The Challenge
Every organisation has the potential to thrive—but along the way, clarity can blur, challenges can mount, and energy can get stuck. This is an uncomfortable position where nothing seems to work and confidence is on the floor. We know this because we've all been there.
The Good News
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Those that continually develop their strategy, mindset, leadership and team are more competent, less stressed and more effective in the workplace and at home.
The Solution
Continuous development of strategic vision, mindset, leadership and teamwork skills.
What we call The Achievement Accelerators.
"We spent five years not investing in our leadership team
and it took ten years to re-gain our edge"
(Quote from the L&D manager of a luxury car manufacturer)

Our Story
By Jamie Butler
Imagine a business built on 1200 acres of beautiful land, with 400 cows supplying milk to a major supermarket, yet constantly struggling to turn a profit. That was very much us 5 years ago.
Now it would be lying to suggest that we have made a complete turnaround but with the help of frameworks, mindset shifts, leadership development and teamwork things are very different now to how they were then.
This is the story of a "Continuous change journey" of not just of a business but also of mindsets and teams. It's a story that you too can join to make an enormous difference in your work, life and business.
Meon Springs is a diversified business, with is roots in farming. It has been owned by the Butler family since 1930 and is currently run by Will and Jamie Butler. Will is a keen farmer and takes pride in growing crops to feed the cows in a long term sustainable way. Jamie has very much led the diversification of the business and oversees the farm finances and dairy herd.

Frameworks for Success
The first Framework for Success we set was in March 2020, when the farm set a new "Stretch Vision"
"To be The most productive farm in the UK - Naturally"!
When I announced this in a meeting, there was a deadly silent until someone piped up and said "What the xxxx! does that mean"?
This was the best question that could have been asked because it forced us, over the next few years, to define what exactly that meant. And to develop clear frameworks throughout the business to help us achieve that level of success.
These frameworks drew on tested tools, such as lean management and systems thinking and slowly but surely the vision filtered down through the business.
At the same time three mission statements were formed - to help achieve the vision - They were
"Optimise Inputs" an absolute essential in a farming business.
"Enhance Natural Assets" such as soil health as well as buildings, cows and people.
"Deliver fulfilling Experiences". And fulfilling experiences is not only to customers but also to our team, our cows and ourselves as business owners.
The business continued to evolve. Losses lessened, bank overdrafts disappeared and the needle started turning towards profit. However, there was still an enormous amount of stress for me as a business owner. I suffered from anxious thoughts on many mornings, which translated into bad habits like grinding teeth. My dentist bill was enormous.
Mindset Shifts
I have always been into personal development and interested in self change - but that didn't seem to be helping. A big change came when I discovered the way to make a mindset shift was less about trying to think positively all the time and more about accepting and observing thoughts objectively.
This opened me up to realise that my psychology doesn't need to rule my life. A game-changer in overcoming stress and it really helped me to be able to enjoy the challenges of farming life, regardless of circumstance.
Leadership Matters
Leadership skills, for me are something I continue to develop. Whether it's overcoming "Imposter Syndrome" or building competence and confidence.
I like to think of myself as a nice person - And therefore being tough doesn't come naturally.
The answer, I have found is don't try and become a perfect leader but more to be a good learner - noticing where I feel "Off" in leadership terms and trialing different approaches.
Leadership doesn't need to be an identity thing. I notice that what appears to be strong leadership is often strong and sometimes dangerous ego. Think Lance Armstrong, who duped his whole cycling team into drug enhancements to win the Tour de France for many years.
Dreamwork for Teamwork
The solution to Ego is Team. As they say, "There is no "I" in team", which means that on our farm everyone is enabled to take responsibility and leadership in their areas of the business and when Ego rears it's ugly head we are quick to reign it in and align back to team values.

Achievement Accelerators
Summary
(I speak from experience)
- Don't make everyone a leader unless you have good frameworks to enable people to pull together in the right direction.
- Make sure that your team is well supported for their better wellbeing. Help them to make mindset shifts for themselves, they will develop fast and be much more adaptable in your business.
- Teach everyone to lead in their own way.
- But more importantly, teach them leadership as part of the team.
That is the story behind why we have developed Achievement Accelerators and the story continues as we now begin to develop a community of Achievement Accelerators: People and businesses that are transforming themselves and supporting each other for positive gain - personally, for others and for the world!!
Our Approach
At Meon Springs, we believe business achievement is derived from developing what we call the achievement accelerators of aligning strategy, focusing mindset, developing leadership and creating coherent teams.
And we believe the way to doing that is most effective in person and in small groups out in the countryside doing practical things then reviewing and reflecting on them.
✨ Frameworks – Paths of least resistance to create natural flow to achieve your vision.
💡 Mindset Shifts – Unlocked fresh thinking and tools that reduce stress, and create flow.
⚡ Leadership – Well developed essential leadership to enable the vision to be achieved
🤝 Teamwork – Self-led teams for achievement with less concern.
At Meon Springs, we offer opportunities for people to truly learn and experience the Achievement Accelerators.Achievement Accelerators, our core programme is run throughout the year as an in person fully immersive exploration, blending workshops with dynamic indoor and outdoor activities at Meon Springs.You won’t just learn new approaches—you’ll live them, practice them, and feel the impact.
