EIGHT AVOIDABLE MISTAKES :: 52 WEEK FREE PROGRAMME :: NO FLUFF, NO BULLSHIT :: REAL BUSINESS LEARNED THE HARD WAY
---- T H E B O O K B E H I N D E V E R Y T H I N G
The Book You Won't WANT To Read. But NEED To.
This is not a business manual. It's a true story, the story of how Scotland's largest independent chain of print centres collapsed on its 20th birthday. Half a million pounds in the bank, a £1.4m property portfolio, an Aston Martin, a helicopter... it was the "illusion" of wealth.
Then: eight avoidable mistakes, a perfect storm, and the administrators. In that order.
Every mistake I made, you are probably making right now. None of them are obvious. All of them are avoidable. And all of them are in this book.

What Are People Talking About?
I have been running my own business for over 10years now and I took away numerous nuggets that I will be implementing in my business.
Cost me £9.99 and 1 week of reading but I believe will add value of tens of thousands of pounds....actually scrap that..... some of the things in this book may just save MY business one day!
I cannot explain how refreshing I found this book. Often business books talk all about what you HAVE to do for a successful business - well this book flips that on its head. The author is so honest about ALL the mistakes made in his business that you cannot help but sit up and take notice. Lot's of humour and examples thrown in for good measure makes this a really readable book. Totally recommend to anyone on a business journey.
A business book that makes you smile and laugh out loud. Sound business advice delivered with honesty, humility and humour.
Stuart is refreshingly honest about the mistakes he made first time round and I think they are mistakes that any of us could/would make/are making. With this book Stuart gives us the opportunity to be "wiser" and learn from his experiences.
REAL BUSINESS LEARNED THE HARD WAY :: DON'T GET VALUE-DON'T PAY :: AMAZON #1 BEST SELLER
01 Growing Too Fast, Too Soon
Planned, moderate growth is the real key to success, but no one wants to get rich slowly anymore.
02 Becoming The Business
If it can't run without you, you don't own a business, you own a job... no matter how much it pays you.
03 Ignoring The Early Warning Signs
Success masks the cracks every single time. It's difficult to see the mistakes when everything "looks" perfect.
04 Not Empowering Your Team
A great team is only a great team if you encourage, support and train that team. Effective delegation is key.
05 No Exit Plan. Tomorrow Never Comes
Every business should be built to sell, whether or not you intend to... you still build it that way.
06 Not Knowing Your Numbers
It's not about turnover of even profit, it's the numbers that DRIVE turnover and profit.. It's the numbers behind them.
07 Building ON A Foundation Of Sand
Solid and proven systems that are always £1m ahead of where your business is will prevent you building on a foundation of sand.
08 Just Being A Dick
I am open an honest about this, arrogance and complacency killed my business. I went from being the businesses biggest asset to becoming it's biggest liability. I never saw it.
Eight Mistakes...
All Of Them Avoidable
All Of Them Hiding In Plan Sight
None of the eight mistakes that wrecked my business were obvious. In isolation, not one would have been more than a minor inconvenience. Together, they built the perfect storm. And they did it invisibly, while I was winning.

I am not a business coach. I didn't read about this in a textbook. This isn't theory from books, it's hard LEARNINGS that BECAME books.
I lived it, lost it, and rebuilt, and I can show you, without theory or waffle, exactly what to watch for in your business right now.

If You Don't Get Value
You Don't Pay Me A PENNY.
That is not small print. That is how every paid course works. You either get real, usable, tangible value from working with me.. or we shake hands and you owe me absolutely nothing. It's that simple.
