Still stuck on the same business goals you had six months ago?
You’re not alone. Lisbon is full of ambitious indie business owners — yet most are spinning their wheels.Meetups are friendly, but casual chats over drinks don’t grow a business.You need real traction, consistent action, and peers who push you forward — not beer and pointless small talk.If you’re serious about what you’re building, it’s time for a better approach.
You’ve tried Meetups, coworking, and online groups.
You show up, you talk shop, maybe even swap ideas — but then everyone drifts.There’s no follow-up, no pressure to act, no results.Coworking gives you space, not strategy. Online groups fade fast.You’re not looking for another chat.You’re ready for progress you can measure, challenges you’ll complete, and business wins you’ll share with people who care.
We're the anti-Meetup for solo pros.
Yes Ahead is an action-led group for internationals in Lisbon who want to move forward.We meet twice a month on Zoom to tackle shared business problems, set actionable challenges, and report back with results.There's no fluff or time wasted. No Slack or Facebook either.Just focused sessions, honest feedback, and consistent momentum.If you’ve outgrown Meetups or need something to push you forward, this is your next step.
This is how we'll work together.
Early bird pricing: €50/month.Yes Ahead is a private group designed to help solo business owners identify what’s not working — and fix it!You’ll work in a confidential space with peers who understand the demands of running their own business.Everything we share stays in the room. This gives you the chance to share problems free of judgement so we can grow — together.You’ll walk away with practical actions, insight from fellow solos, and a clearer understanding of what your business needs.
We meet twice a month online — on Zoom:• Session 1 (2 hours) — We address a business problem together, with a challenge at the end.• Session 2 (2 hours) — Everyone shares what they did with the challenge, followed by peer learning and industry discussions.• Challenges every month to keep you moving and accountable.• Friendly check-ins between sessions to find out how you're getting on.• Familiar faces every month, to support you no matter where you are in your business.
If you're not serious, it's not for you.
Yes Ahead is for solo professionals with skin in the game — service-based founders with real clients and 3+ years in business.This is for people growing companies, in maker, creative and coding spaces. This is not for influencers, part-timers or side-hustlers.You want strategic input, accountability, and growth — and you’re willing to show up and do the work.You’ll need to commit to attending both sessions every month, without fail, take action, and be ready to look at your business with fresh eyes.
I’ve helped solos like you build—and keep building.
Hi, I’m Thomas Wong, the face behind Yes Ahead.I’ve helped solo business owners get unstuck for years, in London and Berlin. I know how complicated it is to run a service business alone — everything on your shoulders, endless decisions, and no one to test ideas with.Whether you’re launching, expanding, or stuck mid-project, it’s normal to worry if you’re missing pieces or doing it the wrong way. That’s where I come in — to help you hack your challenges and find the clarity and confidence to move forward.
"When looking for services, I pay attention to reliability, trust and the final result. Thomas was very easy to work with, attentive, professional and at the same welcoming from the beginning. These small details make a big difference." — Giulia Cappello, graphic designer“Thomas really wants the best for you and cares about your work. So in any feedback, you will get the truth and not something sugar-coated. He listens to what you want and provides very creative suggestions.” — Gabriel Both, coach“Thomas holds no punches in getting your work into shape. He also constantly reassures you that these are his thoughts, and that I am free to control or execute them. This gave me options to choose from and was very much appreciated. He articulates his points across very clearly, which is a rare find.” — Zell Liew, speaker & web developer
