Want to learn the art and science of successful business?
As a lifelong commitment filled with continuous learning, business requires a special kind of person to take on the challenge. That said, the challenge becomes easier when you have the right tools and know-how.
And I’m here to make your life easier, help you achieve your business goals, and, with my brand-new book, provide you with the knowledge of how to scale your business profitably.
Business is simple, it’s just not easy if you don’t know how.
But you don’t need to navigate it or work out how alone – my book includes everything I’ve learnt throughout my 30+ years in business. The Very Best Business Handbook You’ll Ever Own (Unless You Use it as a Bookend!) is your guide to starting, scaling, and selling your business

Why should you buy my book?
I’m a businessperson just like you. I’ve been through the trials and tribulations of business ownership, and I’ve survived—perhaps with a few dents and scars, but I’m proud to say I’ve done it. This book is a guide to all I’ve learned to support you in your journey.
Here’s a little bit about me…

I’m Mark Jarvis, a business mentor and coach, entrepreneur, and business owner of 30+ years. I am also an MD, NED, investor, author, and speaker. I’ve studied relational business growth for over 20 years, have a master’s degree in business Intelligence, an ILM 7 Diploma, and CIPD accreditations, and I’m a member of the Association of Business Mentors.
As I’ve mentioned, I have over 30 years of business experience under my belt. I started my business journey in the early 1990s and continue to start, build, buy, sell, and invest in businesses across the UK to this day. When I’m not working on and scaling my own businesses, I work alongside other business owners, directors, partners, and leaders to support them on their own growth journeys.
My book compiles all the past learnings of my business education and experience into accessible, bite-sized chunks so that you can move forward with your business without making all the mistakes I made.
The only step-by-step actionable business handbook you need.
“Okay, Mark, but I already have hundreds of part-read business books; why do I need another one?”
My business book won’t be one that you start reading and get bored of, nor will it be one where you get frustrated with it (because you don’t know how to put into practice what you read).
Within my book, I’ve included clear, easy-to-follow instructions, practical tips, and actionable tricks that enable you to scale your business the right and profitable way (without needing to trial-and-error your way through, like I did!).
As a businessman myself, I know the common challenges that business owners face, such as finding time, building a world-class team and increasing profitability, which is why The Very Best Business Handbook You’ll Ever Own (Unless You Use it as a Bookend!) focuses on these three themes.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-understand, easy-to-implement, handy business book that simplifies starting, scaling and selling your business, you need to get your hands on The Very Best Business Handbook You’ll Ever Own.
