Every week inside The Growth Syndicate on SKOOL We release a new masterclass. Not theory. Not opinions. Real systems from people who have done it at scale. There are already dozens in there. Built from conversations and podcasts With experts, millionaires, deca-millionaires, centa-millionaires, and billionaires. Their behaviours. Their decision-making. Their systems. Distilled down into: → Actionable insights → Implementable frameworks → Things you can actually plug into your business This week’s masterclass is from Oliver Woolley. I’ve sat on investment panels with Oliver. He runs one of the most successful investment panels in the UK: Envestors They have raised billions of pounds For thousands of businesses. This session is all about: → How to make your business attractive to investors → How to position your business for buyers → How investors actually think, not how founders guess This insight alone could: → Double the value of your business → Transform how you structure your company → Sharpen your pitch decks overnight → Make you investable to HNWIs and institutions But here’s the truth. The value is already there. The insight is already available. It only works if you: → Read it → Act on it → Implement it Knowledge unused is just noise. If you want to build a business that attracts capital Rather than chases it This one matters. https://www.skool.com/thegrowthsyndicate/classroom/e8a00b2c?md=c0c3d67582a348b8bc0cd3c6bfc0d355

Most salespeople do not lose deals at the start. They lose them at the end. It usually sounds like this: “I’ll leave that with you, shall I?” “Let me know once you’ve had a look.” “I’ll give you a couple of days to think about it.” “No rush, just come back to me when you’re ready.” Sometimes it is triggered by the buyer saying: “Let me think about it.” “I need to run it past someone.” “I am not quite sure yet.” What happens next? The salesperson backs off. Hands over control. And walks away. Not because the deal is wrong. But because they are uncomfortable asking one final question. The biggest single impact I have had on SME growth is teaching people this discipline: Close in the meeting. One clear question. One decision point. One moment of courage. When people learn to do that, properly, turnover often doubles. Same leads. Same pitch. Different outcome. Learn to close. Or accept that braver people will close the deals you worked for. Be honest. Do you ask for the order, Or do you soften it and step away?

People Want Respect. Some Demand It. Some Expect It. And to be fair, everyone deserves to feel respected. But here’s what I’ve noticed after mentoring thousands of people. Most people don’t respect themselves.: I can see it in their eyes. In their hesitation. In their questions. In the way they apologise for taking up space. At some point, something happened. A comment. A failure. A betrayal. A moment where confidence quietly leaked away. And respect went with it. Ask yourself this. When did you stop respecting yourself? What did you allow to define you? What story did you accept that was never true? Now try something different. Look at yourself through the eyes of: → Your child → Your mother → Your best friend They don’t see your mistakes. They don’t see your inner critic. They see someone who is enough. Someone worthy. Someone still becoming. Yes, we can all improve behaviours. Yes, we can be more focused, disciplined, consistent, honest. But those are behaviours. They are not who you are. Change behaviours by all means. Set goals. Raise standards. But start with self respect. Because here’s the quiet truth. People take their cue from you. They feel your self respect before they hear your words. It’s hard to respect someone who does not respect themselves. Not because they are unworthy. But because energy speaks louder than language. As Eleanor Roosevelt said: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” And Carl Jung put it even more plainly: “The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.” Respect does not start with others. It starts with the relationship you have with yourself. That relationship sets the tone for everything else. Take care of it.

Hi All, been a minute, been locked away for a few weeks, head down cracking on, hope I havent missed too much, but been focused the charge forwards. Over the last couple of weeks, had a lot of interest in my project, Monday im recording a tv show episode and fingers crossed if that goes well, the world in my 'lobster!!' . Also US agencies took a lot of interest in what im doing and so have join the 'Fraud Fight' - quite a privilege, as only a handful of british companies are part of this. So, thats why i've been quiet, today was my d-Day for launch, but a little behind it can wait until Tuesday, my MVP is solid, In the market nothing even comes close to what i've put together - its so blisteringly fast its unreal. And i've also been successful in securing the widest access to community review phone data across the world and thats a huge win and sets the tone, my police deal is still taking a while to come to fruition, they dont halve drag their heels!!!!! Also - created a tiktok channel https://www.tiktok.com/@scamadvisory/video/7597992879352466710?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7597985930267510294 - Missed a trick about publishing early in the journey - but now playing catch up. How are you wonderful people doing - hope you are all well, and winning in 2026?

Most entrepreneurs build a job. A few build wealth. The top 1% change the game entirely. The top 1% earn more in a week Than the average entrepreneur earns in a year. ...and many exit for Massive £multi-million exits Same market. Different behaviours. Over the last 40 years, I have spent my life studying behaviour. I have read hundreds of books, worked directly with thousands of business owners, and analysed the patterns behind those who scale versus those who stall. Alongside building and exiting my own businesses, Across 20 counties and exiting after the Secret Millionaire TV programme I have been awarded a Doctorate in Education, Am a certified specialist in behavioural profiling, and had the privilege of working closely with entrepreneurs who have gone on to become: - millionaires, - decamillionaires, - centamillionaires, and even - billionaires. What became clear is this. The difference is not intelligence. It is not effort. It is not background or luck. It is BEHAVIOUR. The same behavioural patterns separate Those who make a living From those who sell businesses for £100 million plus. The same behaviours separate Those who feel trapped by their business From those with global freedom, choice, and control. Tomorrow night, is our Growth Syndicate open mentoring session where I will break down the 10 behaviours that consistently separate elite performers from everyone else. No theory. No hype. Just real patterns, clearly explained. ...and your opportunity to ask questions If you are building a business and want more than just a living, I would encourage you to be there. Tomorrow night.6.30pm Open mentoring session. Link in Skool calendar. Mike
