Let’s Get Some Momentum

You are the boss. You are also the intern.

Running an early stage business under £50k is brilliant. You get to make all the big strategic decisions while simultaneously doing the invoicing and resetting the office router.

We run deliberately small rooms of same stage owners who are tired of talking to their houseplants about lead generation. There are no corporate gurus on a pedestal here. We bring together actual peers who have your back.

Advice you can rely on

Your friends are great, but they are sick of hearing about your pipeline.

They smile politely when you mention your click-through rates over breakfast, but they cannot really understand what you do all day. Neither does your life partner.

Even the people closest to you who try to empathise when you are up at 2am worrying about cashflow cannot really know what it takes. They have never sat where you are sitting.

The weight you’re carrying alone makes every strategic decision feel like a bit of a guess. You end up trapped in the day to day urgent, putting out tiny fires inside your inbox instead of building a steady pipeline.

We built the room we wished we had before we made our first fifty mistakes.

The Structure

We do not believe in silver bullets, and we do not do vague motivational speeches. Momentum runs on three practical rhythms to keep your business moving forward:

  • Quarterly Planning: Half a day, every quarter, along with your own peer group, and a dedicated partner. You set your direction and leave with a clear plan for the next 90 days.
  • Business Support: Half a day, every month. You bring your toughest operational roadblocks, your ideas, and your financial questions, and you leave with practical answers from people running actual businesses.
  • Weekly Accountability: A short, sharp check-in to stop you slipping back into your inbox and make sure you stay on the hook for what you promised.
Benefits of a Mastermind Group. Mastermind Business Growth. Mastermind9

91% of our members grew last year.

 

Just sayin…

The vast majority of our members stick with us for the long term because this actually works.

It is not magic, it is just what happens when you take an ambitious founder, strip away the noise, and put them in a room with people who hold them to their word.

“I joined the Momentum tier without a product or any customers.

Six months into a 12 month plan, we’ve launched, got our first 40 customers on board, four of them on a new managed service offering, and we’ve doubled our revenue.

Baz Furby, Ghost

You have already done the hardest bit.

Starting the business was half the battle. Now we just need to get you off the solo-founder rollercoaster and into a rhythm that actually gives you momentum.

You can keep trying to fix every operational roadblock on your own on a Tuesday night, or you can come and test your ideas with actual peers. If you are not right for us, we will tell you straight away.

I've been a member of a Mastermind9 group for several months now after setting up my own business last year. The rigour and accountability this has brought is really helpful as well as the advice and resources we have access to. I feel part of a supportive community which really helps in the somewhat lonely world of running your own company! I'd highly recommend working with Pete, Sarah and the team.

I joined Mastermind9 for support with growing my business. I have stayed with the group because I not only get business support, I also get encouragement, new ideas, and the enjoyment of sharing ideas and helping other like-minded business owners. The weekly accountability sessions are mandatory and keep me on track and consistent with my to-do list, which will ensure I meet my targets each quarter. Each monthly session, there is a realisation that can help me push forward month by month. Thanks team!

I met Pete and Sarah when I was a few months into starting my own business. I knew instantly I wanted to work with them and would value their support immensely. Being part of Mastermind9 and being able to share my experiences, share my worries and blockers - with a team of people who all knew what I was going through - was/and has been amazing. I wanted to be part of M9 for the support, experience and mentorship side of businesses. Pete and Sarah make you feel instantly at home, no question is a stupid one, no struggle is too much and no mindset can't be changed. I would recommend anyone wanting to start a business, having had an established business, or just needed that community to talk about your business in, to join one of the guys courses. I'm so grateful for all they have done for me :)

Running a business can feel like an uphill battle, but joining a mastermind group changes that. I’ve been with Mastermind9 for three years, and the transformation has been profound. Before joining, I struggled to shift into a true "CEO" mindset. I initially worried about losing an afternoon every month, but it has quickly become the most valuable time on my calendar. Having knowledge about businesses allows you to tackle your own challenges with clarity and foresight. You truly have a board of people who have got your back. Together you commiserate and celebrate! Pete and Sarah are amazing. They facilitate with such insight, always dropping "golden nuggets" of advice exactly when you need them. I wouldn't have pushed my boundaries or achieved this level of growth without their support. I highly recommend Mastermind9 for strenght and clarity in business.

I joined Mastermind9 around 5 months ago now, at that point in time I was just leaving my previous role, didn't really have a product or a strategy and jumped straight into a Plan90 Q1 planning session with Pete & Sarah. I can only say that it has been the best experience, and helped me catapult my startup from 0 to 15 customers really quickly. The feedback, guidance, planning and accountability that founders get from Mastermind9 AND the cohort of other founders in the same situation is second to none! If you're at the start, struggling or hitting a plateau in your business I recommend you join.

I started working with Pete and the team at Mastermind9 in January this year. I love the energy, collaboration and I really appreciate the Friday catchups with my accountibility buddy, it really helps to maintain focus on the goals that we are setting for the business. I highly recommend Mastermind9 for any business leaders regardless of size or structure.

Mastermind9 has helped me transform my business. As a sole business owner it was hard to challenge myself and understand, tactically and strategically how I could help grow. Peter, Sarah and the Team are fantastic and always on hand to offer support. The group I am in is brilliant, we're not afraid to challenge the status quo and the breadth of knowledge and experience has truly helped turn things around from both the business and my time. Couldn't recommend enough.

I joined Mastermind9 in June 2025 because, although my business was doing OK, I knew it could do better, but I wasn’t sure how to do it by myself. The M9 process of accountability and other likeminded business owners, but with totally different skill sets is incredible. This isn’t just business coaching, it’s a whole board of talented people pushing you to be the best you can be. Since joining M9, I’ve got a clear focus on how to grow my business and I’m seeing incredible results. I’ve had quarter on quarter increases in revenue and I’ve delivered more in my business than I had in the 2 years prior when I did it alone. The accountability groups are great and I always come away feeling focussed and I have clarity. I’d recommend M9 to anyone who wants a little help navigating the next step in growing their business and wants a community behind them to cheer them on. Pete and Sarah are wonderful humans with so much knowledge, passion and energy and truly want the best for you and your business.

Being a CEO can be isolating and lonely there’s no one above you to challenge your thinking or keep momentum moving. That’s exactly where Mastermind 9 makes such a difference. What Mastermind 9 offers is incredibly powerful: access to a network of professionals across a wide range of disciplines, alongside peers facing similar challenges. It’s not just advice it’s practical, shared problem-solving with real accountability and support behind it. And that accountability is what truly sets it apart. Pete , Sarah are such a supportive sounding board genuinely lovely people who challenge, encourage and have your back every step of the way. They genuinely care.

We've been in the M9 squad for 18 months now, 13 years into business. We joined because we had just lost a huge contract, we were needing a safe space to process what happened, the impact and how to get back on track. Mentally, since Covid, business has been HARD. I took a leap of faith and havnt looked back. The tough times that just kept coming but were met with support, knowledge, solutions and frankly a place to lay out all our vulnerability. M9 has helped us realise what we want out of business, provided a clear path on how to achieve it and accountability to keep pushing through. I have met and are now friends with some incredible business owners that inspire us everyday to be and do better. We wouldn't be where we are today without Peter, Sarah and the team, and we've got so much further to go, which I know we can achieve with this shared wealth of knowledge and support.
