The Business Growth Coach® | Forbes Mentor | Multi–7-Figure Founder | Best-Selling Author & Speaker

I’m Dawn McGruer — a multi–award-winning entrepreneur, author, and strategist on a mission to help female founders and visionary leaders scale to £100K+ months and beyond through the fusion of neuroscience, psychology, and high-performance business strategy.

At just 21, I launched my first business — and by 33, I was mortgage-free. Since then, I’ve built four multi–7-figure ventures, including my marketing agency and Business Consort – The Digital & Social Media Academy, a CIM-accredited global study centre with over 30,000 graduates, a 99% pass rate, and a reputation for excellence in digital marketing education.

As the creator of THE DREAMLIFE™ Method and The Millionaire Scaling Strategy™, I help entrepreneurs:
✨ Rewire their subconscious for success through neuroscience & quantum psychology
✨ Overcome performance plateaus & scale sustainably
✨ Build global brands, license their intellectual property, and step into iconic leadership

I’m proud to be a Forbes Business Mentor, Best Female Speaker (PSA), and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) — and the host of Dawn of a New Era, a Top 3% Global Podcast exploring health, wealth, happiness, and high performance, with over 25K+ downloads per episode.

Linear thinking feels logical.
Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3.

But linear thinking is designed for stability, not scale.

If you want predictable, modest growth… linear thinking works.

If you want exponential growth, category leadership, and £100K+ months, you need expansive thinking.

Because the most obvious path is usually the most crowded one.

The strategy that feels “sensible” to your brain is often the exact reason your business plateaus.

Why?

Because your brain is wired for safety and familiarity, not expansion.

This is where psychodynamics and neuroscience become powerful.

Expansive founders understand that scaling requires working with the mind, not against it.

They recognise patterns like:

• Temporal Discounting – the brain prioritises short-term comfort over long-term wealth. So founders avoid bold moves that create massive future returns.

• Cognitive Dissonance – when your current identity conflicts with the next level of success, your brain unconsciously sabotages progress to remove the tension.

• Status Quo Bias – the mind prefers what already exists, even if it’s limiting growth.

• Loss Aversion – psychologically we fear losing what we have more than we value what we could gain.

• Identity Thresholds – every founder has an internal “success ceiling” their nervous system is comfortable with.

This is why scaling isn’t just strategy.

It’s identity expansion.

The founders who reach the next level stop following the path…

They architect a new one.

They question assumptions.
They collapse timelines.
They think in possibilities, not probabilities.

And they train their brain to tolerate the discomfort of becoming someone bigger.

Because expansive thinking is the bridge between where you are and the version of you capable of building what’s next.

Think like a millionaire.
Scale like a CEO.
Expand like an icon.

No alternative text description for this image

Your business can only scale to the level your nervous system feels safe holding.

That’s why some founders plateau…
even when their strategy is correct.

Because scaling isn’t just about better systems, smarter marketing, or a new sales funnel.

Those things matter. 
Of course they do.

But what most people don’t talk about is this:

Your physiological and psychological state shapes the decisions you make every single day.

When your nervous system is dysregulated…

Your brain moves into protection mode.

You overthink.
You hesitate.
You second guess.
You avoid the bold moves that actually create expansion.

And then you try to solve it the only way founders are taught to solve problems…

Push harder. 
Work more. 
Do more.

But pushing from pressure rarely creates scale.

It creates burnout.

Real scaling happens when your brain and body are operating from clarity, safety, and expansion.

When your nervous system is regulated, something powerful happens:

• Your thinking becomes sharper
• Your decisions become faster
• Your messaging becomes clearer
• Your leadership becomes more magnetic

Opportunities appear that you literally couldn’t see before.

Because your brain isn’t in survival mode anymore.

It’s in creative, strategic, visionary mode.

This is why the founders who scale the fastest don’t just master business strategy.

They master their internal state.

Their physiology.
Their psychology.
Their energy.

Because scaling isn’t just systems.

It’s nervous system capacity, energetic alignment, and the ability to stay in flow while building something extraordinary.

So if your business feels stuck right now…

Before adding more strategy, ask yourself one powerful question:

What state am I operating from?

