Hello, I’m Mark Jarvis

What have I learned?

I started my first business way back in the 1990s. What I didn’t accept back then was that I needed someone to take me beyond the basics, along the challenging journey of business ownership – something no level of education could do at the time, and still doesn’t really exist today at a practical level. I took a path familiar to many, a path of hard lessons and sacrifice.

 

After decades in business, I‘ve learned that growing, scaling and selling businesses is simple, it’s just not easy if you don’t know how.

I learned how to move from being an owner/operator to a manager and leader.

I learned how to go from hiring the wrong people to attracting top industry talent, and I learned how to inspire and develop my team to bring investment and offers to buy my businesses.

I believe that knowing how to start, scale and sell a business is simple, but just knowing isn’t enough. I had to learn to accept help and support to turn that knowledge into action. Perhaps the lesson I learned is relevant to you too.

More about me

We all know that famous quote attributed to many but perhaps originally Confucius – “When you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”. I feel so fortunate in saying that’s true of the work I do now. I’ve worked with some amazing people and teams and supported them on their own learning journey.

Seeing them grow and develop both as individuals and business leaders is wonderfully fulfilling. So yes, I do love what I do because it brings clarity to some, certainty to others, but most of all, confidence that the path they are on will make their dreams and aspirations a reality.

Other stuff

As well as a business coach and mentor, I am also a non-executive director, investor, author and speaker, a proud family man and a big fan of motorsport, architecture, coffee and cake.

If you need a paper trail, I have a master’s degree in business Intelligence, ILM 7 Diploma, and CIPD accreditations. I’m also a member of the Association of Business Mentors. Oh, and a CSE in domestic science (just to see how many read this far…)

If you want to learn more about me in general and hear the long version of my story, book a call and I’ll be happy to share with you.

Empathy, Challenge, Authenticity, Passion, Diligence, Respect.
