Geekery as a Service

Helping people overwhelmed by data and tasks achieve more income/productivity by turning their processes and ideas into software solutions.

Chief Geek of Software Solutions in WordPress, Laravel and PHP

InnovaTech Media Ltd

The growing success of our operations at BetterWebSpace led us to incorporate the business as a part of InnovaTech Media Ltd in December 2009. 

BetterWebSpace continues to operate high quality hosting services at honest prices.

Having watched our automation work grow over 2009 we now spend much of our time working on PHP API integrations and backend development alongside our traditional hosting work.

Managing Director

BetterWebSpace

Having grown BetterWebSpace from it's early days of being a sole-trader with one or two customers (mostly friends!) where I knew everyone on a first name basis I now run BetterWebSpace as part of InnovaTech Media Ltd.

BetterWebSpace was setup in 2002 when I had already been a customer of a variety of web hosting companies over the years and found them to offer little in the way of support or value for money.

In recent years we have found ourselves spending more time working more closely with our customers to produce highly customised automation solutions in PHP as well as providing them with great support for their websites.

BetterWebSpace specialises in honest hosting at an honest price!

Are you a business owner tired of software working against you? 

Could having your own software provide you with time/money saving efficiencies or even that mythical unicorn of recurring income? 🦄

Do you feel like you are asking your clients or employees to do the same thing time and time again and the errors creep in, often between the chair and the keyboard? 🤬

Would you like someone to take that painful system make it more efficient and put it on autopilot? Allowing YOU to spend more time with your family and doing the things you love?

Would you like to turn that little idea you have in your field of expertise into a system you could earn a recurring income from?

If so, I can help make that happen!

I have been a geek from an early age, quickly becoming bored of games I began learning BASIC on my ZX Spectrum with my first “Hello World” and the noisy tape deck. It was magic to see something you created appear on the screen - that buzz never left me and the wow moment with a client is still what drives me to this day.

I have a background in Engineering, both at University and then spending 9 years at Motorola, during which time I set up BetterWebSpace allowing me to show that the hosting industry can be honest and fair. BetterWebSpace still serves its clients, but I spend more of my time doing Geekery as a Service - helping people turn their ideas into reality.

A cancer diagnosis in 2005 taught me a lot about life and productivity, why waste your time fighting with data and processes when much of it can be automated? 

Why sit on that idea that could mean you get more time with your family? Life is often too short, I'm fortunate enough to be a long way clear now (and fitter and healthier than I was back then) and I certainly don't want to waste my time - why would you?

More time, more sales, less stress, recurring income, a better balance…. 

Sounds perfect? DM me today!

50% just had their best turnover month EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I've just got out of a Mastermind9 - Mastermind Groups session with the First Friday Squad. Affectionately know ln as (FFS ;) ). 

WHAT A SESSION.

We discovered that 5 of the 10 people in the group have just had the BEST MONTH EVER. 

Unbelievable. 

If you go networking at the moment, you can't speak to 3 people before someone says how hard it is...  

But here, in this group, you have 5 of 10 people having the best month ever. 

So, what's going on. 

Put simply, the people in this group have goals.

They have a plan

They have support, from people who cover their blind spots. 

And they have accountability... 

These people are growth focussed, they like helping other people, and the turn up with a positive attitude. 

In short, who you surround yourself with matters. 

If you want to surround yourself with people who will help you go further. 

Drop me a line, what we do at Mastermind9 - Mastermind Groups really does work. 

I'm especially looking to speak to someone with Finance, Sales or Tech skills to fill a couple of gaps with the Incredibles. 

They meet on the second Tuesday of the month, and the group is full of legends. 

Onwards and upwards, my friends

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.... I just asked Google AI and Chat GPT "which is the best mastermind group for small business owners in the UK" 

Google and Chat GPT both like us enough to make us the top recommendation.

NUMBER 1....

Can you help me? Please ask your brand of Ai and just confirm that it's not the case for everyone? 

It can't be... I'm sure that it must know to show me what it thinks I want to see. 

