Real people. Real progress.And you can be a part of it.
You’re the boss, marketer, and problem-solver. It's a lot.
Running your own business is hard enough.Doing it abroad — in a place where you don’t yet have trusted peers — is overwhelming.You want growth, consistency, and clarity, but it’s hard when no one’s there to brainstorm with or cheer you on.You don’t need another networking event.You need people who get it — and who show up every month, just like you.
Every session, 10 business owners help you solve your problems.
In Yes Ahead, you’ll meet the same small group twice a month.Each session focuses on each member’s real business challenges — marketing, growth, anything that matters.Everyone contributes, shares ideas, and learns.Over time, these faces become familiar, the advice sharper, the trust stronger.It’s not networking — it’s collaboration with heart.

Here’s what past members say:
"When looking for groups, 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, 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, tech 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, web developer
