Following the success of our Thoroughbred Business Breakfasts in 2025 and 2026, I am delighted to announce our next event… 📅 Wednesday 2nd September | Newmarket There are networking events… and then there are experiences. The Thoroughbred Business Breakfast is an exclusive opportunity to step behind the scenes of one of Britain’s most prestigious industries, opening doors that are rarely available to the public. This is your chance to: Be welcomed into the historic, private members’ club, The Jockey Club Rooms, for an unforgettable morning. Travel to the famous Warren Hill Gallops in the heart of Newmarket, where a leading trainer will guide you through the history of this iconic training ground while you watch racehorses exercising. Return to The Jockey Club Rooms to enjoy a full breakfast around one beautifully laid table, giving you the opportunity to connect with fellow business owners and leaders, share ideas, build relationships and gain a fascinating insight into the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry. You will also enjoy a private tour of the Rooms, discovering their remarkable history, art and heritage. Visit an exclusive international breeding farm, home to some of the world’s most valuable stallions, for a private behind-the-scenes experience. Finish the day at Tattersalls, where you will witness the excitement of a live bloodstock auction from the world-famous Park Paddocks sales ring and experience an atmosphere unlike any other. This is more than a networking event. It is an opportunity to go where most people cannot, learn what few people ever experience, and leave inspired by an industry built on passion, excellence and tradition. Whether you have an interest in racing or simply enjoy unique business experiences, this is a day that will stay with you long after it ends. 📅 Wednesday 2nd September 📍 Newmarket 💷 £249 per person 25% discount for bookings of four or more people.

On yourself: It’s been proven that Every conversation you have with yourself is literally changing your brain… ...make sure you are making the right cuts I love this concept and have used it for years but it’s great to hear an actual brain surgeon talk about it https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbk3UE1sezv/?igsh=MWdseGszMXY5MDg4cg==

Here's why: The Growth Syndicate said nothing. It could have been anything. A property fund. A marketing agency. A crypto scheme, probably. Here's what this room actually is. Every serious business has a board. Not because it's a legal box to tick. Because nobody sees their own business clearly. You need people who've already made the mistake you're about to make. People who'll tell you the truth when everyone around you is on your payroll and can't. A proper board costs £hundreds of thousands a year. Most owner-managed businesses will never have one. So they run blind, and then wonder why year eight looks a lot like year four. That's what this is. The board you can't yet afford. Nothing else changes. Same sessions, same days, same library, same people. Same me telling you things you'd rather not hear. One thing is new. From now on, when someone joins at VIP, I record them a teardown of their own business. Theirs, by name. The good, the bad and the ugly. Then we fix it together... and some of our weekly BOARD zooms and classrooms will feature our Expert board members for: Finance People Sales & Lead Gen Marketing PR (yes it is different to Marketing IMO) Operations Stress & Burnout Legal (All areas) Investment and financial legacy ETC ETC Welcome to The Board.

How often do you rely on discounting or price promotions to win new clients, and is it actually helping you build a sustainable business long-term? Procter & Gamble (P&G) recently took a very firm stance on this. Despite a sharp rise in promotional discounting across Europe, they are refusing to play that game. Instead, they’re doubling down on winning through product superiority, innovation, and strategic communications. Their CFO, Andre Schulten, put it bluntly: “We don’t believe that promotion, in any way, shape or form, is a way to build the business or to acquire users on a sustainable basis.” This got me thinking about how we approach this in our own businesses: - If you agree with P&G: How are you currently communicating your unique value clearly enough to your target market so you don't have to compete on price? - If you disagree: Why? What kinds of discounting or promotional strategies have actually worked for your business long-term? Curious to hear where everyone lands on this!
