Before joining Trade Mastermind, Mike from Dragon Security and Electrical described running his business as a difficult, lonely slog. Despite having 15 years of experience, he still felt like he was figuring it all out alone—and realising there were still key things he wasn’t doing right.
Since joining the programme, everything’s changed. Surrounded by mentors like Joe and Paul, and a group of business owners facing the same challenges, Mike now feels part of a community. “I’m not on my own now. It’s inspiring to meet others on the same journey.”
That support and clarity have already delivered results. His business recently submitted a £450,000 tender to a local council—an exciting opportunity—and just hit a record monthly turnover of £83,000, something they’d never done before.
The experience has been both eye-opening and motivating. Sitting next to a newer business owner, Mike realised they were both struggling with the same things—even after all his years in the industry. “It’s humbling, but it’s good because now I know exactly where I’ve been going wrong.”
For Mike, Trade Mastermind has been more than just a training course. “Honestly, it’s been a great experience. I’d love to say it’s life-changing. It really is.”
