Mark Beggs, Dyslexic Entrepreneurship and Morning Show Host

Most business deals don’t start in a boardroom.They start with a cup of coffee.This morning on my daily show I talked about how deals actually begin when you're looking to buy a business.People often think acquisitions start with lawyers, accountants, and formal negotiations.But the reality is very different.Many deals start with a simple conversation.Years ago, when I bought one of my businesses, the entire deal started with a cup of coffee and an offer of €100,000.To be honest, it was a mad, stupid offer.But it did one very important thing.It started the conversation.That conversation eventually turned into a €5 million deal.The lesson?You don’t need the perfect offer. You don’t need the perfect timing.You just need the courage to start the conversation.If you're thinking about buying a business or doing deals, remember:Many opportunities begin with something simple…A coffee and a conversation.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

In this episode of Mark’s Morning Show, I talk about something that almost no one prepares you for when doing a management buyout, management buy-in, merger, or acquisition — what happens on Day One after the deal is done.Entrepreneurs spend months — sometimes years — preparing the transaction. You raise capital. You build the PowerPoint decks. You prepare cash flow projections. You pitch to banks, financial institutions, or VC funds. You negotiate. You deal with setbacks. You finally close the deal.Then the papers are signed. The money changes hands.And the next morning… you walk into the business as the new owner.That’s where many leaders fall down.When I paid £5 million for a company after nine intense months of negotiation and due diligence, I handed over £3 million at closing — and the following morning I didn’t even have an office. I was operating out of a boardroom. More importantly, I didn’t have a clear Day One plan.What were my critical priorities?Who did I need to meet first?What message was I giving the team?What decisions couldn’t wait?What culture was I setting from hour one?Too many entrepreneurs focus on getting the deal done but fail to plan for leading the business from Day One.In this episode, I break down:Why the first 24 hours after a management buyout or merger are criticalThe psychological shift from “buyer” to “leader”The common mistakes new owners makeWhy clarity beats complexity in transitionHow to create a practical Day One execution planThe importance of visibility, communication, and decisive leadershipIf you’re planning a management buyout (MBO), management buy-in (MBI), acquisition, or merger — this episode will help you avoid one of the biggest leadership mistakes entrepreneurs make.Because closing the deal is only the beginning.Day One is where leadership really starts.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

Dyslexia is often spoken about as a difficulty. In business, it can be a serious advantage.In this episode, we explore why dyslexia brings strengths that modern companies desperately need — creative thinking, innovation, big-picture strategy, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial vision.Too many organisations still focus on what dyslexic employees struggle with, instead of recognising the competitive edge they bring to teams. From leadership and innovation to resilience and lateral thinking, dyslexia can drive growth when it’s understood and supported correctly.We discuss:Why dyslexia is linked to entrepreneurship and innovationThe strengths dyslexic thinkers bring to businessHow companies can benefit from neurodiverse teamsShifting from “supporting a weakness” to “unlocking a strength”Why inclusive workplaces outperform the restIf you’re a business owner, HR leader, manager, or entrepreneur, this episode challenges how you see dyslexia in the workplace — and why embracing neurodiversity isn’t just good ethics, it’s good business.Because different thinking builds better companies.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

There was a time in business when I kept moving the goalposts.We’d get close to a target… and instead of letting the team hit it, celebrate it, and build confidence — I’d stretch it.“Let’s push a bit more.” “Let’s make it bigger.” “We can do better.”Sounds ambitious, doesn’t it?In reality, it slowly drained momentum.What I learned the hard way is this: Small wins build big businesses.When you allow yourself and your team to hit a target, you create belief. Belief builds confidence. Confidence builds performance. Performance builds growth.In this morning’s show, I talked about disciplined goal setting, leadership responsibility, and why constantly changing the target can quietly damage culture and motivation.If you’re an entrepreneur, founder, or leader trying to grow a business the right way, this conversation will resonate.#Entrepreneurship #Leadership #GoalSetting #BusinessGrowth #FounderMindset #TeamCulture #SmallWinsMark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

In this episode of Mark’s Morning Business Check-In, we explore a critical question for every entrepreneur and business owner: what type of salesperson are you?Are you rushing to close the deal, truly listening to your customer’s needs, or simply waiting for your turn to push a solution that may not fit? The way you sell determines not only your results today, but the quality of customers, repeat business, trust, and long-term growth you build in the future.We also discuss one of the biggest early-stage business challenges — the pressure to make sales — and how this can lead to discounting too quickly, underselling your value, or offering the wrong solution. Real success in sales comes from understanding your true value, your product’s worth, and building loyal customers who trust you to deliver.If you’re an entrepreneur, founder, or salesperson looking to improve your sales mindset, customer relationships, and long-term business growth, this episode is packed with practical insight and real-world experience.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

