Why 80% of skilled professionals fail in business (it’s not what you think)

You’re brilliant at what you do.

Whether you’re a life coach who transforms lives, an accountant who saves businesses thousands, or a trainer who delivers flawless advice – you have genuine expertise that people desperately need.

So why is your phone not ringing?

Why are you lying awake at 2am wondering if you made a terrible mistake starting your own business?

Here’s the brutal truth: Being exceptional at your craft means absolutely nothing if nobody knows you exist.

You didn’t go into business to become a marketer. You started your business because you’re passionate about helping people and you’re damn good at what you do. But here you are, watching competitors with half your skill level book clients left and right while you struggle to pay the bills.

The statistics are terrifying: 80% of small businesses fail within their first five years.

But it’s not because they’re bad at what they do. It’s because they never figured out how to consistently attract clients. Right now, you’re probably leaving 70% to 100% of your potential income on the table. Every month that passes without proper marketing systems is money walking out the door to competitors who understand something you don’t.

The worst part? You know you should be learning digital marketing, but when exactly are you supposed to find the time? Between serving existing clients, handling admin, and trying to keep your head above water, where are those extra 20 hours per week going to come from?

And even if you had the time, modern digital marketing feels like learning a foreign language. LinkedIn algorithms, SEO, Google Ads, YouTube strategies – it’s overwhelming and constantly changing.

So you stay stuck. Talented, frustrated, and watching your business dream slowly slip away.

After 30 years of helping thousands of businesses across the globe, I’ve learned something crucial: You don’t need to become a marketing expert overnight. You just need the right system, the right guidance, and someone who’s already figured out what works.

My name is Steve Mills, and I’ve spent three decades mastering the art and science of business growth. I’ve written four books on marketing, worked with businesses in every industry imaginable, and helped generate millions in revenue for my clients. More importantly, I’ve seen what happens when skilled professionals finally get the marketing piece right.

• One client of mine went from 15 leads per month to over 75 leads per month through Google advertising within one month of my help.
• Another generated £5.2 million within one 20 minute conversation about their advertising spend.
• Another grew his business by 100% in nine months

These aren’t un common stories. They’re the natural result of applying proven marketing systems that actually work in the real world. The difference between businesses that thrive and those that barely survive isn’t talent, luck, or timing. It’s having a systematic approach to attracting, converting, and keeping customers.

That’s why I’ve created a complete range of training programmes designed specifically for small business owners who want to master marketing without spending years figuring it out themselves.

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale aggressively, there’s a programme that fits exactly where you are right now:

• The Kickstart Program (£10/month) – Perfect if you’re just getting started and need the fundamentals
• Mastery Hub (£75/month) – Includes what I believe is the best digital marketing software in the world
• Master University (£75/month) – Comprehensive training across all marketing disciplines
• Results Momentum Programme (£150/month) – For businesses ready to accelerate their growth
• Results Mastermind Programme (£400/month) – The complete system for serious business owners who want maximum results

Each programme teaches you the same strategies I’ve used to help thousands of businesses grow by 25% to 200%. You’ll learn LinkedIn marketing, SEO, sales training, Google Ads, YouTube strategies, and every other marketing discipline you need to dominate your market.

But here’s what makes this different from every other marketing course you’ve considered…

Most marketing programmes cost thousands of pounds and leave you more confused than when you started.

But think about this for a moment: What’s the real cost of NOT solving your marketing problem?

If you’re leaving 70% to 100% of your potential income on the table, what does that mean over the next 12 months? The next 5 years?

Let’s say you should be earning £50,000 more per year than you currently are. That’s £250,000 over five years. Even if you’re only missing out on £20,000 annually, that’s £100,000 walking out the door.

Compare that to an investment starting at just £10 per month.

That’s 33 pence per day. Less than a cup of coffee.

Even our most comprehensive programme works out to £13 per day – what most people spend on lunch.

The question isn’t whether you can afford to invest in proper marketing training.

The question is whether you can afford NOT to.

Every day you wait is another day your competitors are building the customer relationships that should be yours.

But I understand you’re skeptical. You’ve probably been burned before by “experts” who promised the world and delivered nothing.

That’s exactly why I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.

For the Results Mastermind Program, I offer the most confident guarantee in the business world:

You will recover the entire cost of the programme within the first two months, or I’ll give you every penny back.

Think about that. The program costs £400 per month. That’s £4,800 for the full year. I’m guaranteeing you’ll make at least £4,800 in your first 60 days, or you pay nothing.

I can only make this guarantee because I’ve seen it work thousands of times. When you apply proven marketing systems consistently, growth isn’t a hope – it’s inevitable.

The only risk you’re taking is continuing to struggle with the same problems that are already costing you far more than this investment ever could.

So here’s my question for you:

When do you want to start making more money?

Would you rather begin building proper marketing systems today, or would you prefer to wait another six months while your competitors continue capturing the clients who should be choosing you? Every month you delay is another month of lost revenue, lost opportunities, and lost peace of mind.

Your skills deserve to be rewarded. Your expertise deserves to be recognised. Your business deserves to thrive.

The only thing standing between you and the success you deserve is a proven marketing system.
