Dream the dream… seriously!Mastermind 9 is truly, genuinely, wonderful. Pete, Sarah and the team are so supportive and are really invested in seeing you succeed. They go above and beyond time and time again to help and guide me.My group are also true legends who listen to my rants, challenges and of course my wins. Having a board of professionals around me who are driven, ambitious and have such a diverse skill set has taken my business to another level.Since joining M9 my team has grown from 1 person to 7 🎉Would highly recommend joining this fabulous community, full of good egg business owners and led by honest, inspiring people!

I've been a member of the Mastermind9 community for the past eight months, and it's been a total game-changer for me to be honest! Running a business can feel lonely at times and it’s so important who you surround yourself with during this entrepreneurial rollercoaster. Being part of this group of ambitious, supportive business owners who genuinely want to help each other succeed has been amazing. The accountability, honest feedback and fresh perspectives have challenged me to think differently, make better decisions and keep moving forward, even when things feel tough.Pete, Sarah and their team have created a community that's supportive, practical and focused on really taking action. Every session leaves me with motivation and new ideas that I can implement straight away. If you're serious about growing your business and want to surround yourself with people who will encourage, challenge and support you, I definitely recommend checking out Mastermind9.

I met Pete and Sarah when I was a few months into starting my own business. I knew instantly I wanted to work with them and would value their support immensely. Being part of Mastermind9 and being able to share my experiences, share my worries and blockers - with a team of people who all knew what I was going through - was/and has been amazing.I wanted to be part of M9 for the support, experience and mentorship side of businesses. Pete and Sarah make you feel instantly at home, no question is a stupid one, no struggle is too much and no mindset can't be changed.I would recommend anyone wanting to start a business, having had an established business, or just needed that community to talk about your business in, to join one of the guys courses.I'm so grateful for all they have done for me :)

2026-06-24T16:30:12.706Z

The support from my M9 group, the check ins with my accountability buddy, monthly meetings and the quarterly planning sessions have been absolutely brilliant for moving my business forward.

2026-06-24T15:15:41.188Z

I've been with Mastermind9 for just over 3 months now and think it's excellent! Pete, Sarah & the team make it work really well. The group have a planning session every 3 months, monthly progress meetings and weekly accountability sessions with a buddy. It all means you stay focussed and there are lots of tools to help!

2026-05-29T12:16:26.895Z

M9 has made me braver. More ready to back myself, try things, and think bigger. I didn't expect that when I joined - I came because I needed my feet held to the fire.I'd already taken on a member of staff with the goal of building his hours until he could go permanent, and I knew that to make that happen I needed to grow the business. I also knew myself well enough to know I wouldn't do it without accountability. You can only get so far on your own.I'd been in other masterminds before, so I knew they could work. What swung it for M9 specifically was that it felt different - broader and more holistic than anything I'd experienced before, and the group is small by design. Nine people means everyone gets a voice every session. I've been in groups where you could hide in the background. If you can hide, you're not really getting the accountability you came for.The Spotlight sessions are something else. I've felt torn to shreds in them, if I'm honest, but I've also come out of them energised and fired up, straight into flow and building something quickly based on the feedback. You realise afterwards that it was exactly what you needed to hear. We only ever see things from our own perspective, and having the whole group ask you clarifying questions and then give you feedback in turn is invaluable.The accountability buddy system is another part of it that I find invaluable. Every week, you and your buddy are checking in with each other, keeping each other honest about whether what you're doing actually lines up with the goals you've set. That's not something you get when you're running a business on your own.Pete and Sarah make themselves available when you really need them, which is very generous of them and means a lot. I've tapped into that resource a time or two. Pete has even given some networking support to one of my team members who was finding his feet - that kind of thing goes above and beyond.The results speak for themselves. When I joined, my income was roughly fifty-fifty between outsourced credit control and Ts & Cs drafting. It's now two thirds outsourced credit control, and the overall revenue has grown. The goal has always been to build a business where more of the income is coming from work that I'm not personally delivering, so that I can spend more time working on it rather than just in it - and more time with my mum, who has Alzheimer's. M9 is helping me get there.M9 is a community. I leave every session with something I can implement. And when you're having a crappy day, your group is there - they'll surround you, make you feel less alone, and then give you a kick up the backside when that's what you actually need.I'd highly recommend M9, but only if you're ready to commit. You've got to turn up every month, you've got to do the 90 day planning sessions, and you've got to be honest, ready to be challenged, and ready to do the work. If you're not prepared to put that time in, you won't reap the benefits. But if you are, it's totally worth it.

