Working hard — but still unsure why customers aren’t coming?

You’ve opened your doors. You’ve tried things. You’re busy.But customer traction feels fragile — unpredictable, inconsistent, stressful.When customers slow down, everything feels exposed.Yes Ahead is for solo business owners in Lisbon who want to stop guessing and start moving forward — with clarity, support, and real momentum.

This is the part no one talks about.

You try ideas because someone suggested them.You post, tweak, wait — and nothing changes.Customers don’t come back. Walk-ins are random.You don’t know what’s working or what to fix next.There’s no place to talk this through properly — only isolation, overthinking, and hoping the next month will be better.

Yes Ahead is where stuck businesses regain traction.

Yes Ahead is a small, committed mastermind for Lisbon-based solo owners.Twice a month, you focus on what’s slowing your business down.You work through it with familiar faces who run businesses too — openly, honestly, without judgment.This isn’t networking.It’s collaboration with heart — and progress you can feel.

How Yes Ahead works.

Your Yes Ahead membership:• We meet twice a month on Zoom for focused 2–3 hour sessions
• Each session centres on real business obstacles — not theory
• Honest feedback from peers and answers to questions you've always wanted to ask
• Accountability and community
Everything we share stays in the room.This gives you the chance to share problems and get things off your mind — safely.

I'm Thomas Pao. I’ve been a business owner for 15+ years and understand the highs, lows, and isolation it can bring. I previously ran this group in Berlin and have also co-hosted events for solo business owners.You’ll make progress every month — with people who actually want to see you succeed, and I'll be there to keep everyone connected.Membership is €75 per month + VAT. Founding members can secure their place today with 50% (€37).

Because clarity beats motivation.

Yes Ahead gives you space to think clearly again.To test ideas before trying them live.To learn why things didn’t work — and what to try next.You leave sessions lighter, sharper, and more confident.Not because someone told you what to do —but because you’re no longer carrying the weight alone.

A small group, by design.

Yes Ahead is capped at a limited number of members to protect trust, focus, and quality.If you run a service business in Lisbon and customer traction feels fragile, this is for you.Reserve your place: 50% / €37

What business owners say.

"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"If you need someone to support your business, I would recommend Thomas to you. His approach is clearly structured, he knows what he is doing and you are being guided really well by his process. I always had the positive feeling that I am working with a friend." — Michael Mai, web agency owner“Thomas holds no punches in getting your goals 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.” — Zell Liew, tech coach
