Dawn McGruer FRSA FCIM APM APC

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.

Over the past 25 years, my clients have collectively generated £45M+ in revenue — and I’ve been recognised among the top 1% of business coaches globally for helping women build profitable, purpose-driven empires without burnout or hustle.

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.

I’m honestly disgusted by the amount of scammers on LinkedIn right now.

This week alone, eight people messaged me saying:
“XYZ used you as a testimonial because you worked with them — would you recommend them?”

Let me be crystal clear:
These people are scam artists.

They’re operating unethical businesses, and they are using real founders’ names without consent to get credibility they haven’t earned.

It breaks my heart to say this but:
👉 Don’t believe testimonials being thrown around right now.
👉 Don’t believe name-drops unless you verify them.

The rebrand agencies…
The cookie-cutter lead gen “gurus”…
The ghost writers pumping out the same recycled content…

It’s all starting to look the same, read the same, and honestly?

It feels like churn, not connection.

Social media is losing the thing that made it powerful in the first place - authenticity, integrity, and real human relationship.

Since I got hacked and lost months of work, I’ve been rebuilding.

Posting consistently. 
Showing up. 
Creating real conversations.
Growing my network one meaningful connection at a time.

So please — if you ever see my name in someone’s pitch,
don’t believe it unless you hear it from me.

I’ll always tell you the truth.
And I’ll continue to stand for integrity, transparency, and real leadership in a space that desperately needs it.

I’d live to know what you think and where social media is heading…

Anyway this week I was in Dubai relaxing with my partner making plans for 2026 and I’m off to Miami on Wednesday to spend time with 50 more female founders - my last trip of 2025!

Wealth isn’t an event. And that’s exactly why most people never get it.

So you feel the pull… but you’re not moving.

You’re waiting. Pausing. Holding.

But sit with this for a moment:

Wealth is a process — not an event.

Freedom isn’t a moment — it’s a strategy.

You can tell yourself “it will come,”

You can set a date, buy the balloons, imagine the celebration…but you’ll only end up disappointed.

Because there is no magical day where you suddenly
got healthy,
got wealthy,
got happy.

It doesn’t happen in an instant.

It happens in a daily evolution of magnificence - steady growth, compounding momentum, micro-actions that build empires.

Promise yourself this:

70% of your time goes toward the growth that gets you to your goal.

Not long learnings.
Not busywork.
Not doing “all the things” because they feel productive.

Those things are nice to face… but they don’t move you.

They don’t build wealth.
They don’t build freedom.

Your ecosystem must be built on conscious growth,
not a wish.
Not a hope.
Not a someday.

Because the moment you stop waiting for an event and start living the process - everything changes.

So let’s get that process in flow — now.

Not when you finally feel ready.

Because in 90 days, if you commit to conscious growth instead of waiting for an event…

You’ll be richer.
You’ll be freer.
You’ll be happier.

And you’ll look back and realise this was the moment everything shifted.

Ready to step into your evolution?

Let’s chat today. 

DM me…
Worse case scenario, you’ll learn something about scaling strategy & millionaire mindset, best case you start living your dreams as reality!

My 4 Rules for December

1.	It’s not over until it’s over.

Yes, I slow down from the 22nd and take two full weeks off…but the magic begins on the 1st of December.

This is where the millionaires are made, in the quiet consistency before the world clocks out.

2.	Forecasting & Planning.

December is where I map out my entire year ahead, so my 2026 becomes nothing but clients, content, and cash.

When you have a system that brings leads in daily and monthly converts them with ease, everything shifts.

Your future feels lighter.

The numbers excite you.

The panic dissolves because you know cash will continue to flow.

You start showing up differently, because you’re already living the life of your 2036 self now.

3.	A goal is just a wish. A plan makes it reality.

My signature 90-minute Strategy Sessions deliver pure clarity, fast epiphanies, and immediate money-making momentum.

We’ll plug your profit drains, uncover your fast-cash opportunities, and create your Money Map, the blueprint to scaling to £100K+ months and beyond.

4.	December decides your destiny.

Don’t wait for January to “feel ready.”

Millionaires move now.

DM me the word MAP to book your Strategy Session.

Let’s set up your most profitable year yet.

Picture this: you walk into 2026 already sitting on £500K forecasted revenue, while everyone else is still scrambling through the January chaos trying to catch up.

November is the quiet power move month - the moment where Q1 is won or lost.

Lock in your model now and glide into the new year composed, intentional, and already ahead of the market.

Spend December in peace - not pressure.

Sip your champagne, enjoy the season, and smile while everyone else is in the frenzy of last-minute campaigns.

Let February be the month you expand with elegance, not exhaustion.

I don’t set resolutions - I architect evolutions.

Make the move now. 

Secure the freedom, the time, and the cash flow your future self is already thanking you for.

Future you is calling — time to reclaim your millionaire identity!

Three destinations.
Three transformations.
One year that will redefine who you are as a founder, a leader, and a creator of wealth.

Barbados. Marrakesh. Mauritius.

Barbados • March 16–21
The Visionary Reset - Start your year with clarity, confidence, and a 7-figure scaling strategy.

Marrakesh • Jun 22–26 
The Icon Era - Step boldly into your next level of power, visibility & wealth.

Mauritius • Sept 7–11 
The Legacy Expansion - Close your year with deep renewal and a long-term wealth plan.

Each retreat designed to unlock a different version of you - the visionary, the icon, the legacy-builder.

These retreats aren’t holidays.
They are recalibrations.

Immersions where clarity drops in, your power returns,
and life finally feels aligned with the founder you know you’re becoming.

Intimate groups, deep support, 1:1 coaching woven into every day…and connections that stretches far beyond the trip.

If your body is whispering “this is the year” — trust it.

Your next chapter is only one decision away.

Want the details?…our early bird and Black Friday offer e ds Sunday 30th…

Comment or DM “RETREAT” and I’ll send everything over.

Your elevation begins the moment you say yes.

“Most founders are sitting on a $1.6M asset… and don’t even see it.”

Most founders are sitting on a 7-figure asset…and still trading time for money.

We build licensing programmes for founders who want to turn their IP into a global network of certified partners.

This isn’t theory.

It’s a proven model that can generate $1.6M+ in licensing revenue within 36 months, with 1,600%–2,000% ROI — without ads, franchises, or bloated teams.

✔ High-margin recurring income
✔ Fast capital recovery (often 3–4 months)
✔ Authority positioning as the global standard
✔ Scalable impact without operational burnout

This is how founders stop selling time and start owning scalable assets.

DM LICENSE for details.
