Why Board of Advisors

This Is Why It Works

DATA-DRIVEN

As a member you will be required to know your numbers inside and out. All strategic decisions will be based on accurate data.

Accountability

You will be held to a higher standard of accountability by your peers. Becoming a better business owner is not optional.

Strategic Hot SeatS

You will present your plans, problems, failures and successes to be critiqued and advised by  your peers.

MEMBER BENEFITS

Stop Being The Smartest Person In The Room

As a business owner, it is essential to recognize that no one has all the answers (even you). It’s often the case that the most successful business owners are the ones who actively seek out advice and ideas from those who are more accomplished than themselves. Open yourself up to a wealth of knowledge and experience that can help you grow and develop your business. Surrounding yourself with people who are as smart or smarter leads to greater innovation and more successful outcomes.

Quarterly boardroom meetings

You are faced with a multitude of challenges on a daily basis, from navigating market shifts to dealing with employee issues. That’s why it’s important to surround yourself with a network of experienced business owners who can help guide you through these challenges. Enter the Board of Advisors.

The Board of Advisors is a small, exclusive group of experienced business owners who meet regularly in a boardroom setting to discuss their businesses. Each member brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, having faced similar challenges in their own businesses. The group provides a supportive environment for business owners to discuss their issues and strategize on how to solve them. 

One of the key benefits of being part of a Board of Advisors is having access to a group of experienced business owners who can help you strategize and guard against bad business ideas. When you present an idea to the group, they will provide honest feedback, based on their own experiences, and offer suggestions for improvement. This allows you to get an outside perspective on your ideas and provides an opportunity to refine them before you move forward.

It’s easy to get caught up in day-to-day operations and lose sight of your long-term goals. However, when you are part of a group of like-minded business owners who are all striving for success, it creates a sense of accountability. This can be a powerful motivator, pushing you to stay focused on your goals and providing the support you need to achieve them.

Board of Advisors allows you to tap into the collective knowledge and expertise of other successful business owners.

Personal Overview of Financial Documents

You are constantly focused on growing your business, meeting deadlines, and delivering products or services to your customers. This makes it easy to overlook the importance of financial planning and management. That’s where Dan can help. By reviewing your financial documents, he will gain the clarity needed to spot risks and opportunities within your business.

Dan can provide valuable insights into your business by reading the numbers. He will analyze your financial statements, cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting reports to determine where your business stands financially. This will help you identify areas that need improvement, such as reducing expenses and increasing profit.

Often, profit margins can be dramatically increased without additional hiring or marketing, simply by making strategic changes to the business based on financial documents.

Moreover, Dan will also help you create a financial plan that aligns with your business goals. He will help you develop a budget and financial forecast that takes into account your revenue and expenses. This can help you make informed decisions about how to allocate resources and plan for the future.

Straightforward Feedback

Running a business can be a challenging and rewarding experience. However, it can also be lonely at times, especially when it comes to making important decisions that affect the future of your company. That’s where a Board of Advisors can be an invaluable resource.

Your Board of Advisors will provide critical feedback and guidance on your strategic plan. This feedback is often direct and straightforward, leaving no room for sugarcoating or beating around the bush. It may require developing thick skin because sometimes the truth hurts. But the end result is that you will receive honest feedback that is easy to follow and understand, helping you become a better business owner and make your business more profitable.

Your Board of Advisors will provide a fresh perspective on your business. It’s easy to become immersed in the day-to-day operations and lose sight of the bigger picture. Your group will help you step back and take a more objective look at your business, identifying areas for improvement and providing guidance on how to address them.

Perhaps most importantly, the Board will hold you accountable for your actions. As a business owner, it can be easy to get sidetracked by day-to-day tasks and lose focus on your long-term goals. A Board of Advisors can help you stay on track, providing feedback and holding you accountable for achieving your goals.

2 Hour Spotlight On Your Business

The hot seat is an opportunity for you, the business owner, to present your strategic plan to the Board of Advisors for two full hours. During this time, you can ask any questions, present any problems or situations you need help with, and receive feedback and guidance from the Board of Advisors.

The hot seat is a unique opportunity for business owners to receive honest and direct feedback on their strategic plan and business operations. It’s a chance to get a fresh perspective from experienced professionals who have faced similar challenges in their own businesses.

