Yessss, you're here! This makes me very happy.

Hi, I'm Katie.

Hello and WELCOME to the Duck Pond. This is a welcoming community of people running businesses with purpose at their heart.

You're a business owner who wants to fight the planet's biggest problems using your brand as your weapon - and we are here to give you all the support, solidarity, collaboration and connection you need to make the biggest impact possible. Scroll down to learn more about how the Pond helps purpose-led and purpose-curious entrepreneurs to grow together.


ready to CONNECT WITH BUSINESS OWNERS JUST LIKE YOU?

YES! Let me in already

As a conscious business owner, you're already part of a pretty amazing club. A passionate bubble of excellent humans, whose purpose-driven businesses aren't just out there to make a profit. Nope, you're different. Your business is going to MAKE AN ACTUAL DIFFERENCE. Chances are it already is.

Your business deserves to be out there, in front of the eyes of the people you've so carefully mapped out as your ideal customer. It has TONS of potential...

But you feel held back by:

Loneliness

Running a business is a huge undertaking, and it can sometimes feel very lonely indeed. You wish you had a bunch of business buddies around you through thick and thin.

Time

To-do list as long as Mr Tickle's arm? We know the feeling. Why does it feel like time is speeding by but with every item ticked off your list, another two appear?

Budget

It's so frustrating when your budget doesn't match your ambitions. Experts come at a price, and that price is too high to justify working with them 1:1 right now.

Knowledge

You can't know everything. But you need to know everything because you're in this alone. You need quick-to-absorb, effective knowledge, RIGHT NOW.


In the pond, community and connection is at the centre of everything

The Duck Pond is an inclusive, supportive and friendly community of entrepreneurs who want hold purpose, sustainability and GOOD INTENTIONS at the very heart of their businesses.

Walking the walk

Or should we say 'waddling the waddle'?

We talk the talk and write the words, but it's important to demonstrate that we're about people, planet, positivity and pigs (and all the other animals, obvs).

Here are some of the ways we're using The Duck Pond as a force for good:

Who is behind the Duck Pond?

As I mentioned above, I'm Katie, the Founder of The Duck Pond. I'm a conscious business fanatic and I love helping purpose-led businesses grow.

I love snacks (with a passion for salt and vinegar crisps), the sea and my two children. Particularly when they're remembering to use their "indoor voices".

I speak to purpose-led business owners daily and there are three common themes that come up when I ask "What do you need help with?":

  • 'I have big ambitions and loads of ideas but a small budget. How am I supposed to grow my business if I can't pay for the support I need?'
 
  • 'Running my business is lonely. I wish there was a group of people I could turn to, to support me when I'm struggling.'
 
  • 'I'm overwhelmed and fed up with doing ALL THE THINGS. The internet is information overload. I need clarity and some business wins without getting lost down a rabbit hole of video tutorials and blogs."


So along came The Duck Pond - the answer to all those struggles and more.

Ready to join us?

Hell, yes! Let me in.
