business® School as this will be right up your street).
- You're a product-based business - there are some exceptions to this and it's probably best to have a chat if you're thinking "I love this and I want in".
- It’s 100% about getting to the 5/6/7 figures for you and you’re looking for the blueprint or formula you can follow to get there 😳🤢. We’re all about sharing with you all that we know (mentoring) and helping you to find your own way (coaching) and implementing in a way that creates intentional success in your business (strategy) - but we’re a blueprints free zone 🙅🏼.
👎
Probs not if…
- You're quite likely neurodivergent or have “a touch of the spicies” (as we both do and so do most of our clients), but either way "anti status quo and being TOLD what to do run through your veins!
- You’re a coach, creative or other service-based business owner and you’ve been in business for a little while now.
- You have services that you’re selling pretty consistently and looking at expanding your offer ecosystem (or even streamlining it so you’re not just work, work, work).
- Cookie cutter strategies don’t work for you or you damn well won’t use them - fuck blueprints they're only good for architects!
- You don't like “templated” when it comes to strategies, but you’re 100% here for a template when it makes your life easier.
👍
This is for you if…
🚨
Vibe check
Black lives matter, all love is love, women’s rights matter, gender is a construct, all brains are good brains, essentially ALL humans are valuable and kindness and respect is everything.
If you don't believe that business is inherently political and would rather avoid the tough conversations about the state of the world and doing the work to help dismantle the systems that harm so many of us in it, then working with us is definitely not for you.
We practise our values out loud in the Disobedient Business® Co. and believe that we can all play a small part in making the world a bit better. These values 1000% extend to the safety of folks taking part in any of our programmes in all their glorious different identities!
If our vibe check makes you “good cringe” then come say hi as "open growth convos" are our jam, but if it’s giving you the ick, we’d recommend moving on as we'll definitely not be for you (and vice versa).
Helen Wallis-Dowling - Self-belief Coach
I had a ton of ideas but was feeling overwhelmed. Pippa brought a bright light in the shape of a strategy and a plan. I didn’t know what I expected but was confident I’d come away with a business plan and I got soooo much more than that. I felt and continue to feel so much calmer as I continue to develop my business. I feel like I know what I’m doing. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and for making me feel seen, heard and understood. 💖
Your copywriting, plans or strategy reviewed! Get Pippa’s eyes on your strategy or plans or disobedient copy coach Siobhan will review sales emails, sales pages or general copy and provide strategic feedback so they hit the mark and convert!
Copy and strategy review
A creative and intimate (max 10) community of disobedient business owners where we will go deep and wide and have those conversations other people aren’t having. Where all opinions are respected, and interesting and challenging conversations are valued.
Online community & hub
If you love the idea of a more “share my thoughts or questions in the moment” kinda deal - via voice or text notes, the asynch coaching will be right up your street. How it works: At any time of the day or night (cos time zones arewerite?), pop Pippa a voice or text note and she will reply within 48 hours. It’s quite often within the hour or so - depends on commitments on the day and whether it’s 3am where we are 🫣. We can have an ongoing conversation about what you’re working on.
Asynschronous coaching
No VIP upgrades here, all Masterminders get a 60-minute monthly one-to-one coaching call with Pippa to have a more intensive conversation and strategise outside of the hot seat pod calls.
Monthly 1-2-1s w/ Pippa
One-to-one support
A 3+ hour "coworking meets strategy" session where you will create your strategy and plan for the next 90-days, ask questions through the session in the chat and share your plans with the group for accountability. Focussed CEO time for strategy & planning = 🔥.
Quarterly planning support
An opportunity for all Masterminders to be coached live in small groups or “pods” of 5 or less.. No topic is off the table, including business disobedience, strategy, planning, marketing, sales and more.
Hot seat pod calls (every two weeks)
Topic-focused guided group calls that centre on areas important to the group, what’s going on in the world or in this weird business space we inhabit. We will explore this as a group, taking some actions away with us. This is often a firm favourite call!
Guided group coaching (mthly)
Our regular group calls
Let's get to know you/your business better, start figuring out goals and plans for the first 90 days and decide on your initial Definition of Success - what does success in your business look and feel like for YOU?!
"Success call" - 90 mins
Let's get a really good picture of where you're at now and establish where you want to be! This is not the "same old, same old" onboarding form, this is creating measurable baselines (and not just the $£# either!).
Comprehensive onboarding
It’s simple really. The Disobedient Business® Mastermind is a rolling format where the initial sign up is for 6 months and there's any easy peasy way to renew for either 6 or 12 months at a time thereafter (we're so convinced that you're going to want to that we promise that all the time that you stay in the Mastermind, your price is fixed - you will never pay more than you did when you joined!).
