you’re in good company
Hey, don’t take our word for it. Take theirs.
"Since working with Mentor 2 Freedom, my business has transformed in ways I never thought possible. Our turnover and net profit have both increased significantly, and even after covering the cost of the mentoring, we're making more money than we did last year. For the first time, I have a production manager who takes full ownership of the workshop's day-to-day operations. I now have accurate numbers I can trust, allowing me to make informed decisions.
I have a clear plan to grow my turnover from 600K to 1M in the next 12 months, and my mindset about the business has completely changed. I now understand the power of following up and having a structured sales process. With a solid financial plan in place, I’ve been able to make strategic decisions, such as hiring an office employee to take on tasks that I either don’t enjoy or am not particularly skilled at.
We've begun systemising the business, and I can finally see a path to creating a well-oiled machine that will run smoothly without me. Mentor 2 Freedoms mentoring has kept me on track, helping me make progress every month. Even after factoring in the mentoring costs, my business is improving and generating better results every month. I now have a team I trust to bounce ideas off and talk things through. I couldn’t be happier with the results!"

“Before working with Mentor 2 Freedom, I had no real understanding of my numbers and was completely overwhelmed by the workload I was holding onto. Through their guidance, I learned to trust my team, delegate tasks to my production manager and bookkeeper, and finally free myself from being swamped by work. Now, I have a clear plan to take my turnover from £1.6M to £2M, with a net profit increase from 8% to 16%. Tracking our numbers weekly and monthly has given us the insight to make informed decisions that drive our business forward.
Mentor 2 Freedom has provided the certainty and clarity we needed to make the right decisions each day, turning a reactive business into a thriving, forward-thinking one. With their help, we now have a clear understanding of the profitability of both the joinery and construction side of our business, ensuring each is hitting its targets. Previously, we were operating on gut feeling and outdated figures from our accountant. Thanks to Mentor 2 Freedom, we now have the tools and confidence to plan ahead and achieve our goals.”

“Having an external, unbiased perspective has allowed us to share ideas freely and gain invaluable insights that have propelled us forward. Their guidance has not only kept us on track but also introduced innovative strategies for growth and marketing that we hadn’t considered. They’ve pushed us to explore collaborations beyond our usual scope and helped us break through barriers that once held us back. More than that, they’ve strengthened our team dynamics, fostering a stronger, more united front. Mentor 2 Freedom has become an indispensable part of our success, and we’re truly grateful for their unwavering support!”

“Many business owners begin their business because of their passion for their product. As they get busier the business grows, they employ more people, and all of a sudden they are working harder than ever before trying to keep the business under control. It becomes an overwhelming experience simply because they don’t have the experience, tools and skills to run a successful business.
The Mentor2Freedom programme gives you those tools and skills to get your finances under control, increase your margins, grow your sales and put you in control of your business.
Knowing your numbers is the only way to grow a sustainable business and once you know them you can make better informed decisions, delegate more effectively and improve your work life balance.
You don’t just learn all of these techniques, but you also get to network with other business owners and challenging journeys are always easier when you share it with like-minded people.
This could be the best investment you ever make!”

"Before joining Mentor 2 Freedom, I felt like I was spinning my wheels—working in my business but not on it. Without a clear vision or a solid plan for the future, I felt stuck and directionless.
Since joining, that has completely changed. I now have a clear roadmap and, most importantly, the accountability to stay focused. The structure and support from Mentor 2 Freedom have transformed how I run my business, giving me the clarity I was missing.
What’s made the journey even more powerful is the camaraderie within the cohort. Being part of a community of like-minded business owners has shown me I’m not alone in facing the challenges of entrepreneurship. We all share the same goal—to grow our businesses—and that collective energy has been incredibly motivating, keeping me inspired and pushing me forward."

"The interaction with the wider community and fellow business owners in similar situations has been invaluable. Hearing others' experiences—facing the same barriers, tackling the same challenges, and striving for the same goals—has made a huge difference. It’s transformed what could feel isolating into a team effort, with accountability and shared momentum driving us forward.
The program’s step-by-step approach has been a game-changer. By breaking down key areas of the business and backing it with solid data, it provides a clear roadmap for improvement. You can track progress weekly, monthly, and quarterly, and the impact is undeniable. Both the company and my own leadership have evolved significantly. I’m now delegating with confidence, knowing I have the tools to monitor everything effectively. This has made the business more scalable and more resilient.
The support is second to none. The team is always available—whether it’s picking up the phone or offering an open forum for deeper discussions. Every concern is heard, addressed, and often shared with the wider group if it’s relevant, creating a continuous cycle of learning and growth. It’s more than just support; it’s a lifeline for sustainable business success."

"Coming to Mentor2Freedom was the turning point for our business, which had grown organically but stalled when it came to reaching the next level. Mentor2Freedom has been instrumental in helping us hit key business milestones. As a former joiner, I was unsure how to move forward, but after just a few months, the progress is undeniable.
Having someone to rely on and bounce ideas off has been invaluable, especially when it comes to mapping out our growth path. The accountability, goal setting, and expert guidance have made all the difference. They've even helped us navigate tough business decisions that have propelled us forward. I can clearly see the value, and we now have a clear direction for where we want to go."
