After nearly 36 years in the Royal Air Force , Dave Tait swapped frontline service and senior roles in Whitehall for a very different mission, taking a step back to reflect, reset, and start again.

Today, he’s combining executive coaching with the power of the outdoors, helping others build confidence, resilience and clarity through retreat-style experiences.

As the days get longer and time outside feels more inviting, Dave’s journey is a reminder that a new chapter can start anywhere.

Self‑employment and “side hustles” are no longer niche. Recent research shows that 46% of UK adults now earn income through a side venture, primarily to manage rising living costs.

The Office for National Statistics also reports 1.32 million people holding a second job in 2025, reinforcing the shift toward diversified income.

Self-employment can be a powerful route to stability for members of the Armed Forces community but only when people are supported to do it properly, confidently, and legally. Making informed decisions from the outset.

Our Self Employment Discovery Workshops are a powerful, one-day virtual workshop created for veterans, reservists, military partners, and family members who are curious about self-employment but want clarity before committing.

Join our next one on the 9th June 2026: https://x-forces.zohobackstage.eu/Self-EmploymentDiscoveryVirtualWorkshop20

Our founder and CEO Ren Kapur MBE will be joining our upcoming Business Awareness Workshop for Military Partners and Spouses on June 3rd as a guest speaker being led by our facilitator Sarah Walker.

Military spouses and partners bring so much talent, resilience and lived experience often shaped around the realities of service life and this programme is designed to help turn that into enterprise, freelancing and portfolio career opportunities.

A previous participant shared:
“An excellent experience and a real confidence boost… practical, relevant, and helped me move forward with clarity and confidence. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the early stages of starting a business, it gave the tools to immediately apply to my own business planning”
Whether you are thinking about starting a business or simply exploring what might be possible, this is a space designed for you.