2026-04-27T08:53:34.451Z

I joined Mastermind9 to have an expert board who are honest and caring enough to provide support when things go wrong, remind me to celebrate when goals are achieved and challenge when I'm heading down the wrong path. The businesses are of different sizes, in different stages of growth, and each board member brings a unique perspective. Over time we have learnt to totally trust and be vulnerable in a way that is hard to achieve in any circumstances. In addition to our monthly check-ins, we have each other on 'speed dial'. It is now hard to image running a business without having this valuable support.

2026-04-23T15:25:00.595Z

I've been in a Mastermind9 group for over a year now and can attest that it has made a great deal of difference to the way I show up as a business leader. My group are helpful, caring and compassionate. Since joining Mastermind9 we've implemented new processes, improved our profit margins, and grown our company as a result of the goal-setting and accountability in-built into the program.

2026-04-22T11:46:45.532Z

I've been part of Mastermind9 for several years now and it's become one of the most consistent things in my business. As a founder, accountability is hard to come by, and it's easy to let things slide. Mastermind9 fills a gap nothing else really does.I've brought some proper challenges to the table over the years, across all aspects of the business, and what I always get back is either validation that I'm thinking about it right, or a perspective I hadn't considered. Both are valuable, and have made material impact to what we’re doing.What I didn't expect was how much I'd get from helping other people too. Working through someone else's problem sharpens your own thinking in ways you don't anticipate. I leave any session I have with our group, with several new ideas and tools to put into place.If you run a business and you're not in a group like this, you're missing something. I highly recommend the team at Mastermind9 for their practical advice, support, and guidance.

2026-04-21T06:22:19.629Z

Working with Pete and Sarah Mols through the Mastermind9 business support group has been a genuinely transformative experience for my training and coaching business.Their insight, structure, and ability to ask the right questions at the right time have helped me move from simply “running” my business to leading it with clarity and confidence. They create an environment that is both supportive and challenging, encouraging real growth while holding you accountable to your goals.What sets Pete and Sarah apart is not just their expertise, but their commitment to every member’s progress. The group dynamic they’ve built brings together like-minded business owners who are all striving to improve, and that collective energy is incredibly motivating.Since joining, I’ve made better decisions, implemented stronger systems, and gained a clearer vision for where I want my business to go.I would highly recommend Mastermind9 to any small business owner who is serious about growth and wants to develop alongside a driven and supportive community.

2026-04-20T15:27:21.902Z

I have been a member of a Mastermind group for well over a year now.I'll start with what it is not; this is not a Networking group. That is not to say opportunities won't arise and referrals won't come from within the group (they do) but that is not the objective.The Mastermind group members are a support group. The meetings present a chance to share good ideas, experience and wisdom. Wins are celebrated, lessons are learned, and everyone is supported.A key part is what happens outside of the monthly meetings. Not only does the Mastermind structure give you a clear chance to plan goals, set targets, and create the strategies that will make them happen, the accountability buddy scheme gives each member a weekly opportunity to check in with his or her buddy and reflect on whether actions have been taken and things are on target.In my experience, the weekly accountability tracking is the game changer between simply setting goals (that would be nice to achieve) and taking the actions that actually make them happen.

2026-04-20T12:12:28.445Z

I've been a member of a Mastermind9 group for several months now after setting up my own business last year. The rigour and accountability this has brought is really helpful as well as the advice and resources we have access to.I feel part of a supportive community which really helps in the somewhat lonely world of running your own company! I'd highly recommend working with Pete, Sarah and the team.

2026-04-20T10:06:48.416Z

I joined Mastermind9 for support with growing my business. I have stayed with the group because I not only get business support, I also get encouragement, new ideas, and the enjoyment of sharing ideas and helping other like-minded business owners. The weekly accountability sessions are mandatory and keep me on track and consistent with my to-do list, which will ensure I meet my targets each quarter. Each monthly session, there is a realisation that can help me push forward month by month. Thanks team!

2026-04-20T08:15:51.517Z

Running a business can feel like an uphill battle, but joining a mastermind group changes that. I’ve been with Mastermind9 for three years, and the transformation has been profound.Before joining, I struggled to shift into a true "CEO" mindset. I initially worried about losing an afternoon every month, but it has quickly become the most valuable time on my calendar.Having knowledge about businesses allows you to tackle your own challenges with clarity and foresight. You truly have a board of people who have got your back. Together you commiserate and celebrate!Pete and Sarah are amazing. They facilitate with such insight, always dropping "golden nuggets" of advice exactly when you need them. I wouldn't have pushed my boundaries or achieved this level of growth without their support.I highly recommend Mastermind9 for strenght and clarity in business.