In this episode of Mark’s Business Check-In, Mark speaks directly to entrepreneurs and small business owners about a trap many people fall into early: getting distracted by selling their company instead of focusing on building a strong business.After the first year or two, it’s common to start asking: “What’s my business worth?” “Who would buy it?” “How do I exit?” But Mark explains why this mindset can pull your time, energy, and focus away from what actually grows the company — customers, revenue, systems, and momentum.Mark shares real-world insights from being involved in business deals himself, including how due diligence, negotiations, and sale discussions can take months (even a year) and drain leadership focus — especially in a small company where the owner is the key driver.The core message: stay on the journey, build a 10–15 year plan, and keep executing. If an offer comes, great — but don’t build your daily thinking around an exit that may never happen. Focus on growth, resilience, and long-term direction.This is a practical episode about entrepreneur mindset, business strategy, long-term planning, and staying focused when business feels hard.selling your business, business exit strategy, how to sell a company, entrepreneur mindset, small business strategy, business growth, long term business plan, focus in business, business planning, scaling a small business, business owner advice, founder focus, building a business, due diligence process, business acquisition, entrepreneurship Ireland, entrepreneurship UK, Mark Beggs, Mark’s Business Check-In, business coaching, business mentorMark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

Are you really ready for a crisis?Over the past two shows, we’ve been talking about crisis management and the uncomfortable truth many businesses avoid:It’s not the crisis that destroys companies —it’s the lack of preparation inside the management team.I shared my own experience of losing over €500,000 when a customer went bust… and the hard lesson that our team wasn’t ready.Today’s follow-up went even deeper:sometimes you must actively test your management team to see if they can handle the unthinkable — product recalls, lost customers, cash shocks, or sudden disruption.Because in business, the question isn’t if a crisis will come…it’s when.🎧 Catch the podcast and ask yourself one question:Is your team truly prepared?#CrisisManagement #Leadership #BusinessContinuity #RiskManagement #Entrepreneur #ManagementTeam #BusinessGrowth #PodcastMark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

n today’s episode, we talk about marketing and advertising — and why the real goal hasn’t changed in 50+ years: get people to notice you, remember you, and buy from you.I start with a brilliant story from the advertising world: a daring Guinness pitch designed to prove one thing — if you want the account, you have to be unforgettable. That story leads into the bigger lesson for every business owner: standing out isn’t about spending the most money — it’s about being clever, consistent, and memorable.We cover why marketing can feel like “a shotgun approach” (sometimes you hit the right person at the right time, sometimes you don’t), and why big numbers like webinar sign-ups or followers don’t always translate into sales.You’ll also hear practical ways to market on a small budget:Where your customers eat, drink, shop and waitWhy local marketing still works (hairdressers, barbers, takeaways, posters, leaflets)How to test small ad budgets on social media without burning cashWhy your message, slogan, and brand cues matter more than the platformWhy it’s smart to study competitors and copy what’s already working (then improve it)If you want more customers and better results from marketing, this episode will help you stop guessing and start focusing on what actually works.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

If you’re running a business, one of the hardest jobs you’ll ever do is building the right team around you — especially at senior level.In today’s episode, I share a story (straight from my book You Need a Neck Like a Jockey’s Bollocks to Be an Entrepreneur) that shows what “teamwork” really looks like… and what it feels like when you turn around and realise your team isn’t behind you.I also share a real business lesson from when we hired a senior sales leader who looked perfect on paper — and within months we learned they were the wrong fit for our culture. The cost wasn’t just money (including an expensive exit package). The real cost was culture, momentum, pressure on the rest of the team, and the cracks that start to appear across the whole company.This episode is all about:How to choose the right person for senior rolesWhy “brilliant” people can still be a bad fitThe hidden cost of getting hiring wrongPractical ways to test culture fit before you commitWhy small businesses can’t afford “it’ll do” hiresIf you’re hiring, promoting, or building a management team — listen before you make the next appointment.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

