Inspiring Business Growth Ltd

Inspiring Business Growth exists to help business owners and senior leaders strengthen and grow their business and become the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.
We do this through training, consultancy, mentoring and business coaching.

Director

The Accountants' Table

The Accountants' Table is a growth, support and mentoring group for accountants.
It was founded as I am so passionate about helping accountants get their dream practice, and I wanted to share my knowledge on the things which I believe will help transform your practice. 
I also wanted to share the mistakes (some seriously huge clangers!!) which I made, in the hope of stopping others from making them also. 
Furthermore, I wanted to create a community of Accountants that help, support, and champion each other.
👉In a nutshell, The Accountants’ Table is something I wish was around when I had my practice!👈

Founder

T J English Ltd, Chartered Certified Accountants

Director and consultant at T J English, Chartered Certified Accountants an accountancy practice based near Cardiff and established in 2010.
The practice specialised in providing accounting and taxation services to limited companies, sole traders and partnerships and looked to work closely with clients and establish long lasting business relationships.

At Inspiring Business Growth, we specialise in helping and guiding business owners, senior leaders and accountants unlock their business potential, achieve their goals, and become the best version of themselves. Through business consultancy, mentoring, and elite business coaching, we provide the tools and insights needed to drive sustainable growth and success.

Are you a business owner or senior leader who:

Feels isolated and needs a confidential sounding board for strategic advice?
Wants to enhance leadership or management skills?
Wants to increase profitability and drive sustainable growth?
Feels stuck in the weeds and unable to move forward?
Wants to improve their mindset, and get clarity in making the right business decisions?
Aspires to build an outstanding team or improve their current team?

If so, let's connect and explore how we can transform your business together.

Before founding IBG, I successfully ran an accountancy practice for 11 years, which I sold in 2021. 

As part of IBG, I lead a specialised mentoring group for accountants called The Accountants’ Table. It's so rewarding to witness the transformative changes and impressive results our members achieve. If you're an accountant ready to make impactful changes in your practice, let's discuss how The Accountants’ Table can help you reach your goals, and help you get the practice you want.

For more details about The Accountants’ Table, visit www.theaccountantstable.co.uk.

In my early twenties, I was a professional snooker player, which allowed me to travel the world and develop a high-performance mindset. I bring this same mindset to my clients, helping them gain clarity and foster a positive outlook in their business endeavours.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and two children and enjoy playing the occasional round of golf. I firmly believe in aligning personal and business goals to ensure a fulfilling and balanced life.

This is my Mum.
 
On Saturday we celebrated her 70th birthday…
with a family dinner party… she loved it❤️

We all got dressed up, two of the grandkids turned into waiters for the night (they were thrilled 🤣), and we just… enjoyed being together.
 
We laughed.
We reminisced.
We talked about the people we miss.
Drank wine and classic cocktails… and some especially designed for the occasion😉

And my parents told the grandkids stories about me and my sister when we were younger… some of which I’d happily erase from history 🤣

But here’s what hit me…

As we head into a season where family can bring stress… it’s so easy to take them for granted.

And yet, they won’t always be there.

Saturday was a reminder, a needed one, of how blessed I am, and how important these moments actually are.

Because in the end, it’s these moments that become the memories we wish we could relive❤️

Helping directors & accountants scale smarter, lead stronger and create the business they truly want.

LinkedIn is going to be full of “Budget Breakdown” posts today 🤣

So here’s my slightly less dramatic contribution…

Focus on what you can control…not on what sends your blood pressure through the roof!!!

Let’s be honest… the last few governments?

Not breaking any records are they for “Business Owner Confidence” 😂

So what can I change?

🤷‍♂️ Absolutely nothing.
Except how I respond…which is the only bit that actually moves the needle.

Because every time there’s noise, confusion, or another “shock announcement”…

There’s always opportunity hiding somewhere in it.

So ask yourself:

How can I serve my clients better?
What do they really need right now?
And how can I help them stay calm while everyone else panics? 🤣

Budgets come and go.
Good leadership doesn’t.

Accountants… is your pricing actually consistent?

Over the last few months inside The Accountants’ Table, one theme keeps coming up again and again:

👉 Consistency.

Because a pricing system only works if:
✔️ it’s clear
✔️ it’s repeatable
✔️ and someone else in your team could use it and get the same price as you

If that last point isn’t a confident “yes”, then Thursday is going to help you massively.

👉Live GoProposal Demo — Thursday 20th November, 1:30pm👈

I’m delighted that Tim Burrow, Practice Success Manager at Sage, is joining me to run a full live walk-through of GoProposal.

He’ll show you:
🔹 How GoProposal actually calculates prices
🔹 How it removes inconsistency across team members
🔹 A live case study so you can see it working in real time

It’s just 30 minutes, fast-paced, practical, and perfect if pricing in your practice relies too much on you.

Want a consistent, scalable pricing system?

See you there!

‘Sunny days don’t shape you’…


I was watching my son playing football on Saturday, wetter than an otter’s pocket🦦… but still not as wet as he was. 🤣

It was one of those proper childhood matches, the kind you remember forever.

Absolutely peeing down. Freezing. Ball stuck in the mud. Players unrecognisable because they were all stinking.

Most games like that don’t even go ahead anymore, they’re usually called off.

And it got me thinking…

We try so hard to protect our kids, keep them warm, dry, comfortable, wrapped in metaphorical cotton wool.

But sometimes they need days like Saturday.
 Days that build character. Days that toughen them up. Days that turn “this is awful” into “that’s when I stepped up.”

And here’s the takeaway…

In business, we often try to avoid our own “rainy, muddy, crappy days.”
 The awkward conversations. The tough decisions. The messy problems we’d rather postpone.

But it’s those uncomfortable moments that build resilience, grit, clarity, and confidence.

Sunny days don’t shape you as a leader…
… it’s the rainy, muddy, crappy ones that do.

No alternative text description for this image

I saw this quote which Alex Ferguson once said:

“Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat.”

And honestly… I think he’s right.

Looking back, I think I’ve definitely learnt less from the wins, than I have from the wobbles.

It’s easy to look like a leader when everything’s going smoothly.
Clients paying on time.
Team performing.
No fires to put out.

But the real test?

It’s what you do after the punch or kick in the 🥜 you didn’t see coming.
The lost client.
The team issue.
The month where nothing seems to land.
The moment self-doubt starts whispering in your ear.

Because that’s where leaders are made.

It’s not the defeat that defines you…
It’s the response.

Treat it as a learning tax!

Get back up.
Re-set.
Re-focus.
