https://youtu.be/ijP5ryfPYQA?is=71I7kfqB6A7aQi09 Business is all about evolution and we are evolving from educator to ecosystem. To successfully scale a business, you need access to three essential things: Education. Services. Capital and funding. I call this the Holy Trinity of Business Growth. Through Trade Mastermind and Valente Consulting, we are building an ecosystem that gives business owners access to everything they need in one place. I’ve recorded a full video breaking down exactly how our business is evolving and why we are moving from being purely an education provider to becoming a complete business growth ecosystem. One thing I always say to every business owner is you can never afford to stand still. You must continue to evolve, adapt and improve your operating model. Because what got your business to where it is today will not necessarily get it to where you want it to go next. Evolution is not optional if you want to remain relevant, competitive and successful.

This week on Unfinished Business, I reveal the biggest venture I’ve ever launched. For years we’ve built businesses that educate, support and scale entrepreneurs. Now it’s time for the final piece: Valente Ventures. This is the long-term vision to build the UK’s version of Acquisition.com by investing in, partnering with and acquiring great businesses through one connected ecosystem. This is just the beginning. https://youtu.be/ijP5ryfPYQA?si=uW6fb1ThamLQEH6k

This week on Unfinished Business, we're changing the construction industry forever. For decades, trades businesses have competed on technical qualifications. But what if the biggest competitive advantage wasn't how good you are at your trade... it was how good you are at running your business? Go behind the scenes as we launch the world's first Trade Mastermind Business Accredited programme in partnership with City & Guilds, creating a brand-new standard that recognises exceptional business owners, not just skilled tradespeople. From leadership and systems to customer experience, profitability and building a business customers trust, we're redefining what success in business looks like. This isn't just another qualification. It's the beginning of what I believe will become one of the strongest USPs the construction industry has seen in decades. https://youtu.be/pCH-Pz1pkew

🍻 BIG NEWS VALENTE’S COFFEE & COCKTAIL LOUNGE IS COMING TO TM & VC HQ One of the things I promised when we moved into our new headquarters was a rooftop bar. Unfortunately, due to the structural work required, that’s now a 2027 project. But I didn’t want everyone to wait. So this July, we’re launching Valente’s Coffee & Cocktail Lounge as a pop-up experience inside Trade Mastermind HQ for the remainder of 2026. We’re also in the final stages of partnering with a brewery to launch our own exclusive Trade Mastermind, Valente Consulting and Millionaire Mastermind lager, which I’m really excited about. Trade Mastermind HQ is becoming far more than somewhere you attend a training day. It’s becoming a place where entrepreneurs can learn, network, get mentored, access services, build partnerships and become part of a community all under one roof…It’s an Ecosystem!

For the past 3 years, I've lived and breathed my series, Unfinished Business, in the hope of showing the world in real time how I've become who I am today, and who I will become tomorrow. Most successful people tell their story once they've already made it. They write a book, do a podcast, or sit down for an interview and talk about what happened. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to document the journey as it happens. The wins, the losses, the pressure, the setbacks, the people, the decisions, and everything that comes with building and scaling businesses. Unfinished Business follows my journey from millionaire to billionaire, giving people a front-row seat to what it really takes to build something extraordinary. If you're interested in business, entrepreneurship, leadership, personal development, or simply seeing what goes on behind the scenes of building companies, I'd love for you to join me on the journey! https://bit.ly/unfinshedbusinessseries

I left my business for a week and everything went to chaos… For the first time in years, I handed over the reins to our Sales Director, Christopher, and stepped away from the day to day operation to see what would happen without me. What should have been a normal week quickly turned into chaos. A major leak broke through the ceilings and a brand new signage installation became a complete nightmare. Find out what went down on the latest episode of Unfinished Business out now on the Joseph Valente YouTube channel.

I talk a lot about hard work because it’s one of the most important ingredients for success in business and life. When I was building my businesses, 100-hour weeks weren’t unusual and If you’re passionate about what you’re building, that’s not sacrifice it’s part of the journey. But when I talk about hard work, some people assume that means I don’t believe in working smart and that’s not true. I am all about working smart and working smart is all about leverage. It’s 100% about building systems, it’s about hiring great people, It’s about multiplying time through technology, automation, structure, and leadership. As you scale, you can’t do everything yourself, you need people working hard, you need systems that can withstand pressure, you need infrastructure that allows the business to grow without everything depending on you. There’s no point working smart if you’re not willing to work hard and there’s no point working hard if you’re not learning how to work smart. What do you think?
