Poll: Online or IRL? What are you building? 🚀
I want to make sure we’re providing the exact help you need. I’m not here posing with a rented Lamborghini trying to sell you a generic "blueprint." I’ve done all the things and don't have to work any more. I can help you if you want the same. I'm really not a good bragger, but I'll attempt to demonstrate that I really know what I'm talking about... My journey started at rock bottom and led to building real-world business assets - from my early graphic design / printing business and toy store chains in Devon and Cornwall with muti-channel e-commerce sales, to our current manufacturing gifts brand. Along the way, we’ve coded our own bespoke CRM systems (well before AI made it easy), I have partnerships with several other businesses from micro-bakeries to wool shops. and we've grown an expanding property portfolio of houses, shops, and holiday lets, (in fact, we're buying two more shops right now) and I've enjoyed every minute of building this life. If I listened to the "gurus" I'd have chosen one thing, and "focused" and had "one boring offer" blah blah... This is not what true entrepreneurs do - I've got loads of exciting things going on - always have, always will! Entrepreneurs just do whatever excites them - whatever they want to do, and run with it! 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻, 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁! 𝗡𝗼-𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻! 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝘁𝗼, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢! I’ve seen the "zero-capital" mindset work at every level, and where I have weaknesses (yes, we ALL have strengths AND weaknesses!), our Resident Experts fill the gaps. Whether you’re launching a mobile valeting service, a digital marketing agency, or a handmade furniture brand, between us all, we can help you tailor a plan to move forward without putting any of your own money at risk. 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄: Tell me exactly what the business is (e.g., "A local plumbing firm" or "A Shopify store for eco-toys") and what is currently stopping you from getting it off the ground.

Getting the messaging right, the onboarding flow easier and then finding the right people
Anyone else up working late?
What's everyone else working on tonight? I'm outlining training modules.

@Roy Houston That is early, but I bet things are quieter then.
How's your weekend going?
I'm loving this weather ..🌞 After spending the day with my mum for her birthday yesterday and a lovely late night social catch up yesterday evening with some friends, in their garden, we headed straight to the beach this morning for that swim and the sea was just gorgeous! I didn't even swim.. Just floated around bobbing up and down in the waves with my daughter before dropping her to a sleepover. Then home for a nap, and a beautiful home cooked meal alfresco in the garden, where afterwards my wife and I just lay on the lawn staring at up at the birds in the sky, followed by watching Enola Holmes with the doors wide open. Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Feel free to share some pictures if you like.

@Adam McCollough that's a good way to turn around energy. Thank you for the reminder
I Need Your Advice: Help Me Build Our Next Step
Last night I sat down for a raw strategy session with Goose Dunlavey to pull apart my coaching offer and pricing. If you know me, you know I don't believe in generic "blueprints". I believe every business requires a specific action plan based on your unique skills and resources. Normally, my 1:1 coaching rate is £300 ($400) an hour. But I want to package my brain, my problem-solving, and my experience into an offer that actually fits our "Start a Business with No Money" ethos, while still giving you the high-level mentorship you need to break through your roadblocks. I originally had a plan to launch a $97 and $297 tier. But Goose told me that multiple offers can cut conversions in HALF (He knows Skool a lot better than me). He challenged me to drop the tiers entirely and offer a single, flat-rate $600/month mastermind strictly capped at 20 people to ensure that I am able and willing to deliver the best attention you deserve, so everyone gets massive results. Now, I'm torn... You are the Builders of this community, and you are the heartbeat of this clubhouse. I don't want to guess what you need, so I'm asking you directly. If you were to upgrade to get more direct help from me, which of these three models would you most likely sign up for, and why? These are just EXAMPLES of what the final offer/s could look like: (Please be brutally honest. I won't hold you to it, and nobody is pulling out a credit card today! I just genuinely value your opinion and want to create an offer that works for us all!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option 1: The "Hot Seat" Group Tier ($97 / month) - The Vibe: Cheaper, larger group setting where you learn from others' challenges. - What you get: Weekly live focus group sessions where we do "Business Teardowns". You might get a quick 5-10 minute hot seat to let my ADHD-powered brain solve your immediate problem. Plus, you get full access to my paid Substack vault, the resource library, and a 20% discount if you ever want to book a 1:1 call with me.

Courses are not super meaningful at this point, too many to still do, not enough time. Direct feedback in sort sessions where I do not have to wait an hour is probably most valuable. So I'd say a 15 minute hot seat per month in a group setting would be most useful at this stage

@Adam McCollough exactly, like I would be far more likely to buy a 15 minute hot seat in front of a group than course access
Inspiration
I went to a business speaker panel last week and something stuck with me. All 4 entrepreneurs on stage said sometimes it takes 9 "no's" to get a "yes". For all of you out there in the "no" phase, there's hope for a "yes" keep going. ❤️

@Mohammad Sakib Mia yes, actually I've gotten where I actually try to mock something up, toss it out for questions and then repeat. If there's at least something there I get better answers. How about you?

I'm building something extraordinary through collaboration, support and a lot of learning. I'm looking for similar people to connect with.
