One Of The Best Decisions I've Made
Speak With John To See What Can Be Achieved
He Genuinely Wanted To Help Me And My Business, I Trust Him
Had Any Other Coach Approached Me I Probably Would Not Have Signed Up
Many Coaches Just Provide A Sympathetic Ear But Don't Give Real Guidance
I Gained More Insight And Education Within Our Coaching Session Than I Have In The Past 2 1/2 Years!
5 years on and we have smashed our 10-year goals at work and at home!
I now work less than half the hours I was before, and my wife no longer needs to work at all.
We enjoy travel, spending time as a family and doing the job we were trained to do, rather than the work we had to do.
Thank you,
John! Phil and Jo.
In 3 short months you have delivered to me far more than you set out, this is far more reaching on a personal level than business support, this is life and family and the core values.
I’ve started to take interest in my health and fitness and started to lose weight.
Tomorrow has come and you guys have given it to me. I don’t know how to put into words my level of gratitude to you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Co‑Founder & Managing Director - Clerksroom
10 x Profit in 3 Years all while cutting my hours in half.
Stephen had built a good business, but he was working all hours, unable to enjoy time with his family. He was completely overwhelmed and had no idea how to get off the hamster wheel.
After working with John, Stephen is now able to spend as much or as little time as he likes in his business. He now enjoys his time following his passions; travelling, motorsport and photography and is able to spend all the time he wants with his family.
"I was overworked, exhausted and overwhelmed with no idea how to get out of the hamster wheel. Working all hours, not enjoying my work, and no thoughts about increasing profit."
"Working with John changed my business and my life".
Tom Lowday & Shevek Pring,
Co-founders - The Outdoors Group
In just 4 years John helped us go from £300k to
£3.5 Million in Revenue,
8 to 120 staff,
& £1 Million additional assets
Tom & Shev were working very long hours, leaving them feeling stressed and overwhelmed and having many sleepless nights. This meant they were not getting the quality time they wanted with their families.
Thanks to John they have moved completely away from operations and now focus on improving and growing their business.
They have built the foundations of a business that over the next few years can expand to employ over 500 staff with a turnover of £20 Million and provide life changing services to their clients.
Tom
"I feel like my own time is now my own. I'm less stressed and feel more engaged and more present with my family."
"My life feels good and balanced and I feel an amazing sense of pride about what we've achieved."
Shev
"I now have more time to spend with my family and more time for me, the ideal work life balance. I could barely squeeze in going to the gym four years ago, and now I'm climbing and cycling, hill walking, and enjoying proper holidays."
"It's been a big change. It definitely
allows me to bring my best self to work as well, which is really important."
Adam Robbins,
Managing Director - Halpin Robbins Ltd
3 Years Later Revenue and Profit Have Increased by 1,000% and now I Work Less Than 40 Hours per Week
Adam was working 80 hours every week, with very little time to spend with his wife and young family.
3 years later his team has grown his team from 1 to almost 20, revenue and profit have increased by over 1,000%, and Adam now works less than 40 hours per week.
As a dad of two boisterous young boys, Adam can now enjoy quality time with his family and has taken up sports activities again.
"When I met John, I had a business that was a time-consuming hobby. It took 80 hours a week to run, provided less than 2% profit each year and was causing depression and overwhelm."
"Now things couldn’t be more different.
Under normal circumstances, this would be great but the majority of this was done during a global pandemic, making it truly outstanding."
Phil & Jo Jones,
Co-Directors - Taunton Chiropractic Clinic
300% Increase in Revenue,
100+% Increase in Profit,
Working 50% Less Hours in 2 Years
As a young married couple Phil and Jo started their own business. They delivered high quality healthcare but it relied heavily on both of them being there all day, every day including weekends.
They were over-worked, overwhelmed and stressed, with no time for each other let alone the time to start a family.
Now Phil works less than half the hours he was and Jo no longer needs to work at all, although she
chooses to work just 20% of the hours she was before.
They now spend all the time they want to with their young family.
"We are excited about growing our family and travelling the world, whilst knowing we have a sustainable business with a great reputation."
"We met all of our 5 year goals in 3 years, and our 10 year goals in 5 years."
Chris Williams,
Managing Director -CSPF Engineering
In only 3 Months My Mental & Physical Health Have Improved & I've Halved my Working Hours
Chris had worked hard and built his engineering business from scratch.
The major problem came when he hit a period of rapid growth, tripling his revenue in just 12 months.
Chris' workload went through the roof and he was working 80-90 hours a week trying to keep on it of his workload.
The long hours and high stress took it's toll on Chris' mental and physical health.
Within only 3 months Chris had stabilised his business, got his cashflow under control, was able to work on his fitness and spend time with his young family. And he was enjoying his business again.
Thought I’d share my daughter’s comment to me at 5pm,
"Dad, do you go to work anymore?"
The best part was I finished at 14:30 and had put 1.5 hours in the gym."