Right? 

Please let me know...

Working harder won't get you to six figures.

Never has. Never will.

You already know this. 

You've been working hard for years. And your revenue hasn't changed.

Yet you keep doing it. 

More hours. More clients. More hustle.

Because it's easier than admitting the truth.

Your business model is broken.

Not broken because you're bad at what you do. 

Broken because it wasn't designed to scale.

You built a business that needs you in every detail. 

Every decision. Every delivery.

And now you're trapped.

The business owners at six figures? 

They built differently. 

They designed for scale from the start.

Or they rebuilt when they figured it out.

You're still trying to make a broken model work through sheer force of will.

On Wednesday 19th November from 12:30pm to 2:00pm, Emma Canter is sharing how to get to a six-figure business.

Emma grew her consultancy by 82%. 

She's now hiring and scaling properly.

She'll be revealing how to build a business that actually scales.

This is for business owners who are ready to rebuild properly.

Your biggest competitor isn't another business.

It's your own indecision.

You've got a list of things you know you should do. 

Been sitting there for months. 

Maybe years.

Launch that service. 

Fix your positioning. 

Sort out your pricing. 

Get proper systems in place.

You know what needs doing.

But you keep putting it off. 

Overthinking it. 

Waiting for the perfect moment.

Meanwhile, someone less talented than you is making those decisions. 

Building the six-figure business you keep planning.

They're not smarter. 

They're just faster.

They decided. 

You're still thinking about it.

That's why they're at six figures and you're stuck.

GO FOR NO... THE BIGGEST NO, YOU CAN GET... Sometimes, you might just get a yes. 

I talked about this with the brilliant David Samuel last week, and it really struck me. 

Go for a NO with the King, you might just get a member of the royal family. 

Go for Manchester United, you might just get AFC Bournemouth...

Go for British Airways, you might just get easyJet... 

One thing in life and business is universally true. 

You'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take. 

So if you're going to shoot aim for the dream prize. 

Well done Emma Sweet, I wish you all the luck in the world with this. 

Onwards and upwards, my friends

Marketing entrepreneur championing independent businesses, grassroots charities and hidden gems – one illustrated playing card at a time. Founder of Ace Places, bringing together creativity, community and local commerce.

On Saturday, I went for it.

I rolled up my sleeves and headed to the National Trust AGM - not just as a member, but as someone with an idea I believe in.

For ages, I’ve talked about creating a special edition Ace Places Playing Cards pack in collaboration with the National Trust - celebrating their top properties in a beautifully illustrated, collectable, and profitable way. Last year, I had one promising meeting with a buyer, but I realised that talking about it wasn’t enough. I needed to show them.

So I invested in a mini-run of sample packs (huge thanks to Nicola Metcalfe for the stunning illustrations and Simon Denney at Hartgraph Print & Packaging for the quick turnaround), and went along to the AGM, samples in hand.

It was nerve-wracking and exhilarating in equal measure, but I managed to meet Sharon Pickford, Celia Richardson and Tom North - three senior National Trust directors, as well as the big boss Hilary McGrady - who loved the idea and the cards.

Now here’s where I’d love your help. If you think a National Trust x Ace Places card pack is a brilliant idea - one that celebrates their properties, promotes their purpose and helps fund their work—please like or comment on this post.

Your support really matters. The more visibility this gets, the more chance there is of it turning from a bold idea into a beautiful, purposeful product.
Thanks for being part of this journey and special thanks to Levi M. who first suggested an NT pack when the Henley pack launched. ❤️♠️

What are you doing this Wednesday?

We'll be joined by Emma Canter who will be speaking about 'How to get to a six figure business.'

It's the last Mastermind9 - Mastermind Groups event of the year, and we're doing it BIG!

If you’ve got questions about scaling properly, and spending more time working on your business instead of being trapped in it, this one’s for you.

You'll have a chance to ask all the questions you may have about growth.

Link to book is in the comments :)

Onwards and upwards my friends,
