Are you working long hours every week and still wondering where the customers are?
Running your own business in Aveiro should feel rewarding. But instead, it often feels draining.You have no idea why locals never return. You're not sure how to market what you do. Not sure how to find new customers. Unsure if you need a website.You’re not alone — most independent business owners in Portugal were never taught what it takes to really attract, keep, and grow customers.But you can change that.
You’ve built something — but it’s stuck
You’ve got a real business, real customers — but something’s not connecting.Maybe customers try you once and don’t come back. Perhaps you rely too much on tourists and not on locals.Or maybe you’ve never defined your USP.These problems might be costing you — but you just can't see them.You don’t need to work harder. You need to work smarter.
Real problems. Real change. Real fast.
Yes Ahead isn’t just talk.It’s an action-led group built to get your business unstuck.Each session tackles one business topic — like how to stand out or build local loyalty — and pushes you to act on it right away.This isn’t passive learning. You’ll get clear steps, feedback, and support — and you’ll test new ideas in real time, with your actual business.
This is how we'll work together
The Yes Ahead Mastermind
(EARLY BIRD €75/month (until end August 2025).Yes Ahead is a closed private group of individuals designed to help service-based business owners in Aveiro identify what’s not working — and fix it!You’ll work in a confidential space with peers who understand the local scene.Everything we share stays in the room. This gives you the chance to air your problems freely so we can grow — together.You’ll walk away with practical actions, insight from other business owners, and a clearer understanding of what your business needs.
What You Get
We meet twice a month online on Zoom:• Session 1 (2 hours) — We address a topic like marketing, then everyone shares a business problem related to the topic. A practical challenge is set at the end.• Session 2 (90 mins) — Everyone shares what they did with the challenge from Session 1 and what result they got.• Challenges every month to keep you learning, moving, and accountable.• Friendly check-ins between sessions to find out how you're getting on.• A business goal you submit on Day 1, to work through as we go.
Not for everyone, and that's the point

Why I built this (and what others say)
Hi, I’m Thomas Wong, the face behind Yes Ahead and I’ve seen these business problems firsthand in Aveiro.The café owner who lost a repeat customer by gossiping about them instead of building loyalty. The shop owner who turned away €30 worth of business because they didn’t accept Visa. The endless websites that don't load.I’ve worked with dozens of business owners over the years and I know how hard running your own business is. This is your livelihood, it’s not a game. I’m here to help you get unstuck and more forward.You’ll get sharp insights, straight talk, and structure that helps you move fast.
"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"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." — Miichael Mai, web agency CEO