In today’s podcast, I shared a deeply personal journey about how discovering MindStore — and the work of its founder, Jack Black — changed the direction of my life when everything felt lost.After a robbery in which I was stabbed, I was forced to close my business and start again from the ground up. I went from running a business to flipping burgers, facing a reality where the future felt uncertain and the goals I once had seemed completely unattainable.Finding MindStore became a turning point.Through powerful mental training and visualisation techniques, I began to rebuild belief, regain focus, and see possibilities where I had only seen setbacks. Step by step, that shift in mindset helped me move toward achievements that once felt impossible — changes that I genuinely believe would not have happened without the influence of Jack Black and MindStore.For more than 30 years, MindStore has helped individuals, leaders, and businesses harness the power of the mind to:Reduce stressIncrease creativity and clarityImprove performanceAchieve meaningful personal and professional successThis episode is for anyone who feels:Knocked down by life or businessStuck, overwhelmed, or starting againUnsure how to reach goals that feel out of reachBecause sometimes the biggest transformation doesn’t begin with circumstances — it begins with how we think.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

This morning’s conversation explored the word “chancer” — a term often used in Ireland and the UK to describe someone who appears to be taking opportunities without fully knowing what they’re doing.But in business, being a chancer can mean something very different.Many entrepreneurs start with vision, belief, and courage, not perfect knowledge. They make mistakes, learn as they go, and bring the right people around them to turn an idea into reality. What looks like luck or guessing from the outside is often bravery, persistence, and willingness to try.The dictionary defines a chancer as “a person who exploits any opportunity to further their own ends.” Today’s discussion challenged us to rethink that meaning — because sometimes the people willing to take the chance are the ones who build, create, and lead.This episode is for business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone starting something new who may feel unsure but keeps going anyway.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

You can’t control tomorrow — but you can control today. Your actions right now, or even an hour from now, shape how today unfolds, and today is what starts the journey forward. Life and business are about moving forward, not wasting energy looking back. What’s done is done — even if you’re not happy with the past.One of the biggest pressures business owners feel is being told they should be “working on their business, not in it.” The truth is, you can only work on your business when you have people who can work in it. Someone handling accounts. Someone managing credit control. Someone in marketing, sales, and most importantly, someone answering the phone.Until you have that, you have to work in your business.I’ve been to networking events where I left feeling inadequate — like a failure as an entrepreneur — because I wasn’t spending a full day a week working on the business. The reality was simple: at that time, it was just me. And when it’s only you, working in the business isn’t a weakness — it’s survival.Don’t let gurus, websites, speakers, or early-morning talks make you feel stupid or behind. Working in your business is exactly what you should be doing until turnover and profitability allow you to build a team.When we were building our business, the time we worked on it didn’t happen during the day. It happened two or three evenings a week, after everyone else had gone home. We’d sit in a restaurant with a spreadsheet and a plan — that’s where strategy happened. During the day, we worked in the business.Only later, when the team was in place and the business could run without us, could we step away for a full day or even a weekend to work on the business — without worrying because everything was still running.So if it’s just you right now, don’t feel inadequate. You’re not behind. You’re building. Work in your business until it works — and then, and only then, work on it.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

his morning’s show explored why Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is still one of the most important books every business owner and entrepreneur should read.We talked about why all business owners are creative by necessity. Running a business means constantly solving problems, adapting to challenges, and finding ways forward when the path isn’t obvious. Creativity isn’t optional in business — it’s a survival skill.The conversation also focused on perseverance. Success in business rarely comes from one big moment; it comes from continuing when things are difficult, uncertain, or uncomfortable. Often, people give up without realising how close they are to a breakthrough — an event, opportunity, or decision that could change their life for the better.This episode is a reminder that mindset, belief, creativity, and persistence matter just as much as strategy. For business owners facing challenges, it’s about staying in the game long enough for the change to happen.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.

Making someone redundant is never easy, but how it’s done matters more than most people realise. In this episode, I talk about the responsibility business owners and leaders carry when they have to let someone go. Behind every redundancy is a person with hopes, dreams, responsibilities, and a future, and for a period of time, that decision will make life harder for them.I discuss why treating people well during redundancy isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s the human thing to do. From offering support like upskilling opportunities, CV help, or making introductions to new roles, there are ways to soften the impact and show genuine care.Redundancy doesn’t have to be handled coldly or mechanically. We are all human, and how we treat people in difficult moments stays with them. They may not thank you today, but they may remember how you treated them in the future.As I often say, you never know who you’ll meet again in life. Treat people with respect, dignity, and kindness — especially when the conversation is hard.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.
