Think Tank
The salary‑free, commission‑free, non‑exec board you really can afford.
Step out of firefighting and into a boardroom of peers who help
You build a business that Runs, Grows and One‑day you can Exit.
A 12‑month, in‑person Business Mastermind in Warrington, Cheshire.
For established UK business owners who are still the primary decision maker.
The Think Tank
Where accidentally successful business owners become deliberate leaders
There’s a moment in every growing business where you realise the problem isn’t
“out there” anymore.
You’ve got the revenue.
You’ve got the team.
On paper, it’s working.
And yet, you’re still the one everyone runs to when things wobble.
That’s the moment you need a Think Tank, not another tactics course.
What this really is (and isn’t)
This isn’t a hype‑fuelled members’ club where the loudest voice wins, or everyone’s secretly pitching each other.
It’s a true mastermind: a room where multiple sharp, experienced business brains combine to create answers no one person could reach alone.
The Think Tank is a 12‑month, in‑person business mastermind for 6 & 7 figure business owners who:
Are either still the primary fee earner or at least the matriarch/patriarch of the business.
Find that every major decision still bottlenecks at their desk.
Know the business could scale further, if they weren’t always the one holding it all together.
One full day a month, in Warrington, where you step out of the noise and into a boardroom of peers who get the weight you carry.
And are committed to growing together, not competing to be heard.
Hi, I'm Jay, a former specialist Rapid Deployment Soldier, turned multi‑exit business owner.
With an MSc in International Business Ethics, as well as listed in the UK POWER 100,
and 2 x Global Big Impact Award winner for ethical business impact.
Why I buit this:
Before I was became a mentor, I served as a specialist Rapid Deployment Soldier in the British Army.
In that world, you learn two things very quickly:
1. You never go into the field alone.
2. Chaos isn’t the enemy; being unprepared is.
They are short of:
1. A safe, sharp room of peers at their level.
2. A strategic “battle rhythm” that turns good intentions into disciplined execution.
3. A way to build People, Systems and Processes so the business can grow without consuming more of them.
I’ve spent almost a decade running mastermind groups for established business owners, and the results speak louder than I ever could...
Ten of our clients have reached the national finals of 'Entrepreneur of the Year' awards, with four winning their category as a direct result of the work done in the room.
Think Tank isn’t a new experiment,
It’s the next evolution of a model
that has already helped owners turn day-to-day firefighting into scalable, award‑winning companies.
Consider The Think Tank as a World-Class Board, you genuinely can afford!
From “Battlefield Chaos”
to "Boardroom Command"
Most support for established owners falls into two unhelpful extremes:
1. High‑level inspiration with no operational teeth.
2. Hyper‑tactical “do this on LinkedIn” advice that ignores the bigger game.
In the Think Tank, we intentionally work on both Strategy and Tactics in a way that reflects the realities of command.
Strategy - Your Battle HQ.
Across 12 months, we’ll keep cycling through a strategic cadence using concepts such as:
Battleplan: Clarifying the campaign you’re really fighting over the next 12–24 months.
Field Orders: Deciding what actually gets done, by whom, and by when.
Contact – Wait Out: How you respond when the market hits back, without losing your head or your values.
QM Stores: Knowing what resources you truly have, and how to allocate them intelligently.
Battalion Strength: Understanding your people, their strengths, and where you’re under‑ or over‑resourced.
Promotions Board: Who needs to grow, shift role, or step up so you don’t always have to.
Tactics - Your day-to-day Toolbox
We frame everything Tactical through six core lenses:
Mindset: Shifting from heroic doer to strategic commander without losing your heart.
Marketing: Finding your blue ocean and communicating in a way that fits your values, not just “what’s trending”.
Sales: Building reliable, ethical sales processes that work even when you’re not in the room.
Operations: Embedding systems and processes that reduce chaos and dependency on you.
Finance: Understanding the story your numbers are telling, and how to add zeros without adding sleepless nights.
Team: Building people who own problems and opportunities, instead of waiting for your permission.
This isn't Theory.
Each month, we apply these to real, live situations in your business.
So you can leave not just inspired, but clear on what changes to make
between this month and reporting back the results the next.

Who this is (and isn't) for
If you’re still the main fee earner or decision bottleneck
and you care about ethics, impact and long‑term thinking,
This room is built with you in mind.
This is a perfect fit, if:
You’re still the main fee earner or decision bottleneck, and know that has to change.
You value ethics, impact and long‑term thinking, not just “how fast can we cash out”.
You’re willing to both GIVE and RECEIVE. To share openly, challenge constructively, and be challenged in return.
Not for you if:
You’re pre‑revenue, a solopreneur, MLM, or a franchisee looking for a plug‑and‑play model.
You see groups primarily as prospecting pools. This is not a room to pitch from or sell into.
You’re looking for a quick fix or a shiny “hack”, rather than a disciplined year of strategic work.
Think of this as your salary‑free, commission‑free non‑executive board.
A place where people will tell you the truth,
help you see what you can’t see,
and stand with you while you implement.

How we 'protect' you
(and the room)
Because this is about the collective, not just the individual, we’re deliberate about who joins.
The process
1. Register your interest using the form below.
2. We’ll schedule a 1:1 conversation to explore your business, your goals, and whether the Think Tank is the right place for you.
3. If we both agree it’s a fit, you’ll receive an invitation to join and the payment options.
4. Once confirmed, we’ll onboard you so you hit the ground running.
Your first session
I respect those who invest in being in the room,
and the fact that until you’ve experienced it, you can’t fully know if this is for you.
Attend your first session and be fully engaged.
If, at the end of the day, you genuinely feel it’s not the right environment for you, we’ll have an honest conversation about what's next , whether that’s moving into 1:1 work or shaking hands and parting ways.
If you chose the annual single‑pay option and decide not to continue, we’ll refund you promptly, minus the cost of attending that first meeting.
This isn’t a free “try before you buy”, but it isn’t a trap either.
It’s an adult agreement based on mutual respect.
The first Think Tank cohort:
Spring 2026.
By the time we’re 12 months in, my intention is that you:
> Spend more time leading, less time firefighting.
> Have clearer, simpler ways of making decisions and delegating authority.
> See tangible movement in the numbers that matter to you (revenue, profit, cash, owner hours, client quality).
> Feel less alone, more supported, and more deliberate in the way you build your business.
And perhaps most importantly: that you’ve become the kind of leader your future, bigger business actually needs.
Your Next Step
If you’re reading this and thinking, “That’s me, I’m the bottleneck now, and I don’t want to be 12 months from today,” then the next step is simple:
Register your interest below.
We’ll talk privately about:
> Where your business is now.
> Where you want it to be in the next 12–24 months?
> Whether the Think Tank is the right room to help you get there.
No hard sell. Just a clear decision, from both sides, about whether you belong in this room.
If you do, we’ll see you in Warrington soon.
If you don’t, we’ll part as professionals who had a good, open and honest conversation.
