Answer This One Question to Know If Your Business Will Scale: Sarah Willingham03 sept. 202600:55:30

Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

 

 

What would you do if I gave you £1 million to invest in your business? Sarah Willingham explains why your answer to that one question tells her whether your business can scale, why making yourself redundant is the real goal, and how she built a £40m business the hard way before learning the smart way!

Sarah Willingham is a serial entrepreneur and investor who has built, bought and scaled consumer businesses for over two decades. She grew Bombay Bicycle Club into the UK's largest chain of Indian restaurants, having earlier opened sites internationally for Planet Hollywood and run international development at Pizza Express. She was an investor on BBC's Dragons' Den across two series, and co-founded the bar group Nightcap - home to brands including The London Cocktail Club and Dirty Martini — with her husband and business partner Michael Toxvaerd. She's also a personal business mentor to Adam.

She explains:

  • Why the answer to "what would you do with £1 million?" exposes whether your model is actually replicable
  • Why making yourself redundant, not working harder, is the real definition of success
  • Why you probably don't need investment - you need to go and sell something

The Real Reason You're Not Doing the Thing You Know You Should: Dr Julie Smith27 août 202601:07:52

Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

 

Why do you know exactly what you should be doing, and still not do it? Dr Julie Smith breaks down the psychology of procrastination, fear and self-sabotage, and reveals how she went from an NHS psychologist to building a mental health platform with millions of followers and a Sunday Times #1 bestseller.

Dr Julie Smith is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist who spent a decade in the NHS before building one of the world's largest mental health education platforms, reaching an audience of over 10 million people across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. She is the Sunday Times #1 bestselling author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?, which has sold nearly 2 million copies and was the UK's top-selling nonfiction book of 2022.

She explains:

  • Why the fear you feel before doing something new is just your brain's stress response, and how to work with it instead of against it

Your Business Won't Scale While It Still Depends on You: Andrew Hulbert06 août 202600:59:22

Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

 

What does it really take to build a company that no longer needs you? Andrew Hulbert reveals how he went from starting in his bedroom to £50 million in turnover, more than 500 employees and an £100 million exit, and why the hardest part was learning to stop being the centre of everything!

Andrew Hulbert is an entrepreneur who built and exited a property services business over ten years. After growing the company through major contracts with brands including Bulgari Hotel, Yahoo!, Twitter, Candy Crush and London Zoo, he invested £1 million into a new leadership team, stepped away from the day-to-day operation and sold the business in November 2023.

He explains:

  • Why working harder eventually becomes the very thing stopping your business from scaling
  • How one trusted relationship helped him win his first major contract and create unstoppable momentum
  • Why he invested £1 million into leadership, temporarily flattened profit and built a company that could run without him

What Getting Knocked Down Teaches You About Getting Back Up in Business - Frank Bruno16 juil. 202600:30:45

Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

Why does it take getting knocked down to really learn how to get back up? Frank Bruno shares the resilience, discipline, and mindset that carried him from a troubled childhood to becoming Britain's WBC Heavyweight Champion, and how he fought his way back from the toughest setback of his life: his very public battle with mental health.

Frank Bruno is a former professional boxer, WBC World Heavyweight Champion, and one of Britain's most celebrated sporting icons. Famous for his fights against Mike Tyson and Tim Witherspoon, his instantly recognisable laugh, and his openness about being sectioned multiple times, Frank now runs the Frank Bruno Foundation, supporting others through mental health struggles.

He shares:

  1. Why his toughest defeats taught him more than his wins ever could
  2. Why discipline, hunger and self-belief mattered more than natural talent
  3. Why he had to hit rock bottom before he could rebuild himself, and how gratitude and routine keep him grounded today

The Simple, Repeatable Business Model That Scales to Any Size - Sara Davies07 juil. 202601:31:45

Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

Sara Davies built a multi-million-pound business selling handmade envelopes, survived six years of imposter syndrome in the Dragon's Den chair, and still says the biggest bottleneck to growth was never cash, it was her own bandwidth. In this episode she breaks down the simple, repeatable model that took Crafter's Companion from a university side hustle to a £30 million turnover business.

Sara Davies is an award-winning entrepreneur, Dragon's Den investor, and founder of Crafter's Companion, the crafting brand she launched from her student bedroom and grew into a multi-million-pound company. She's spent over 20 years selling live on shopping television, backed some of the Den's biggest hits, and competed on Strictly Come Dancing.

She explains:

  1. Why the real limit on growth is never cash, it's how much of you there is to go around
  2. The three traits, passion, vision and drive, that decide whether she invests in thirty seconds
  3. Why hiring someone smarter than you is the single hire that changes everything

The Leadership Skill That Works on Gangs, Soldiers, and Your Team - Ross Kemp02 juil. 202600:48:26

Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

What's the one skill that works on gangs, soldiers, hostage situations - and your team back at the office? Ross Kemp breaks down the debrief technique he picked up in Afghanistan, why "two ears, one mouth" is the real secret to great leadership, and the negotiation advice from a billionaire mentor that changed how he does business.

