Matt's Journey: From Stuck to Scaling
How one entrepreneur broke through his £1.2M plateau by stepping away from the daily grind
The Entrepreneur's Dilemma
Success can become its own prison. Matt's story is one that resonates with ambitious entrepreneurs worldwide.
Trapped by Success
Matt's business was earning £1.2M annually, but he felt more trapped than triumphant. Despite his success, he was constantly firefighting, working 70-hour weeks, and feeling further from his £3M-£5M vision than ever.
The Breakthrough Moment
"I realized I wasn't going to think my way out of this while sitting in the same office, having the same conversations, fighting the same fires every day. I needed to completely change my environment."
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I was insane, and I needed help." — Matt Thompson
The PowerUp Retreat Experience
Instead of doubling down on more hustle, Matt made a different choice. He stepped away from his business for 5 days to gain the perspective that 5 years of grinding couldn't provide.