2026-04-20T08:10:19.963Z

I joined Mastermind9 around 5 months ago now, at that point in time I was just leaving my previous role, didn't really have a product or a strategy and jumped straight into a Plan90 Q1 planning session with Pete & Sarah. I can only say that it has been the best experience, and helped me catapult my startup from 0 to 15 customers really quickly. The feedback, guidance, planning and accountability that founders get from Mastermind9 AND the cohort of other founders in the same situation is second to none! If you're at the start, struggling or hitting a plateau in your business I recommend you join.

2026-04-20T07:54:37.824Z

I started working with Pete and the team at Mastermind9 in January this year. I love the energy, collaboration and I really appreciate the Friday catchups with my accountibility buddy, it really helps to maintain focus on the goals that we are setting for the business. I highly recommend Mastermind9 for any business leaders regardless of size or structure.

2026-04-19T09:35:43.367Z

Mastermind9 has helped me transform my business. As a sole business owner it was hard to challenge myself and understand, tactically and strategically how I could help grow. Peter, Sarah and the Team are fantastic and always on hand to offer support. The group I am in is brilliant, we're not afraid to challenge the status quo and the breadth of knowledge and experience has truly helped turn things around from both the business and my time. Couldn't recommend enough.

2026-04-19T08:48:26.897Z

I joined Mastermind9 in June 2025 because, although my business was doing OK, I knew it could do better, but I wasn’t sure how to do it by myself. The M9 process of accountability and other likeminded business owners, but with totally different skill sets is incredible. This isn’t just business coaching, it’s a whole board of talented people pushing you to be the best you can be.Since joining M9, I’ve got a clear focus on how to grow my business and I’m seeing incredible results. I’ve had quarter on quarter increases in revenue and I’ve delivered more in my business than I had in the 2 years prior when I did it alone.The accountability groups are great and I always come away feeling focussed and I have clarity.I’d recommend M9 to anyone who wants a little help navigating the next step in growing their business and wants a community behind them to cheer them on. Pete and Sarah are wonderful humans with so much knowledge, passion and energy and truly want the best for you and your business.

2026-04-19T07:49:26.526Z

Being a CEO can be isolating and lonely there’s no one above you to challenge your thinking or keep momentum moving. That’s exactly where Mastermind 9 makes such a difference.What Mastermind 9 offers is incredibly powerful: access to a network of professionals across a wide range of disciplines, alongside peers facing similar challenges. It’s not just advice it’s practical, shared problem-solving with real accountability and support behind it.And that accountability is what truly sets it apart.Pete , Sarah are such a supportive sounding board genuinely lovely people who challenge, encourage and have your back every step of the way. They genuinely care.

2026-04-08T14:07:29.494Z

We've been in the M9 squad for 18 months now, 13 years into business. We joined because we had just lost a huge contract, we were needing a safe space to process what happened, the impact and how to get back on track. Mentally, since Covid, business has been HARD. I took a leap of faith and havnt looked back. The tough times that just kept coming but were met with support, knowledge, solutions and frankly a place to lay out all our vulnerability. M9 has helped us realise what we want out of business, provided a clear path on how to achieve it and accountability to keep pushing through. I have met and are now friends with some incredible business owners that inspire us everyday to be and do better. We wouldn't be where we are today without Peter, Sarah and the team, and we've got so much further to go, which I know we can achieve with this shared wealth of knowledge and support.

2026-04-02T15:01:13.603Z

Joining Mastermind 9 three years ago came at a pivotal moment in my journey as a charity leader. My sector had shifted beyond recognition; those traditional funding streams were disappearing, while the needs of the families we support were becoming increasingly complex. I felt totally stuck.Then Sarah and Pete came into my world at exactly the right time! They really were my “saving Grace” in every sense.Leading a charity of our size brings a unique challenge. We’re not small enough to fly under the radar, yet not large enough to have dedicated HR or marketing teams. Like many organisations, we knew we needed those functions, but I’d no idea where to start. What Mastermind 9 offers is something incredibly powerful: access to a network of professionals across all those disciplines, alongside people facing similar challenges. It’s not just advice, it’s practical, shared problem-solving and accountability.And that accountability makes all the difference. Being a charity CEO, there’s no one above me pushing things forward. Mastermind 9 provides that structure. It gives quarterly planning, monthly problem-solving sessions, and weekly check-ins. It kept me moving, especially in those moments when it’s easier to pause or overthink.But for me it tackled something I hadn’t even acknowledged: the loneliness of leadership. Being at the top can feel incredibly isolating. I can honestly say I feel far less alone because of my Mastermind 9 group.You can see the difference in those who fully engage, they grow. Not in a straight line, because there are always ups and downs, but they are supported, challenged, and guided through it all.For me, being part of Mastermind 9 has been transformational. It has helped keep my charity alive at a time when I’ve seen many others close. It has strengthened my leadership, built my resilience, and developed my skills in ways I couldn’t have achieved alone.I am not the same person I was three years ago. I am a better version of myself, because of Pete, Sarah, and the entire M9 community.