During your two hours in the hot seat, you will have the full attention of the Board of Advisors. They will listen carefully to your presentation and provide feedback and guidance on how to improve your strategic plan and operations. This feedback can range from broad strokes to specific details, depending on what you present and the areas where you need the most help.

The hot seat can be a daunting prospect for some business owners, but it’s important to remember that the Board of Advisors is there to help you. They are not there to judge or criticize you, but rather to offer constructive feedback and guidance that will help you make your business more profitable.

Quarterly Executive Summaries

Did you know that the preparation work you do as a member can be worth the price of admission alone?

Every quarter, before the Board of Advisors meets, members are required to take a deep dive into their business operations and financials. This prep work can take up to a half day when you’re just getting started, but the benefits are well worth the effort.

Firstly, this prep work forces you to know your business better than ever before. By analyzing your financial documents, creating a strategic plan, and completing an executive summary of what you’ve done in the last quarter, you gain a deeper understanding of your business operations, strengths, and weaknesses.

This deep dive into your business can also help you identify areas where you can make strategic changes to improve your bottom line. You may discover opportunities to cut costs, increase efficiency, or optimize your operations in ways you had not previously considered.

Moreover, this prep work keeps you accountable. It can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day operations and neglect strategic planning. However, with the Board of Advisors, you are required to work on your business every quarter and keep your financial documents up to date.

This accountability can help prevent bad habits of only working in your business and not on your business. By focusing on the big picture, you can ensure that you are making the best decisions for the long-term success of your business.

DB Diagnostics

It’s important to keep track of your progress and make data-driven decisions. This is where DB Diagnostics comes in, a special software tool that allows you to input your business metrics and perform trend analysis reports.

With DB Diagnostics, you can easily track your business’s progress over time, identify areas of improvement, and make informed decisions based on data. The software allows you to input a variety of metrics, including revenue, profit, expenses, customer acquisition costs, and more.

Once you’ve input your metrics, the software generates trend analysis reports that allow you to see how your business is performing over time. These reports can be viewed in a variety of formats, including charts, graphs, and tables, making it easy to visualize your business’ progress.

With trend analysis reports, you can identify trends, make predictions, benchmark your performance, and ultimately make your business stronger and more successful. 

24 Hour Community Access

Membership to the Board of Advisors comes with access to a private Facebook group filled with successful 7 and 8 figure business owners.

The private Facebook group is a place where members can ask questions, seek advice, and share their wins and losses with a community of like-minded individuals. The group is available 24/7, so members can get help at a moment’s notice.

One of the most valuable aspects of the private Facebook group is the ability to collaborate with other successful business owners. Members can share their experiences and insights with one another, providing a unique opportunity to learn from others who have faced similar challenges.

The private Facebook group also provides a platform for members to get reviews and referrals from their peers. When members are looking for a service or product, they can turn to the group to get recommendations from other successful business owners.

Member qualifications

It’s Who’s NOT ALLOWED That Makes The Difference

The quality of a group is not just determined by who is allowed to join, but also by who is not. The Board of Advisors is a group that has extremely high standards, and as such, not everyone is eligible to become a member. Start-ups, for instance, are not allowed to join the group. By having such strict criteria, the group is able to maintain a high level of expertise and ensure that each member is able to contribute meaningfully to the group. This helps to create a community of like-minded individuals who are all committed to achieving success in their businesses.

Each member must meet at least five of the seven criteria set by the group to ensure that they meet the high standards required.

Testimonials

What Our Members Are Saying

“The business is flourishing. We are turning over around about three and a half to 4 million, and making about one and a half million profit.”

When I first met Dan, my business was probably six months old. I was probably turning over in the region of £50-£60,000.  Today the business is flourishing. We are turning over around about three and a half to 4 million, and making about one and a half million profit.

The reason why I’m here today is because I needed what I described to somebody recently as a business Botox injection. And I find that Dan gives me the best Botox. I find that there are times when I need to come back to Dan’s space and get re-injected with fresh vision, fresh strategic input, and a little bit of a whip, in a sense, to bring myself back on track. Refresh my vision, do something special, and so I came here.