We have 7/8 "rest weeks" a year (because we need a rest and so do you!), these are pretty evenly spread out so there is no "joining at the wrong time" and if you want to check out the schedule for the next 12 months, just holler!
The offer
(appx £3300GBP*)
paid in full
$4170
(appx £550GBP*)
per mth for 6m
$695
Here's the super-simple pricing...
A note about instalments: You might be used to paying extra to pay by instalments or seeing it sold as a “discount” when you pay in full. We don’t believe in penalising folks that don’t have a stack of cash just lying around to invest in a Mastermind, so the price is the same regardless. Please chat with us if you need a different payment plan as we will always make things work where we can.
*as we are an international business, our pricing is charged in USD$ to be as globally accessible as possible.
So, if you're anything like us, you just saw that question and sat back in your chair a little bit! You had been thinking...
" this all sounds amazing - a better, more People-First way of doing business, I reckon I might be IN", but now you're somewhere around...
"oh FFS I had such high hopes but it's another elitist BS thing where I have to jump through hoops to prove I'm worthy of paying eleventy billion pounds to breathe the same air".
It's OK hold your horses for just a sec, lovely human - that first instinct you had was the right one, but why the application process?
First this isn't some kind of exclusionary elitist nonsense application BS (no hidden pricing, the price is up there 👆) and we're not looking to "screen" folks that want to join. It's simple really:
We feel really strongly about how important it is that the Mastermind is the right fit for you and that you are the right fit for it (we, like you, have wasted faaar too much money on things that weren't!). And as we know the Mastermind better than anyone (obvs) and you know you better than anyone (obvs), a chat about how the programme would support you in your business and what you would get out of it, feels kinda essential.
Pop your details in and we'll review it within 24 biz hours (often sooner) and come back to you with our thoughts of what's the best next step.

Some Qs & some As
It’s simple—just fill out this (very) short application form.
How do I apply?
We prioritise applications from folks with marginalised identities—that could be because you’re Black, Brown, Indigenous, disabled, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or facing systemic barriers in any other kind of way. This isn’t mean to be an exhaustive list, but if you’re looking at this and thinking, I need this, but I don’t know if I qualify, the answer is probably yes and whether you do or not, we’d love you to apply anyway.
Who can apply?
Because the way business coaching is structured often locks people out before they’ve even had a chance to really be successful on their own terms. We know that some of the smartest, most capable business owners find themselves on the margins simply because of who they are or the circumstances they’re navigating.
Once our financial needs are covered, we’re in a position to pay it forward, offering a hand up—not a handout—to help balance the scales a little. (Yes, this is one of the ways our lefty, socialist-leaning tendencies show up in everything we do in the Disobedient Business® Co.)
Why do we offer scholarships?
Yes! We offer two scholarship places a year—roughly one every six months—for folks where the only thing stopping them from joining is the investment. These places are prioritised for people with marginalised identities, because let’s be real—the coaching industry is a privileged AF space, and we know that traditional business support isn't always accessible to everyone.
Our scholarship covers 50% of the usual investment for your initial six months in the Mastermind. It’s not about proving hardship—it’s about recognising that, for many, the barrier to entry isn’t a lack of talent, drive, or readiness, but simply cash.
We try to make sure that there are calls that work in all time zones and of course, all calls are recorded and available in the Mastermind hub and on the Mastermind private podcast for you to listen back to. If you would like specifics of what places are available in which pod group and when "whole Mastermind" calls are, just pop us a note.
We max out at 10 Disobedient Business® Masterminders at any given time and we split into up to 2 pods of up to 5 for Hot Seat coaching calls.
Yes, all Masterminders get one 60-minute call with Pippa every month (6 in total).
This is an interesting question as we usually say the Disobedient Business® Mastermind is for folks 3+ years into their business where life is a bit less about the constant search for new clients and refining, refining, refining what you do and who you do it for. If you’re in the earlier stages of your business (however long you've been in business as you get to define "earlier”), you definitely want to check out the Disobedient Business® School . <<Chat with us>> if you need help deciding.
No problem, just pop into our DMs on instagram or drop us an email and we’ll be happy to help and give you a super honest answer to whether The Mastermind is right for you.
The online (and offline) business space isn’t going to get more equitable, become more anchored in humanity or less steeped in privilege if those of us IN that space don’t take action and start to do business differently.
This is your time to “stick it to the man”, break some rules and fuck some business shit up, with an amazing disobedient community of folks who are doing the same.
