Growing Women in BusinessAlana Arthurs, business mentor and AI consultant for women in Cornwall
You hold everyone else's world together. Let's build your greatness.
You carry the rota, the school run, the team, someone else’s dream. Nobody ever stopped and asked what you wanted to build.
I’m Alana. I had a rough childhood, then eight years with a kind foster family in Cornwall, and I’ve been building things from nothing ever since. Now I sit beside women like you, with AI doing the heavy lifting, until your website, your offer and your first post are out of your head and in the world.

Built with AI, in days
This website, the Visibility Score and every email you'll get. Made by me. If you can type a message to a friend, you can do this.

The certificate isn't the thing that's stopping you. One true story about fear and what it costs, and one thing to do before Monday.
You are honestly an angel by the way.

A great mentor doesn't just share knowledge, they help you see the potential in yourself, even when you can't.

The Future Deck
A quote and an easy action, every day. Four decks: the Daily Pep, the Fear Buddy, The Lift and Break the Pattern.
Five free prompts
Copy one into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and answer honestly. Each one ends with one thing so small anyone could do it.
Sound familiar?
It’s 11pm. The house is finally quiet, and for the first time all day nobody needs you. You open your laptop and look up how to start something of your own. You get as far as the second page of results.
Then the voice turns up. Not shouting. Reasonable. Not now. You’ll look silly. Who do you think you are?
By morning, you’ve closed the tab. Again.
That voice isn’t telling you the truth. It’s telling you what it thinks keeps you safe. You’ve been so busy holding everyone else up that nobody has held you. That stops here.
This is for you if
- You've poured years into a job, your kids, or a partner, and none of it has your name on it yet.
- You've thought about starting more than once, looked things up late at night, then talked yourself out of it by morning.
- You want a push and a room of women, not another course explaining theory you already know.
This isn't for you if
- You want it done for you, not something you build yourself.
- You're after a vision board and good vibes, not a room that holds you to the action.
- You're not willing to do one scary thing this month.
What you leave with is yours
- 1A website people can find
Built with you, on a screen you can see, with AI writing the first draft of every page. This site was made the same way.
- 2One thing to buy, with a price on it
Not five ideas. One sentence: I help ___ with ___ for £___. We get it out of your head and on to the page.
- 3A plan for showing up
What to post and when, plus the prompts that write the rough draft, so you only have to be brave, not clever.
- 4A back office that runs itself
Bookings, invoices, follow-ups and the emails you keep putting off, set up once so they stop eating your evenings.
- 5Everything, kept
Every prompt and every recording, so you can do it again without me.
The practical work and the fear work run together, not one after the other. That's the difference from a course.
The method underneath: CLIMB
Five steps. Every one works on four things at once: your mindset, your voice, your business (whether you're starting it or scaling it) and the woman you're growing into.
Centre the Body
First, a body reset. Some days that means calming a wired nervous system down, other days it means shaking you up and getting the energy going. Then the business goes on the table as plain facts: what comes in, what goes out, what you're actually selling, and what your week is really carrying.
Land It
Say the actual thing, out loud. What the business is for in your life, the number that would change things, and one sentence with a price on it. Saying it until it stops wobbling is how you get used to your own voice.
In It Together
Never done alone. We find out whose voice is talking you out of it, then build the business side with AI, side by side: your first page and price if you're starting, the systems and back office if you're ready to grow.
Move
Do it now, the smallest true version, today. The price goes public, the post goes up, or the ask goes to a real person. Something exists in the world with your name and your voice on it.
Bank It
Prove it worked, then make it stick. What fear predicted against what actually happened. Then the habits that keep you going: sleep, water, rest and never stopping learning. Plus the numbers to watch and your next three steps.
I had a rough start, then eight years with a kind foster family in Cornwall. I had to learn the basics, like asking for help, by doing.
Years later I became a director at Vector Rope Access, my partner’s business, and saw what was missing: an accountant, a CRM, Cyber Essentials. I put them in. Over seven years we grew it tenfold, and it now turns over £167,000 a month (last filed accounts, on Companies House).
That taught me something I didn’t expect. If I could fix the holes in one business, I could fix them in hundreds. And the women who most needed it weren’t the ones with a business. They were the ones who’d spent years building someone else’s.
I'm not stood above you explaining. I'm sat beside you pointing.

Always get back up. Keep going. Be grateful for what the universe gives you, and take action to improve it if that’s what you want.
