This book isn’t just another business book—it’s a wake-up call.
Scaling a company isn’t a straight line to success. It’s messy, lonely, and full of tragic advice from people who’ve never built anything real. That’s where Dominic Monkhouse comes in. He’s grown multiple businesses from zero to £30 million and knows exactly where ambitious founders screw up.

This book tackles the ten biggest growth traps that trip up founder CEOs and gives you the no-nonsense, practical strategies to break through. You’ll learn why sales commissions are a waste of money, why most meetings should be scrapped, and why your hiring process is probably attracting B-players at best.
Forget one-size-fits-all business dogma. This is about building a business that works for you—a company that scales fast, attracts top talent, and thrives without the usual drama.
If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and want real-world strategies that actually move the needle, Mind Your F**king Business is the book you’ve been waiting for. Read it. Apply it. Scale faster.
These Are the Raw, Uncomfortable, Questions You Will Confront
How can I build a sales team without bribing them with commissions?
Top performers don’t need financial carrots—they need a killer product, a clear sales process, and a team that isn’t fighting over scraps.
How can I stop wasting my life in pointless meetings?
Most meetings are just expensive distractions. Cut the fluff, keep them short, and make sure they actually lead to decisions, not just more meetings.
How can I stop hiring mediocre talent and recruit A-players?
The best people aren’t scrolling job boards. If you’re not actively hunting top talent, you’re settling for whoever’s left.
How can I scale this business without drowning in corporate bollox?
More managers, more processes, and annual appraisals won’t help you grow—they’ll just slow you down and suck the life out of your company.
How can I make company culture more than just some PR fluff?
Culture isn’t a slogan on a website—it’s who you hire, who you fire, and what behaviours you celebrate every single day.
How can I grow this business without burning cash on marketing?
If your product, customer experience, or execution is broken, no amount of ad spend will save you. Fix the foundation first.