Because your next level might not require more effort.

It might require more regulation, more expansion, and more trust in the capacity you’re building.

Think like a Millionaire.
Scale like a CEO.
Expand like an Icon.

As we enter March, you can feel it.

A shift.
A surge.
A spring awakening in business and belief.

Ideas flow faster.
Energy rises.
Momentum builds.

And here’s what we do know…

Business confidence and growth intentions tend to strengthen in the first half of the year.

Founders make bold decisions.
Teams move faster.
Revenue accelerates.

The next 90 days aren’t just another quarter.

They set the trajectory for the entire year.

This is the growth spurt for founder-led businesses.

These are the days that create life-changing results.

So let me ask you —

What would it feel like to add an extra £100K to your business in the next 90 days?

Now imagine doubling that.

If you already have a proven offer and traction, £100K isn’t outrageous.

In the right model, with the right moves, it can even be a 30-day play.

The real question isn’t “Is it possible?”

It’s — what’s stopping you?

When you look at founders who inspire you…

When you see the bigger rooms…
The bigger months…
The bigger impact…

What holds you back?

Because scaling is 80% mindset and 20% strategy.

Most founders don’t lack capability.

They lack clarity.
Precision.
Nervous system leadership.
And daily high-leverage actions.

If you had the exact daily actions mapped out — Would you execute?

If the answer is yes…

Then you’re ready.

And the next 90 days could change everything.

Let’s talk.

Eight years ago I hosted my first retreat.

I had no idea then how powerful these rooms would become… or how many lives would be changed inside them.

Today I’m on a flight to Barbados, preparing to host my 11th retreat.
And as I started writing this… I glanced at the clock.

11:11.

A quiet reminder that when something is aligned, the path keeps unfolding.

Because retreats are never just “events”.

They are intentionally curated spaces for transformation.

I keep them small — only 10 founders — because the work we do isn’t surface level. 

It’s deep, personal, and powerful. 

When the room is intimate, every voice is heard. Every story matters. Every breakthrough has space to emerge.

From the moment the women arrive, something shifts.

We spend real time together — in sessions, over long dinners, during walks, experiences, and quiet moments of reflection. The kind of time most founders rarely give themselves.

And that’s when the magic happens.

The unconscious mind begins to unlock.
Barriers soften.
Ideas expand.
Dreams that once felt distant suddenly feel possible.

There are moments of epiphany, moments of laughter, moments of peace, and moments where someone realises their life and business will never be the same again.

Because every part of these retreats is designed with intention.

Every session.
Every conversation.
Every environment.

All created to help founders rethink what is possible.

To unlock the mind.
To dissolve the barriers.
To create space for expansive thinking.
To build new neural pathways of belief.

And when belief shifts, identity shifts.

And when identity shifts…
everything changes.

The most beautiful part?

The bonds that form in these rooms last far beyond the retreat itself.

Friendships. Partnerships. Support systems.

Women who truly see and champion each other.

Eight years.
Eleven retreats.
Hundreds of breakthroughs.

And I still feel the same excitement boarding the plane every single time.

Because I know somewhere over the next few days, someone is about to have a moment that changes everything.

And there is nothing more powerful than witnessing that.

Barbados… here we come. 🌴

Let’s get your story told.

Jack Dyer🕺

If your outreach feels cold, it’s usually because your presence is.

People say outreach is quantity.
More connection requests.
More messages sent.
More follow-ups.
Copy/paste.

And then wonder why replies are slow
or their new conversations go nowhere.
Because from the other side, it's COLD.

There’s no context. No recognition.
No reason to engage beyond curiosity.

Outreach works differently when someone already knows who you are.

When they’ve seen your thinking.
When they recognise your name.

When they understand what you stand for before you ever land in their inbox.

That’s not luck. That’s clever positioning.
We spend a lot of time shaping that layer.

Making sure businesses aren’t only visible, but recognisable.

So when outreach happens, it doesn’t feel like an introduction.
More like a continuation.


That’s how we approach growth at Storytold™
Build recognition first, then start the conversation.
When trust is already built up with your audience.

