If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or founder struggling with the slow grind of business growth and wondering why you’re “not a millionaire yet,” this episode will give you clarity fast. MentorBusiness.com exists for this exact reason, helping entrepreneurs worldwide understand the real timeline of business mentoring and business coaching success.
Dr. Lewis Haydon, a trusted global business coach, business mentor, and organisational behaviour expert, breaks down why becoming a millionaire takes a decade and why that long-game mindset is the foundation of sustainable business growth, leadership development, and CEO coaching excellence.
You’ll learn how high-performance founders navigate the cycles, including:
• The truth about the 10-year millionaire timeline
• Why “struggle periods” are not failure, they’re the normal entrepreneurial growth cycle
• Resilience behaviours every entrepreneur must master
• How leaders across the globe stay committed when progress slows
• The real relationship between vision, discipline, and compounding performance
Takeaways:
• Millionaire results take a decade, not 12 months; skill, leadership capacity, and systems need time to compound.
• Emotional turbulence is normal, and every successful entrepreneur has gone through the same cycles.
• Resilience beats talent, those who stay in the field longest win.
• Daily discipline builds credibility, especially when clients and teams watch how consistently you show up.
• Vision outperforms goals, because the long-game mission sustains behaviour when motivation fades.
• Entrepreneurs who win adapt, evolve, and keep moving through economic and strategic shifts.
• The breakthrough happens deep in the decade, not during the first few years.
