No BS. No Fluff. Just Real Business. From a Man Who's Lived It All.

I’m Mark Lyford. 35+ years in the game. I’ve built multi-million-pound companies, lost it all, done time, and rebuilt from the ground up.
Now I’m building again — smarter, sharper, and more real than ever.

Who the Hell Is Mark Lyford?

I'm not a guru. I’m not a coach with a rented Lambo.

I’m a self-taught, battle-tested entrepreneur who’s been building businesses since the 90s.

I’ve seen seven figures… lost seven figures… and still kept going.

I’ve worked in adult entertainment, publishing, SaaS, AI, ecommerce, racing pigeons, quail farming, and niche online marketplaces.

I’ve served time in prison. I’ve battled through bankruptcy. I’ve rebuilt it all — and I’m still going.

Now, I help real people build real businesses that actually work.

No fluff. No fake promises. Just honest advice, powerful tools, and hard-earned truth.

I live in the trenches of real business every single day — launching platforms, building systems, and helping others do the same. This site is your gateway into what I do, how I think, and the brutally honest truth about what it takes to succeed in business today.