Ross Kemp is a BAFTA-winning actor, journalist and documentary maker, best known for playing Grant Mitchell in EastEnders and for his hard-hitting series Ross Kemp on Gangs, Ross Kemp: Extreme World and Ross Kemp: Afghanistan. Over three decades he's reported from gang-controlled streets in Compton, cartel territory in Colombia and the frontline in Afghanistan, building teams and making high-stakes calls in some of the most hostile environments on earth.

He explains:
◼ Why "TRIM" - the debrief ritual he learned from Royal Marines Commandos - stops resentment building in any team
◼ How reading body language and behaviour keeps you safe when the stakes are life or death
◼ Why the best negotiators aim for the middle ground, not to "take someone to the cleaners"

What's the one thing about your business that can't be copied? Jo Malone CBE built two global fragrance empires from a council estate upbringing and a tiny Chelsea kitchen, and in this episode she reveals the single strategy behind both. She coaches Adam live on stage, extracts a story and turns it into a fragrance in real time, and breaks down the framework she's used to build billion-dollar brands.

Jo Malone CBE is the founder of two global beauty brands, Jo Malone London and Jo Loves, a pioneer of scent storytelling who started out as a skincare therapist with "not a penny to rub together," and the creator of the world's first fragrance paintbrush.

·      She explains:
Why every great brand needs a "Five Eyes" compass: inspiration, innovation, ignition, integrity and instinct

How does a Windrush child from Jamaica - who ended up in prison with a 9-year sentence - walk into Dragon's Den and land one of the most successful deals in the show's history? Levi Roots sits down with Adam Stott to share the extraordinary story behind Reggae Reggae Sauce, and the brand-building philosophy that made millions of people not just buy his sauce - but believe in him.

Levi Roots is the entrepreneur, musician, and cultural icon behind Reggae Reggae Sauce, one of the UK's most recognisable food brands.

They explain:

From "U" Grades to £100M in Sales - Turning Pain Into Purpose (Toms Talks)04 juin 202601:18:27

In this special episode, Adam turns the tables and shares his own story - recorded as a guest on the Tom Talks podcast, hosted by Tom, who lost his brother Liam to suicide in 2015 and built his show around stories of overcoming adversity.

It's one of the most personal and in-depth interviews Adam has done. He opens up about the moments that shaped him: going from an affluent childhood and private school to living in the back of a transport café after his dad lost everything; leaving school with a single GCSE and a "U" in everything else; and how being written off academically lit a fire that drove him to build businesses generating over £100 million in sales and earn three consecutive London Stock Exchange recognitions.

Along the way, Adam gets practical - breaking down the four stages of business (startup, growth, scale, exit), why people fail by applying "scale strategies" too early, and how relationship capital and simply having more conversations changed everything. He also reflects candidly on the £1 million it cost him to close a business at 31, the relief that came with closure, and why self-belief - and sometimes the right words from the right person - matter most when you're at rock bottom.

A raw, honest conversation about resilience, mindset, and the belief that life happens for you, not to you.

In this episode:

  • Why early adversity became the source of Adam's drive
  • Finding your strengths when school says you're "no good"
  • The four stages of business and the strategy mistakes that stall growth
  • Relationship capital: why business is "mathematical, not magical"
  • What it really feels like to lose £1M - and bounce back
  • Advice for anyone facing exams, setbacks, or starting over

I Find 124 Hidden Days Across 3 Businesses (Live Hot Seats)28 mai 202601:18:25

Three business owners walked onto the stage, not knowing what their real problem was. None of them left that way.

In this live hot seat session, Adam works with a business owner who thought she had no time - and finds 124 days hiding in plain sight across her side businesses. An accountant who thought her landing page wasn't converting - and uncovers a pricing structure that could take her from £120K to £600K without a single extra hour of work. A consultant running two funnels at once - whose webinar was already working brilliantly, just with completely the wrong offer on the end of it. And two founders who had built a £400K business that runs entirely without them - but had no idea what to do next.

Three different businesses. Three completely different problems. All diagnosed and solved live on stage in under 15 minutes each.

Business Coaching Audit: Skin Clinic's £1M Growth Plan09 avr. 202600:23:22

Business coaching audit: Karina started this service business to make £500 a month… now she's past £530,000 and doesn't even work in the clinic. The business growth was real, but the foundation was holding everything back: opening hours built around childcare commitments, only making money 29 hours a week, and fear of asking her team to change.

Adam Stott (who's helped thousands of businesses break through barriers and grow) calls it out - and shows exactly what the numbers say.

You'll hear him help her finally stop leaving money on the table, fix the opening hours that were capping business growth, and build a clear path to £1.2 million using two simple levers.

💥 Inside this video, you'll uncover:

⚠️ Why every extra hour this clinic opens is worth £16,000 per year - and how closed Fridays and half-days were silently costing £384K in high ticket sales

🔁 Why interviewing 8 people in 12 months was killing her lead generation - and the recruitment effort that actually fills roles in a service business

🎯 The pricing strategy + opening hours formula that turns a £530K clinic into a £1.2M high ticket coaching business - without a second location

Listen now to stop building your schedule around comfort and start building it around capacity, so you can get serious about scaling your service business past £1 million.

If you run a clinic, salon, studio, or any service business, and you know your hours aren't optimised, this business audit will show you what that's actually costing you. This is what real business coaching looks like: not theory, but a live business growth plan built on the numbers.
