MORE ABOUT MIKE

I built my first business in my twenties. Then I lost everything.

I grew up on council estates, started a business too young, scaled too fast, and went bankrupt. My wife and I ended up delivering pizzas on mopeds in Hertfordshire just to keep the lights on.

I rebuilt through corporate roles at Shell and Conoco Jet, running operations across 16 European countries. Then I bought a small research consultancy called "him!" with Tom Fender. We grew it into a global business - UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand - advising over 100 of the world's biggest retailers at board level. We sold to William Reed in 2011 for eight figures.

WHAT I LEARNED

WHAT FAILURE
TAUGHT ME

Most businesses don't have a strategy. They have a to-do list.
Growth without structure just creates a bigger mess.
The owner is almost always the bottleneck - and the last to see it.
Advice from people who've never built anything is worthless.
Clarity comes first. Then strategy. Then execution. In that order.
You don't need to work harder. You need to work on the right things.
Nobody builds something lasting alone.

HOW I THINK

Success Is a System. Not a Secret.

The principles behind every business I've built, invested in, or mentored.

Clarity
Before Strategy.

Most business owners are busy solving the wrong problems. Before we talk tactics, we get brutally clear on where you are, where you're going, and what's actually in the way.

Systems
Beat Hustle.

Hard work without structure is just expensive chaos. I help you build the systems that let your business grow without you holding every piece together.
