Growth Without The Waste: Grow Your Business Without Losing What Matters Most

You've Worked Too Hard to See It All Go to Waste

You've poured everything into your business - Your time. Your savings. Your energy. Even parts of yourself that no one else sees.

But... despite all the late nights and early mornings, it feels like you're constantly pushing uphill.

You hire agencies, run ads, buy the latest tools, and chase every new growth tactic that promises results.

And still... the real, lasting growth you dream of never seems to come.

The problem isn't your drive, your vision, or your willingness to put in the work.

The problem is waste.

Wasted money on campaigns that don't deliver. Wasted time chasing distractions that go nowhere. Wasted energy on activities that drain you instead of building you up.

I know this because I've been there.

Not as an observer... but as a founder standing right where you are now.

From My Struggles to Your Solution - Founder to Founder

I’m Mark Preston...

I don't have a business degree.
I don't have a marketing degree.
In fact... I never went to university.

Everything I know... and everything I share here... comes from being in the trenches, scaling and growing my own businesses over the past two and half decades.

I’ve built companies from nothing but an idea and my own determination, and along the way... I made every costly mistake you can imagine...

I wasted money on the wrong marketing.
I wasted time on the wrong priorities.
And I pushed myself to the edge trying to do it all.

>>> It nearly broke me.

But... through those hard lessons, I discovered something powerful...

>>> When you strip away the waste... you create a business that grows with clarity, control, and purpose.

I’m not the perfectly polished 'growth expert' you see on stage in a tailored suit. I'm just a regular guy with grey hairs I've earned through sleepless nights, relentless trial and error, and the heavy responsibility of keeping a business alive.

Everything I do - whether as a Growth Partner, a Digital Growth Speaker, or the author of Customer Growth Unlocked - is fused with the Growth Without The Waste DNA.

It's the red thread that runs through my work... not based on textbooks or theory... but on real-world experience and scars earned in the fight to grow.

Growth Without The Waste exists so you don't have to go through what I went through.

It's the solution I wish I'd had when I was battling through the chaos - built to guide you through the same challenges, but without the same pain.

Why Growth Without The Waste Exists

Most founders don't fail because they lack ambition or ideas... They fail because they unknowingly confuse activity with progress.

It's easy to believe that if you just spend more, hire more, or do more... growth will follow.

But... here's what really happens...

Marketing budgets vanish with little to show for it.
Agencies chase vanity metrics instead of real customers.
Tools and subscriptions sit unused while costs spiral.
Teams work hard but pull in different directions.
You... the founder - burn out trying to hold it all together.

Growth Without The Waste exists to protect you from these traps, giving you the clarity to focus only on what truly matters so every pound, every hour, and every ounce of energy counts.
