Question 1

I'm still in full time employment - can I do The CORE Method alongside my job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The CORE Method is designed to fit around your existing commitments. The four workshops are scheduled at times that work for you, and the independent work I do between sessions means your time investment is focused and manageable. Many new founders find that having The CORE Method running alongside their current role actually accelerates their transition to entrepreneur because by the time they're ready to go all in, the strategic foundations are already in place.

Question 2

What if I’ve already been operating for a few years? Is it too late?

Accepted Answer

The CORE Method can be just as valuable if you feel your foundations were never fully defined. Or you realise in hindsight that you need to strengthen your branding, product, pricing or commercial understanding. The process requires an appetite for looking at your business from a new perspective, a willingness to adapt, and an excitement for refining what you've started.

Question 3

How is this different from working with a mindset coach?

Accepted Answer

Mindset coaching is valuable work - and there is absolutely an element of personal support, encouragement and confidence-building in what I do too.
But The CORE Method is fundamentally a strategic consultancy process. We're not just exploring how you think and feel about your business - we're building the actual commercial architecture behind it. You leave with a Brand Strategy and Messaging Guide, a Commercial Framework with real financial modelling, and an Offer Design Strategy. These are professional, actionable strategic documents rooted in data, market insight and commercial reasoning - not just a clearer mindset. But the confidence and pride in your business that you gain from having real evidence that it's going to work is unmatched!

Question 4

What do I walk away with at the end?

Accepted Answer

Three bespoke, professional strategic tools built entirely for your business:

Your Brand Strategy & Messaging Guide: your brand mission, vision, values, unique value proposition, target customer profile, and tone of voice. Everything you need to show up consistently and compellingly across every touchpoint.
Your Commercial Framework: a full revenue model including pricing, customer targets, cost mapping, and a Year 1 to Year 2 growth trajectory. A serious financial decision-making tool that makes your business not just viable, but highly credible.
Your Offer Design Strategy: a clear, commercially sound architecture for exactly what you're selling, designed around your customer's experience and your commercial goals, with a prioritised roadmap for what to build first.

Alongside these, you leave with something equally valuable - a deep conviction in what you're building, who it's for, and how it makes money. That changes everything about how you communicate, present your business as a founder, pitch for investment, or win your dream partners & customers.

Question 5

What happens after The CORE Method?

Accepted Answer

For founders who want to continue working together, I offer the Strategic Partnership retainer - a 3 or 6-month engagement that embeds ongoing strategic support into your business as it grows. This covers everything from commercial performance tracking and marketing campaign oversight to freelancer management and weekly decision-making support. It's available exclusively to CORE graduates, because the retainer is built on the foundations we create together. Contact me on hello@annabradbury.co.uk to find out more about Strategic Partnership.

Question 6

Can I pay in installments?

Accepted Answer

I offer payment plans on a case by case basis. If this is something you'd like to discuss, please mention it when we speak on your Clarity Call and we'll find an arrangement that works for you.