What Clients Say
It Gave Me A Framework
£0 to £1 Million Profit in 3 Years!
"The situation has changed beyond recognition because I now don’t have a job which may sound a bit strange to say. Now instead of "I have a job”, I'm proud to say “I own a successful business”.
"I don't have any hours, I don't need to go into work in the morning, I can spend all my time with my family."
Stephen Ward
Co‑Founder & Managing Director - Clerksroom
"Employing John as my coach has been one heck of an experience.
He’s persistent, challenging and accepts no excuses. He knows exactly how to push me out of my comfort zone; and he does that with such conviction and compassion that I feel continually compelled to stretch myself.
John is focused, results-driven, very competitive and absolutely relentless when it comes to helping
his clients achieve great things in their business.
Thanks John!"
What CLIENTS Write About
The Benefits to Their Businesses
100% Increase in Revenue in
12 Months
Dean Clarke
Presona UK Ltd
“John has helped me to facilitate all of the big changes needed to take the company to the next level.
The coaching has allowed me to focus, really take a step back and look at what I want to achieve. Everyone has goals; I want the business to work without me being there. Coaching has without a doubt, changed me for the better.
My time is well spent now, supporting my team to undertake more of the work that I was previously doing, which means I can focus efforts more strategically to drive the business forward.
The ROI for coaching has been significant. I now have more time with my family and less to worry about at work, which is a wonderful outcome for me. The business is in fantastic shape compared to what it was 12 months ago, and all the team feel this, not just me; and the turnover and sales figures speak for themselves.”
I wish We Did It Sooner
Duncan Bawler
Cross Fit Box
“Whatever you have been doing with Pete is working, he's all over everything and changing things left right and centre.
It's good, wish he had done it sooner, all positive for the box (gym), just need to do some planning and discussions based around what we can all do together now.”
Coffee, Planning

Glen Corbett

"After a chat with a certain someone, I've been putting some numbers around our events business and making a more solid financial plan...
Thanks John McCarthy for the coffee a couple of weeks ago - it gave me the kick up the ar*e that I needed. I meant to drop you a line to say thank you but I'll do it publicly here instead!"

"We have great coaching from Zander, Pam & everyone else in this community saying "This is what to do", but it is my self belief saying I can't ask for £2,000 per month. So I thought I would just ask for what the coaching is worth." The two businesses Luke signed had revenues of $18 million and $1.6 million.

“After working with John for a while I discussed having a coaching session including all of my team.
The session was great, my team where fully involved and took part. A lot of positives have come from it and they felt not only more involved in the business, but more valued within the business.
I should have asked for a session like this sooner, and would highly recommend talking to John about a team session, my team now know to be above the line!”

