Mike Foster

I’m Mike Foster, The Entrepreneurs Mentor. I’ve built businesses from the ground up, even sold a couple. BUT along the way I also faced those sleepless nights and took the tough decisions that will be familiar to you. I know what it feels like to carry the weight of decisions, the pressure to perform, and the hope that your hard work will finally pay off.

Over the last 35 years, I’ve seen how the right support changes everything.

I am also the Author of the Financial Times Guide to Starting a Business

That’s why I do what I do.
I mentor business owners like you – not just with the theory, but with my real-world experience.
I’ve not read books to regurgitate to you, I’ve learnt and shared my experiences as now an author.
I’ve been on the journey, and I know what it takes to start, develop, grow and exit a successful business.

But this isn’t just about advice.
It’s about strategy. I’ll help you see the bigger picture — and then turn that picture into a plan.
And along the way, I’ll share stories, examples, and case studies from others who have also taken the entrepreneurial journey, faced the same hurdles and found their path forward — not to tell you what to do, but to spark, fuel and inspire what you could do next.

I’ve seen it time and time again — when you gain clarity, confidence follows.
And with that confidence, ideas turn into action. Purposeful action that drives focused activity from which you gain real outcomes — outcomes with an impact that take you closer to the results you’ve worked so hard to achieve and truly deserve.

I’m not just a business mentor or coach.
I’m your sounding board. A strategist that will help you build out your business model.
And as I know running a business can be a lonely place, then I’ll be your trusted partner.

I go beyond motivation – I bring clarity.
My support isn’t simply off-the-shelf advice you can read in a book or pull out off ChatGPT.
This is tailored, personal, and built on your ambitions, your challenges, and your strengths.
