GRANT STAIN — ENTREPRENEURIAL PERFORMANCE
Build the entrepreneur.
Build the business.
Build a life you
actually want.
Real-world entrepreneurial education from someone who's spent more than 30 years starting, building and running businesses.
No get-rich-quick promises. No Lamborghini next week. Just practical lessons from someone who's earned his business stripes.
THE PROBLEM
Starting a business has never been easier.
Being an entrepreneur is still bloody hard.
AI can help you research an idea, create a brand, build a website, write a marketing campaign and automate half your business.
What it can't give you is experience.
It can't teach you how to react when everything goes wrong.
How to sell when you'd rather hide behind your laptop.
How to make decisions when there isn't an obvious answer.
How to manage yourself.
How to look after your health and relationships while building something that matters.
Or how to enjoy the bloody journey.
That's the stuff I'm interested in.
ENTREPRENEURIAL PERFORMANCE
I don't believe high performance means waking up motivated every morning.
Some mornings you wake up thinking:
"Oh shit. How am I going to get through today?"
The difference is having a system.
Goals. Habits. Processes. A diary. The right people around you.
Tools for dealing with problems. A clear idea of where you're going.
You put the work in until those things become instinctive.
That's what I call Entrepreneurial Performance.
Build your entrepreneurial operating system.
VALUES
THINGS I BELIEVE
01
Work like a maniac
Put the work in until the right behaviours become instinctive.
02
If you're in business, you're in sales
Learning to sell changed the trajectory of my businesses.
03
You don't need a business plan
You need direction, action and the ability to adapt.
04
Health first
If you're unhealthy or dead, nothing else matters much.
05
It's not all about the money
Money matters. It just isn't the definition of success.
06
Earn your business stripes
Experience comes from doing it, getting things wrong and carrying on.
SEVEN AREAS
Success is bigger than your business.
Health
Money
Business
Relationships
Learning
Giving
Fun
Some people add faith.
The point isn't my list.
It's understanding yours.
A successful business doesn't compensate for being miserable everywhere else.
Build something successful. But build a life you actually want to live too.

WHO IS IT FOR
Thinking about starting?
Start with the foundations before you develop the bad habits.
Already building?
Stop winging it and put some structure behind what you're doing.
Lost your mojo?
Sometimes you don't need another business idea. You need to get yourself working properly again.
ABOUT
I'm Grant.
I've been an entrepreneur for more than 30 years.
I've started businesses in design, recruitment, property, printing, apps, franchising, supercars, digital marketing and a few stranger things along the way.
I've built businesses quickly.
I've lost businesses.
I've bought business partners out and separated companies from friends.
I've worked seven days a week and wondered how the hell I was going to sort things out.
And I'm still doing it.
I still love creating, selling, leading, solving problems and building businesses.
I'm not a textbook entrepreneur who became a coach.
I'm an entrepreneur who coaches entrepreneurs.
core values
What I stand for.
My Core Values aren't words somebody designed for an office wall.
They're part of the system I use to make decisions about my businesses, relationships and life.
They've changed over time as I've changed.
And one of the first things I teach entrepreneurs is how to understand their own.
01 — Caring about delivering awesome
02 — Mutual respect
03 — It's important to be nice
04 — Be open minded, be creative
05 — Pro-activity rules

Two destination events each year.
