Advice From George King - The "mr. 5% Man"

Issue 103

"Finding the guiding hand of success can be like treading water. Even seasoned individuals like myself; the hands-on guy behind Glengyle Commercial Consultants.

I have been charting courses for businesses since 2013. With a career that spans the Royal Navy and executive education, I am affectionately dubbed “Mr. 5%”, serving as a beacon of hope that individuals and businesses can tap into.

“My time in the Royal Navy instilled in me a sense of discipline and strategic thinking, qualities essential for steering businesses through stormy waters. Serving on HMS Richmond taught me the importance of adaptability and resilience—virtues I bring to every consultation session with my clients.

“At Glengyle Commercial Consultants, our strapline, “Your Success is My Business,” speaks volumes about our commitment to our clients. My role as a business mentor is multifaceted, ranging from business analysis to problem-solving. My aim is to empower individuals and decisionmakers to take charge of their destinies, holding them accountable for their actions. Whether guiding a fledgling start-up or revitalising a stagnant enterprise, I am dedicated to fostering sustainable growth and longevity.

“The nickname “Mr. 5%” stems from the sobering statistic that only 5% of startup companies survive beyond five years. My mission is to ensure that my clients belong to that elite percentage. Through meticulous mentoring and strategic interventions, I strive to defy the odds and propel businesses towards enduring success.

“Two principles that guide my practice are “Management by Exception” and “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” These sayings underscore the importance of discernment and pragmatism in decision-making, ensuring that resources are allocated judiciously, and efforts are focused on areas ripe for improvement.

“In the dynamic realm of business consultancy, I stand as a stalwart advocate for efficacy and longevity. Armed with a wealth of experience and a no-nonsense approach, I continue to steer my clients towards the shores of success, one consultation at a time.”
