The Impact Retail Success Club
The Impact Retail Success Club is a monthly group for growth-minded independent business owners who want to keep learning, stay motivated, and improve the quality of their thinking as they run their business.
It’s designed for owners who are serious about developing professionally and value being part of the right conversations, rather than trying to figure everything out on their own.
Members take part in regular online group sessions and have access to the Impact members’ area, which includes training videos, expert interviews, and a practical resource library to support ongoing development.
Entry to the Success Club is by application and invitation.
Membership is £50 + VAT per month.
The Impact Retail Mastermind Group
The Impact Retail Mastermind is a small, in-person Mastermind for established independent retail business owners who want clearer thinking, better decisions, and sustainable growth.
Hosted at Turnbull’s Food Hall, the group meets every other month from January to December, bringing together a maximum of five owners for full-day, peer-level conversations focused on what really drives long-term success — clarity, profitable growth, positioning, leadership, and accountability.
This is not coaching or training.
It’s a deliberate space to step out of the business and work on the business, alongside other serious operators.
The Mastermind runs on an ongoing basis, with an investment of £600 per month. Places are limited and offered selectively to ensure the quality of the room.

Business Growth Days
Business Growth Days are deliberately small, in-person strategic thinking days for independent business owners who understand that they are a critical part of their business’s brand and commercial success.
This is not a workshop or a sales training course. It’s a facilitated day designed to help you step back, think clearly about your role as the face of your business, and make better decisions about how your brand shows up — through you and through your team.
You’ll work on your business alongside a small group of like-minded owners, exploring how leadership, visibility, and simple sales behaviours shape customer experience and results.
The first Business Growth Day takes place on Tuesday 10th March, starting at 8.00am, hosted at the Turnbull's Foodhall in Alnwick, Northumberland.
Places are strictly limited to protect depth, focus, and quality conversation.

Getting in the Right Room: Why Growth Rarely Happens in Isolation
One of the biggest shifts in my business journey didn’t come from working longer hours, finding a new strategy, or chasing the latest idea.
It came from getting into the right room.
Over the years, almost every meaningful leap I’ve made in business has been influenced by being surrounded by other driven, honest, growth-minded business owners.
People who weren’t impressed by excuses.
People who asked better questions.
People who challenged my thinking when I was too close to my own business to see clearly.
What I’ve noticed is this:
Successful business owners rarely build their businesses in isolation.
They learn from others.
They share openly.
They’re prepared to be uncomfortable.
And they value perspective just as much as knowledge.
Being part of mastermind groups has helped me:
Spot blind spots I didn’t know existed.
Make braver decisions, faster.
Raise my standards, not just in business, but personally.
Stay accountable when motivation dipped.
And I’ve seen the same pattern play out time and time again with other successful business owners.
Real growth doesn’t usually come from doing more.
It comes from thinking differently.
Often, that shift in thinking only happens when you put yourself in an environment where challenge, support, and accountability are built in.
That’s why I believe so strongly in the power of the right room, particularly for food retail business owners who face unique pressures, decisions, and responsibilities every day.
Not every environment is right for every person.
But for those who are serious about growth, surrounding yourself with the right people can be transformational.
A good question to reflect on is a simple one:
Who are you currently learning from - and who’s challenging your thinking?
Sometimes the next level of your business doesn’t require a new tactic.
Just a different conversation.
Have a great week.
Mark.
