It's a common question, it's why you're on this site, and the answer is rather simple, BE BETTER. We live in a world where being good is no longer good enough, it's that simple. To shine, you must be offering a six star service in a five star world.
The way to grow your print business starts with the Inverted Business Growth Model. I'm pretty confident you won't have seen anything like this before. How well do you really stand out from your competitors?
Do you find you're having to sell on price more now than ever before?

Explain To Me What The Inverted Business Growth Model Is
Oh, and do it in a way that my dog would understand, no waffle
The Inverted Business Growth Model was created out of FRUSTRATION with the many offerings out there claiming riches beyond avarice for print and graphics businesses. The ones that claim to 10x your business or provide seven figure monthly revenue streams.
It was time to reverse that trend. It was time to create a programme based on substance and fact over waffle and open ended questions. It was time to create a programme that was based on what you want.
The Inverted Business Growth Model was created because while I got so many things right, I also got many things disastrously wrong. I was focussed on growth and not the levers and buttons behind the scenes that resulted in that growth. For most business owners, growth should not be the first port of call.
Let me share with you my story, what created the largest chain of independent print centres in the country, how that massively successful business failed on it's 20th Birthday, and why I created The Inverted Business Growth Model. I created it for you.

How Does It Actually Work?
The first thing to do is to decide if the Inverted Business Growth Model
suits your business, and that you and I are a good fit. My style does not suit everyone, and that's okay, we're as well getting that out the way right at the start. Step one
is a one hour call where we'll cover loads about your business, the programme, and how to move forward. If you don't want to proceed, you'll still have a number of ideas to help improve your business.
The programme itself is priced below, and all sessions are delivered 1-1, via Zoom. I am often asked why I don't provide a group course, the reason is simple. Every business is different, with different challenges, and different priorities, together we work on yours.
Henry Ford told us; "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got". The best time to start that change was yesterday, don't wait until tomorrow, start that change today.

The Inverted Business Growth Model
I have created three options for you to work with me on the Inverted Business Growth Model. You might want to click below and have a look at what's covered. All the course options are working with me 1-1, this is not a group programme, so everything is bespoke to you.
The Inverted Business Growth Model is broken into four sections, How to Fix, How to Grow, How to Scale and How to Exit, each section has over forty modules, so there's tons to cover for your business. While I will always start with the "How to Fix" section first, we can proceed with that you want, what's important for you.

A Bit About Me - I know, boring!!
Hi, my name is Stuart Mason. I'll be your guide on this mission.
I ran an incredible print business. An award-winning, multi-outlet, multi-million pound business that became the largest independent print chain in the Country. The business was flying - yet failed on its 20th Birthday. The reasons for that? ALL AVOIDABLE.
I then joined Tradeprint as their Production Director and was an important part of the acquisition process by Cimpress (Vistaprint), and then became a plant director at Cimpress.
Corporate life was not for me, so I left and wrote the book "How To Wreck Your Business" to share the enormous highs and hull crushing lows of life in print's fast lane. That book became an Amazon #1 Best Seller.
Today, I help print and graphics business just like yours navigate the landmines. I share what made me a success and what led to catastrophic failure.
The Inverted Business Growth Model is the outcome. Would you like to know more?
Oh, and yes, I know - I have a face for radio.

Where It All Started
It all started with a story. A true story, my story, a horror story, so don't make it your story. The story of those amazing highs and hull crushing lows. Sharing the eight fundamental mistakes that caused my business to fail on its 20th Birthday.
Mistakes that most business owners are making right now.
The success of the business masked the errors being made.
It's all there in the Amazon #1 Best Seller,
How To Wreck Your Business.
The questions to ask during due diligence need to be very carefully considered. As do the answers.
Some franchises quote financials in "bankings" and not turnover thus inflating the figure by 20%.
Franchise contracts ALWAYS favour the franchisor, some more than others - get yours professionally checked.
the book continues to get rave reviews - thats why its #1
People Say The Nicest Things... aw, shucks.
I have been running my own business for over 10years now and I took away numerous nuggets that I will be implementing in my business. Stuart talks very openly of the good times and the bad times of running a multi million pound business
There is a saying that it is a wise man that learns from his mistakes and an even wiser man that learns from the mistakes of others. Stuart is refreshingly honest about the mistakes he made first time round and I think they are mistakes that any of us could/would make/are making
