Business ownership is layered and complex.

Most meaningful decisions:

  • Sit in the grey
  • Involve people, money, and risk
  • Cannot be outsourced
  • Cannot be Googled

Yet many owners make these decisions alone.

Millionaires Shortbread exists to replace isolation with experienced peer challenge, without ego, sales, or noise.

The Name

Is Millionaires Shortbread a cake or a biscuit?

The debate matters because the answer isn’t obvious.

Neither are most leadership decisions.

This group values:

Challenge over comfort

Judgement over certainty

Perspective over opinion

How the Group Works

  • 8–12 non-competing members
  • Monthly half-day sessions
  • Confidentiality is absolute
  • No pitching, no selling, no agenda pushing
  • Professionally chaired

Each meeting includes:

  • Structured check-ins
  • Deep-dive decision sessions
  • Peer challenge
  • Accountability and follow-through

The Role of the Chair

The Chair:

  • Protects the room
  • Enforces discipline
  • Challenges complacency
  • Brings experience, not theory

The Chair does not:

  • Lecture
  • Sell
  • Dominate
  • Solve problems for members

The value comes from the peers — the Chair ensures it stays that way.

Who Is This For

Business owners, MDs, CEOs

  • Established businesses
  • Employing people
  • Carrying financial and leadership responsibility
  • Comfortable being challenged

Who This Is Not For

  • Start-ups
  • Coaches or consultants seeking leads
  • Anyone looking for validation
  • Anyone unwilling to challenge or be challenged

The Commitment

This group only works when members commit.

Members are expected to:

  • Attend regularly
  • Prepare honestly
  • Respect confidentiality
  • Follow through on decisions

This is a boardroom, not a drop-in session.


The Investment

  • £375 / month
    (Paid monthly or quarterly)

What’s Included

  • Monthly half-day peer board meetings

  • Structured deep-dive decision support

Again: this is a peer board, not a subscription.

Don’t take our word for it, Here’s what some of our customers say…..

🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I attended Nick’s “Let’s Fix 2026” Masterclass on Friday 28 Nov 2025. Nick had assembled a great group of business owners for the event. The overall topic of business growth planning was very focused with tangible models and thorough exercises set to identify the priorities for my business in 2026. Nick’s content and presentation material was very relevant for my company BETTER BUSINESS IMPACT and other participants across a wide range of businesses and professional services firms. I now have a clear plan with action points and specific marketing initiatives to implement and will be following up with Nick on an ongoing basis. Overall great value without wasting time on any unnecessary generic theory. Phillip Hole

For me, Nick is a different kind of coach. He has been in business himself and had failures and successes that he is giving factual advice, not just reading off a script. Personally, he is more than just a coach and adds a lot more value. He really listens and is always looking to solve problems that you may not even notice to ensure you and your business are heading in the right direction. Eroll Chimanga

Millionaires Shortbread – Mastermind Board

What this is!

Millionaires Shortbread is a confidential peer board for business owners and senior leaders who carry real responsibility.

  • This is not networking.
  • This is not coaching.
  • This is not a talking shop.

It is a structured, chaired environment where experienced peers challenge thinking, improve judgement, and help each other make better decisions.