How Their Team Has Benefited
They want to help grow the business
Anthony Thomas
Hunters Estate Agency
“Amazing coaching session yesterday! Team had a greater understanding of what you and I work on and also felt included in driving the business forward! I would highly recommend a session like that.”
They have been really motivated today; it has been great to see, so I asked them what the difference has been. They felt more involved and have asked if they would be allowed to come to one of your sessions with me, to help grow the business and themselves.”
people care and want the company to work like I do
Dean Clarke
Presona UK Ltd
“The program was very worth it and would recommend it to anybody that wants to grow the team.”
“Much more than your average team building sessions! Time well spent gaining a better understanding of the team and setting our key values across the company. Weekly recognition and setting of a task to improve the company was very effective and later focussing on ways to grow our company, with everyone involved, will be something we will continue to benefit from.”
“Very sceptical about it to start with and with no paperwork to support it didn't seem to have direction, but that's the point...every company is different and it’s about how the boss and we move the company forward and our path to success. After a few weeks I was really enjoying it and it helped me see that people care and want the company to work like I do!”
improved their Contribution to the wider team
Guy Atkins
Jo Bird Ltd
“An excellent way of bringing a team together, with a common purpose and bringing the best out of everyone.”
“I felt that the program was a very good way to learn more about what makes your employees 'tick' - particularly as the new boy in the company. John's enthusiasm as a facilitator helps even the least confident members of the program feel at ease and start to realise their own potential and improve their overall contribution to the wider team.”
“I feel that I have learned a lot about myself and others around me. I look forward to being a stronger team player. This programme has definitely had a positive effect on myself and others.”
“I thought John was very good at encouraging the involvement of some of the quieter people in the group. He was very enthusiastic and made sure it wasn't too heavy with plenty of humour.”
"I’ve now built
3 profitable businesses;
one achieving £3.9 Million revenue
within 18 months of launch."

What CLIENTS Write About
The Decision to Start Coaching
one of the best decisions I've Made
Matt Ruddle
Ruddle Digital
“Another brilliant session from John, working with John was one of the best decisions I've made and today’s session totally validated that!
We recapped on what we have covered over the last few months and the key part for me, is I was more ready for it now and because of the recap I picked out things I missed with are now real golden nuggets for me and will see me move my business forward even more!
Thanks John! Look forward to the next session.”
speak with John to see what can be achieved
Anthony Thomas
Hunters Estate Agency
“The biggest compliment I can pay John is once the funding ran out I remained a client of his!
So what have we achieved in that time?
I have managed to cut my working hours down; I have taken a family holiday and guess what has happened to my business? It has continued to grow!
I would suggest to anyone wanting to grow their business to speak with John to see what can be achieved.”
he genuinely wanted to help me and my business,
I trust him
Karen Morledge
Plum Communications
and PR
“I have come across many coaches over the years, but there was really something different about John.
I was impressed with his proposition to me and felt that he genuinely wanted to help me and my business.
He’s a great guy; easy to get on with and having a rapport from the outset is critical when working so closely together on growing a business.
In the short time I have worked with John, I trust him and have confidence in his approach.”
Had any other coach approached me I probably Would not have signed up
Sandy Wibrew
Click And Jump
“I needed some direction; I knew I had it in me to run my business better I just didn’t know how to improve the things I knew were not working. I needed a shove in the right direction.
You didn’t obviously ‘pitch’ anything to me, there was no hard sell, no ‘promises’ to turn my business around, you showed me that there was another way, by making it clear I would be doing the work and you would support me so that I could improve my business myself I saw it as an opportunity for me, to improve my abilities, my knowledge and therefore the business.
Your personality appealed to me; your no nonsense, not quite ‘group hugging’ yet positive, sunny approach made me realise you would be a good fit for me.
On the whole the coaching was what I needed, I learnt a lot and gained loads of confidence and I got to know myself a little better.
Had any other coach approached me I probably would not have signed up. Your approach, your personality was what sold it to me, so keep doing what you are doing!”
many coaches just provide a sympathetic ear but Don't give real guidance
Jo Christoforides
Make Me A Garden
“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you are the type of coach that I’ve been looking for.
Until now, I just didn’t know where to look for you.
So many coaches just provide a sympathetic ear but decline to actually give real guidance.
I need someone who will hold me accountable to my declared goals and actions and not let me off the hook.”
I gained more insight and education within our coaching session than I have in the past 2 1/2 years!
Sophie Slavin
SAS Consultancy Services
"I've been approached by a few people in the past - usually from some random message instantly claiming they can transform my business (without asking any questions about me or what I do)🤷♀️...
... & insinuating I would be foolish to not sign up with them.
Then I connected with John McCarthy on LinkedIn - he invited me to join a Business Group online and after an exchange of messages we had our first phone call. I went away and had a good think about everything we had discussed 🤔
If life hadn't of been a bit hectic at that point I would have met him straight away.
✔️
We then met. The benefit of having spoken and John actually bothering to ask me not just about my business but myself, it felt like I already knew him when I saw him. I also felt like I had gained more insight and education within our coaching session than I have in the past 2 1/2 years! 👍
If you want someone who is going to tell you the truth, help you set achievable goals (which to be honest are more than I ever thought was possible!) you are willing to listen and put the things you work on together into action then you really should get in touch with him.
I am completely buzzing, ready to make this all happen and with John’s support & guidance I am positive I can reach where I want to be! 🙌”