A strong website explains what you do. BUT AUTHORITY is what makes people want you.


Most businesses focus on getting the site live.
Pages written. Design signed off. Job done.

But after that, something important is missing.
There’s nothing reinforcing your message.

Nothing building recognition, or keeping you
front of mind once someone clicks away.


So your site exists… but your clients don't come.


Authority doesn’t live on a single page.
It’s built through repeated exposure.
Showing up in the right places like
#LinkedIn, with the same intent.

That’s how people arrive at a
website already convinced.
So this is where we focus.
Building your *authority*


Shaping how businesses show up publicly.
Defining what they need to be known for.

Writing stories that reinforce your position
day by day, week by week, so your website
stops doing all the heavy lifting on its own.

The result is simple. People don’t land cold.
They arrive with context. With confidence.
With a sense of who they’re dealing with.


Websites explain. Your authority *convinces*.


That’s the result of working with Storytold™
So trust is built repeatedly with your audience.
You get more sales, when you get your story told.

For International Women’s Day I’m celebrating the incredible women of Storytold.


Today I can tell you how inspiring they are
(and for it only to sound a LITTLE cringe).

Not as a tickbox exercise or because I’m trying to look good. But because they work incredibly hard, they’re extremely caring and they truly believe in our vision: to help leaders get their story told.

But more than that. One of them
(you know who you are) believed
in me before Storytold™ existed.

She’s the reason we’re here today.

Also 75% of our clients are female,
leaders from the UK and the USA,
and all are excellent at their craft.

Just like my team are excellent at ours.

These incredible women help you get your story told.

And as far as I’m concerned, they should be celebrated every day.

How I realised the most dangerous place to be is in my own head.



In 2023 I’d draft a post
when I had time, feel like
an imposter, and hit delete.

I’m an introvert, so I didn't know
how to share my knowledge here
without sounding like a narcissist.

I saw so many leaders sign deals on
LinkedIn, I knew it was the place to be.
But I couldn’t get out of my own head.

Every day I stayed quiet, others were
signing opportunities that I wanted.

It was frustrating. I knew the more
I stayed quiet and invisible, the
more my silence cost me.


By January 2024,
I’d had enough.
I said F%CK it.
I’m doing this.


I realised I didn't need
to be a content creator.

I needed a system to
share my perspective,
and attract others who
aligned with my values.

So I built Storytold™


✅  We build your reputation,
❌  so you can focus on leads.

✅  We extract your message,
❌  so you don't have to think.

✅  We share your experience,
❌  so you don't look arrogant.

✅  We own the daily operations,
❌  so you can own your authority.


I built this company to solve my own
invisibility, and went from 740 friends
to 55,000+ peers following in 2 years.

If you’re tired of being the best-kept
secret in your industry, stop trying to
think your way out of it. Start operating.

I’m Jack. I help leaders get out of their own heads and into the market. Request a Private Authority Call via the link in my profile.

P.S. I’ve created free PDFs for you:

Your audience trusting you, and then buying from you, isn't like flicking on a light switch.


A CEO left a comment on my post yesterday
that completely hit the nail on the head:
"Authority is built with a lot of reps."

He is 100% right.

Nobody walks into a gym,
lifts a dumbbell just once,
and walks out ripped.
(I wish)

And nobody writes one post on LinkedIn and suddenly becomes an industry icon. Trust, like muscle mass, takes determination, hard work, consistency, repetition, and time.

You have to prove yourself over & over again with every post until the market believes you. And no matter how much you wanna post, a CEO doesn’t have time to do it properly.

You’ll be inconsistent, even with a marketing department. And like at the gym, inconsistent bursts of energy don’t get you anywhere, they just make you tired.


That is exactly why I built Storytold™


Brilliant leaders are losing deals
because they simply don't have
the hours in the day to show up.

We're the system that puts in the reps for you.
We do the heavy lifting to grow your authority,
without sapping a single minute of your focus.

You bring your career expertise.
My team and I bring consistency.

Want clients? Get your story told.

P.S. I don’t go to the gym. I’m too busy making leaders like you ripped instead.
