Mark Layder

Mark is the Author of SuperYou a unique 12-volume self-coaching workbook program. It was one of the first of its kind written in 1993 and garnered well over 10,000 subscribers. He is now the author of BC, “BusinessConnectors”, which launched in April 2021. He has been featured in the “Entrepreneurs on Fire” book with Tim Ferris, Ted Nicholas’ book “Magic Words,” and was the No.1 promoter for Tony Robbins 1st UK tour in 1993.

Furthermore, he was the 1st E-myth consultant in the UK in 1996, Brought Crestcom (ex-American Salesmasters) to UK in 1992, and was the Creator of Winvironment Optimal Performance Research working successfully with mainly ‘soccer’ teams since 1995. Mark was also Dean of Life Plus University in Arkansas from 2000 to 2002. A popular speaker, Mark has shared speaking stages with Jim Rohn in Las Vegas, Edward DeBono, Howard Berg, Ted Nicholas, and Alexander Everett (one of the true founders of the Human Potential Movement). 

Mark Layder counts author, inventor, publisher, importer, hotelier, facilitator, concept seller, recruiter, business designer, and now ‘Business Connector’ as steps on his path to a much better “QoL” (Quality of Life). This “Jack of All Trades” experience has led to DealCraft as the foremost communication skill in the creation of his Connected business structures for Thrival in the 21st Century. Flicking through Mark’s testimonials from ‘Interesting People’ reads like a veritable Who’s Who of voices willing to acknowledge his years of work forming Entelechy: The New Science of Achieving Potential.

Mr. Layder is still available for consulting to make sure that companies are successful and don’t lose money unnecessarily. He can be contacted via his email address which is mrqol@live.co.uk.
