Is this for you?
I moved to the French Riviera in 2018 for a better quality of life, and on that front, it scores an 11 out of 10.
Business is a different story... La Côte d'Azur is a very particular environment, and a tough one for entrepreneurs.
Even more so if you're not French.
But that same obstacle is the big opportunity.
If you get the fundamentals right and put your customer first, you can easily stand out and grow faster than almost anywhere else.
Especially if you're serving international non-French-speaking clients.
I started Business Club Côte d'Azur for these reasons:
1. To be surrounded by the right people who lift me up when I'm down.
2. Because entrepreneurship can be overwhelming and hard to decide what to prioritise in the moment.
3. To keep exploring and enjoying everything the French Riviera has to offer while working, otherwise I'm just stuck in my safe bubble at home.
4. To find the next service business to invest in.
I started Business Club Côte d'Azur in 2019 as a hobby with my wife and we grew the community to over 1,000+ entrepreneurs.
Our lives have positively changed in every aspect.
We have both landed tons of paid work, found brilliant partners and even made lots of friends (nice side-benefit).
I believe business is ultimately about people, even more so in an AI and social media driven world.
Having a friendly community of driven entrepreneurs focused on genuine connection and sharing knowledge beats being in a group of strangers armed with a business card at a mixer, hoping for the best. I don't want that.
Everyone here has lived abroad and wants more out of life than 80-hour weeks chasing a bit more money.
Business is part of who you are and should be fun.
We are all serious and committed to building, growing and scaling our companies to serve our lives, not the other way around.

What you'll find inside Business Club Côte d'Azur
Success is a repeatable process, and that winning formula has three ingredients you'll find here.
*my definition of success is a highly profitable business that gives me enough free time and money to live the life I want.
The Secrets
Know exactly what to do, and when
Frameworks, templates and scripts for landing clients consistently.
The exact formulas I used to build, grow and sell companies in the past 15 years.
I've documented everything, so you no longer have to guess what to do next.
The Implementation
A clear plan tailored to your business
Any great business book still leaves me thinking how it works for me.
My frameworks are written for service businesses on the French Riviera selling time or expertise.
You get a clear actionable plan based on where you are and want to go.
The Accountability
Guidance and support to succeed
Only knowing what to do is not enough, you also need to keep taking action especially on the hard days.
You are part of an engaged community to keep you on track and help you when things get difficult.
Whenever you need it, we're here for you both online and in-person.
Starting from zero, introverted, or your French isn't great?
This still works. Members range from pre-revenue to past €1m, the material is tailored to your stage.
You just need to want landing better-paying international clients consistently.
No credit card needed.
The Secrets
Know exactly what to do, and when
Most founders second-guess becoming an entrepreneur at some point. That's normal. There is no manual for business, so I made one for each stage.
I have spent 15 years building, growing and selling companies, and I documented exactly how I did it so you don't have to guess.
Like kids, every company is unique, but they all go through predictable stages.
It all starts with the fundamentals of choosing the right thing to sell, because that makes it infinitely easier to grow.
No revenue yet
Without revenue there is no business, so that is your top priority.
You need to identify the right problem to solve, validate that problem is worth solving, and prove you’re the best company to hire.
Most starting businesses waste precious time and money building things nobody wants.
€0 to €100k in annual revenue
You’ve proven people will pay you.
Now you must double down on what worked to increase revenue, and get comfortable saying no to anything that distracts you.
Most businesses at this stage waste time trying to increase revenue by adding more services and chasing new ideas. This will work against you.
€100k to €1m in annual revenue
Depending on your ambition, this is the moment you need the right people around you.
But the financial resources to do it properly are usually the constraint.
The common mistake is hiring for the job you like and good at, because this is what you understand best.
But by doing so you will end up with the work you actually hate, which either produces no value for the business or is not something you’re good at.
At the same time, you are micromanaging someone else doing the thing you’re genuinely good at, because you don’t believe they can do it as well as you.
Most founders at this stage feel stuck and want to give up because it feels really hard.
€1m+ in annual revenue
Growing past €1m in annual revenue has a lot of different stages and challenges of course, but the first step and priority is doing significantly more of what already works.
Many founders underestimate just how much effort and volume that actually takes.
The next challenge is getting out of your own way, because what got you here won’t get you to the next stage.
This is why SOPs (standard operating procedures), systems, and leadership become essential to grow the business and set yourself free.
The Implementation
Tailored to your business
Anytime I read a great business book, I'm left wondering how this would actually work for my life and company.
That's why my frameworks are specifically for one kind of business: you sell time or expertise to international clients.
That means one of two things:
- You live on the French Riviera and work remotely with clients in another city or country
- You offer a local service and want better-paying international clients
That's the niche of Business Club Côte d'Azur.
Whatever your industry, you can plug my frameworks immediately into your business.
💎 VIP members work through it with my guidance in sprints matched by revenue stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Business Club Côte d'Azur for?
Consultants, freelancers and service businesses on the French Riviera who want more international clients.
That is usually one of two things:
You live here and work with clients somewhere else, for example as a consultant, coach, advisor or agency with remote workers.
Or,
You have a local service and want better-paying international clients, for example property or yacht management, wedding planning, high-end real estate or brokerage.
In all cases you sell expertise or time, and what you do usually needs a little explaining.
Do I need experience or an existing business?
No. Members range from pre-revenue to past €1m, and the frameworks are matched to your stage.
It works if you are starting from zero, introverted or your French isn't great.
You just need to want better-paying international clients.

👑 Premium: not happy with the value of the network? Full refund, no questions asked.
💎 VIP: follow the framework, show up for the meetings and put in the work. No new paying client in 90 days? Full refund.
A client means a signed agreement or a paid deposit.
Longer sales cycles? Book a discovery call and we agree on realistic conditions upfront.
How much time does this require from me?
As much or as little as you want.
The community and resources are there whenever you need them so you can go through everything at your own pace.
The meetings and sprints run all year, so there is always a moment that fits your schedule.
How is this different from a networking group?
A typical “business club” and “business networking community” organise open mixers where everyone shows up to swap business cards and lack proper guidance and structure to actually help you succeed in business.
Ultimately you join a business club because you want to increase revenue and meet the right people at the right time.
That’s why Business Club Côte d'Azur gives you a proven framework to land clients, small-group meetings with people worth meeting and monthly sprints with coaching calls to succeed.
Why is the price listed in USD ($) instead of EUR (€)?
We use an American platform, Skool, to manage Business Club Côte d’Azur which unfortunately does not yet support pricing in euro yet.
But no worries, you don’t need American dollars.
Skool charges your card in euros at the current exchange rate.
All listed prices exclude VAT.
What happens after signing up?
You get instant access to the online community, the lessons and the worksheets.
Premium members can book an intake meeting with me, create a listing in the member directory, find the upcoming meetings and can join the next one.
VIP members can join the next sprint and weekly coaching calls with me.