I’ve always opted for the Private Mastermind. I find that it’s the specific space I need to really focus on my business, my balance sheet, my P&L. Now, I know that different people need different things, but for me as a bigger business owner and somebody that cares about really getting that right, that PMM’s huge for me.

“What I love about being in the mastermind is that I’m only one phone call away from having any problem solved.”

For someone that’s contemplating signing up for the mastermind program, I’d say if you need to have a better business, then you need to be a better business owner. What I love about being in the mastermind is that I’m only one phone call away from having any problem solved. I can have the education that I need, the books that I need to read, the advice that I need. There’s pretty much somebody in the mastermind who has already experienced any problem or any challenge that I’m having in my business. It’s all in the sharing. When you hear what other people are going through, you’re just learning so much all the time, and that’s what I love. And also being around like-minded people, which I don’t necessarily have every day in my everyday world.

When I first joined Dan’s mastermind I was in a completely different business, a business that wasn’t healthy for me, for my mindset, for my finances. It just wasn’t right for me. With the coaching that I got from Dan, from the group of masterminders that I met with every quarter, I was chivvied along to make the right decision for me. They had the objectivity that was required, and the non-emotional state, and were able to see things that I had complete blind spots on. I was really grateful for that. And since letting go, shall we say, of that business, which was just before COVID, I have since thrived beyond belief. If you’d said to me a year ago that I’d have six figures in the bank now, and I wouldn’t be stressing about money, and I’d be having a nice time, I would’ve thought you were completely insane.

Today I’m in a much better place, mindset, financially, business wise with direction, and I wake up excited every day to work on my business. I even won Masterminder of the Quarter last quarter as a result of relaunching what was my side hustle into a very successful business.

“Profit wise we were making half a million at the time when I first joined Dan…

Fast forward to where we are today and last year was just under two and a half million in clear profit”

Before Mastermind our annual revenue was just under a million.  And I was actually with Dan on a consulting day the day that I hit one million in revenue for the very first time. Profit wise we were making half a million at the time when I first joined Dan. Fast forward to where we are today and last year was just under two and a half million in clear profit.

So what would I tell somebody that is thinking about joining Mastermind? I would tell them you must be absolutely crazy to think that you can build a business on your own. Being involved in Mastermind is the easiest way to grow –  the leverage that you get, the ideas, the momentum, the advice, the hallway conversations are often worth the admission alone. For me, being in Mastermind is always about being around successful people.

“We were doing revenues significantly under £200,000 and we were making a loss…

We’ve got to a point now where we’re starting to push to the seven figures and 30% profit margins.”

When we first started in the program we only had one employee and now we’re a team of 12. I’ve learned so much through the program. It’s helped me to build a team with really great talent.  Back in 2015, when I first joined Dan’s program, we were doing revenues significantly under £200,000 and we were making a loss. I felt like we weren’t going to be big enough for the program but it’s been amazing over the years. Very quickly we got to a point of making profit. We’ve since been growing about 40% year on year. We’ve got to a point now where we’re starting to push to the seven figures and 30% profit margins.

If there was someone that was considering the program, I’d say that for myself and other business owners it has been instrumental in helping identify the key things that they need to do differently to get different results. Whether that’s really understanding the numbers and working out what’s actually making them money, whether it’s helping them to grow their top line and identify what are the processes and practices that they’re not doing currently and need to be, or even just changing their mindset so that they’re able to think differently and grow their business successfully.

I’ve seen it work for so many people now that anyone who is having second thoughts about it really shouldn’t. I’ve learned so many things over the years working with Dan. If I had to pick one thing, which is basically impossible, early on I would say it was definitely getting on top of the numbers. In recent years it has been the mindset expansion and changing the way I think about myself as a business owner.  The program has been amazing.

“I’ve gone from -4% net profit to 37% profit in four years, and it’s been unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable”

Before joining mastermind I was losing money and I didn’t have a grasp of my numbers at all. I didn’t understand, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. And when I look back now, I’m astounded at actually what I didn’t know as an entrepreneur.

I’ve gone from -4% net profit to 37% profit in four years, and it’s been unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. First question is to ask yourself is how serious you are about your business? If you are serious about your business and you’re stuck or you want to move the needle or you want to move it forward I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend the mastermind program because the change has been phenomenal.