When CLIENTS Say
Thank You
Phil & Jo Jones
Taunton Chiropractic, Neck & Back Pain Clinic
Husband and wife, business partners to an expanding business and now working the hours that suit us and our growing family, but it wasn’t always this way!
As a young married couple, we had finally started our very own business. Business was good and we were great at delivering high quality healthcare. However, this relied heavily on both of us being there all day, every day including weekends.
We were overworked, stressed and had no time for each other let alone the time to start a family. We were ambitious but often felt out of control. It became normal to find ourselves working long into the night and sometime early hours to get everything done for the business.
Something had to change!
I first met John at a local solicitor’s event in which he spoke on teamwork and goal setting. This guy spoke my language, he was describing how I was feeling, and he was answering the questions that had been rattling around in my head for ages!
My wife and I had our first coaching session with John, I use the term coaching lightly as we inadvertently forced John into a marriage counselors’ role, I think we will all remember that session for a very long time!
Over the coming months John took us outside our comfort zone something that was very scary at first especially for two young, analytical scientists with little experience or confidence in running a business.
Very quickly John helped us realise that what we really wanted and needed from our business was time!
Time together, time for a family, time to live the way we wanted to.
Of course, the business would need to provide the finances to do this, but it wasn’t helicopters and yachts on our wish list, it was the gift of time. Not that there is anything wrong with helicopters and yachts!
Over the following year John helped us develop and refine the foundation skills we needed to grow our business revenue by 300% in just 2 years with profits more than double than before starting this journey, something we had originally only dreamed of.
5 years on and we have smashed our 10-year goals at work and at home!
I now work less than half the hours I was before and my wife no longer needs to work at all, although she chooses to so to keep her skills up and to take care of her beloved patients. She is now working just 20% of the hours she was before.
We have a growing family with two small children and the time to visit relatives who live far away. We enjoy travel, spending time as a family and doing the job we were trained to do, rather than the work we had to do.
At work our team has more than doubled in size and all those jobs we spent hours doing at night are now handled by staff or outsourced to people that are better, faster and more experienced with those tasks. This allows us time to focus fully on our patients and providing them with the best possible care.
Even to this day we still regularly use the skills John taught us on day one and have the confidence to develop this skill in an ever-changing business landscape.
Thank you, John!
Phil and Jo.

"I wanted to take a minute today when I got home as I can only describe the feeling from the day that I have taken away is buzzing.
Until today, Team McCarthy had lit a small candle inside of me and provided me with some hope and potential light for the future. The 3-month experience has been awesome until today. Today was another level stuff. It wasn’t a fire that was lit, it was full on pressing the big red button.
It was the MOST inspirational day and I have come home and reflected on the hour drive and the feeling has intensified massively. The collection of people is each an inspiration in their own right and I have connected in a way that I can’t explain.
Today wasn’t amazing, it was far beyond that, and the energy that you expel in these events are something else. I have never met a group of people motivated quite like I experienced today. The speakers were excellent and while the stories were fantastic, the delivery of the stories were world class.
So, you have set off in me a nuclear reaction, that’s the scale on which I feel right now and I can see a much brighter future for me and my family and while I am not motivated by collecting stuff, I would like the option to collect stuff.
In 3 short months you have delivered to me far more than you set out, this is far more reaching on a personal level than business support, this is life and family and the core values.
I’ve started to take interest in my health and fitness and started to lose weight. Tomorrow has come and you guys have given it to me. I don’t know how to put into words my level of gratitude to you.