2026-04-02T08:59:18.711Z

Being part of Mastermind9 has been a real game changer for me. As a new business owner I made the commitment early on to join Mastermind9 and now I am no longer sitting on my own wondering whether things will work; instead, I’m encouraged to trust the process and stay committed to it.The structure has been invaluable having quarterly reviews through Plan90 giving me clarity and focus for the future, monthly reviews to stay on track and weekly check-ins to focus on the to-do which will get me to the goals. Most importantly, the support has been exceptional, not only from fellow business owners but also from Peter Mols and Sarah Mols.Joining Mastermind9 was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

2026-04-01T07:45:17.026Z

Mastermind9 is a very supportive group for small business owners. I have found it really useful and it is great to have the support of other business owners in my group who are going through the highs and lows of running a business, and dealing with similar problems and challenges.Update: I have now been a member of Mastermind9 for over 3 years (Jan 2023). It has helped massively in giving me - and my business - structure, ideas, knowledge, great advice and support. The accountability side of it is, for many of us - including me - a hugely important part of MM9. Business owners can easily get dragged into the "urgent" (daily client/staff issues) and away from the "important" (processes, growth, strategy) and with the 'accountability buddy' system, this means you are continuously supported to refocus and stick to those important tasks you've committed to.Before my MM9 journey, I was struggling to work out the direction I wanted the business to go in. I lacked clarity of thought and had never really set proper goals. This is no longer the case and is probably the biggest gain for me. I now feel that I know where I want the business to go. I have a great team (and my fellow MM9'ers has helped with some difficult decisions in that respect) and my business has grown year on year - both in terms of turnover and profitability. I also feel much more in control and have a much clearer idea of what I want from my business.

2025-06-18T15:09:07.708Z

The new Mastermind9 Group event today was incredible. So many gems from the panel who generously shared their experiences of building and growing their own businesses. I'm leaving this session inspired and energised!

2025-04-01T14:13:53.436Z

Joining a Mastermind group is the best decision that I have ever taken to grow and improve my business. I regret not having done it earlier.My Mastermind peers have provided with insights into business growth, support and guidance when things got tough, a sounding board when I had to make hard decisions, kept me accountable for my own work and being there for me when I had my moments of doubt. If you are running a business, joining a Mastermind group is a no brainer. The wealth of knowledge and expertise that the group holds is so rich that you will not regret joining.

2025-03-05T09:59:46.587Z

What a fantastic networking group for growing businesses! I love the energy, tight structure and emphasis on learning and developing together. This group is full of great people, highly recommended.

2024-09-04T13:10:38.776Z

Networking in is networking with a difference. No sales pitches, no pushy individuals, no hard core sales. Just a bunch of professionals meeting to support each other, build up relationships, build communities and exchange thoughts and ideas. It is just brilliant! I would always shy away from networking events, since I joined, I can't wait for the next one to happen. I always leave feeling energised, inspired and supported. Thank you Networking In team.

2024-08-21T11:54:08.285Z

Bang in the middle of the summer holiday season, you might expect a networking group to take a break or see a dip in visitor numbers. Not at Networking in...! Lots of energy from 30 different business owners and professionals, including plenty of first and second time participants. Some new items (entertaining but still with an underlying business theme) and a thought-provoking talk from Erica Mckay. Her top tip - although giraffes don't eat steak, you can still persuade them to buy it so that their lion "friends" don't eat the giraffes legs. Where else could you get wisdom like that at 8:30 on a Wednesday morning???

2024-08-21T11:16:46.170Z

Fantastic group and networking leader where I never fail to learn and be inspired by a great group of entrepreneurs

2024-08-07T12:29:54.633Z

Pete and the team have created a wonderful network which is supportive and inspiring. They have some fantastic speakers and you just know you are going to come off the Zoom call smiling
