Fantastic service and support from Alex and the team.

Nicola and I are incredibly grateful to all the support and advice received from Alex and the other coaches.

They have helped us set up Writing Dr, from the initial scoping session of our business idea, they have then helped us with setting it all up, pricing, marketing, sales, accountability sessions, and so much postivity and ongoing support.

The course has lots of online materials which we have watched and read as we have gone along and are always there, so useful for dipping back into for reminders and guidance.

We attend the coaching sessions weekly, which have really helped us with specific aspects of setting up the business, and support with sales calls and conversions.

Although relatively new into our journey, almost one year old, we have already published our book, our clients books and have landed 5-figure clients.

The support from Alex and the team really accelerates the process, and their guidance has helped us avoid the costly mistakes that many other start ups make!

From broken to life changing

Shifts to Success should be called "broken to life-changing!" My life has changed beyond comprehension. I was the last person to ever think about running my own business - until I met Alex!!! I have now taken a hobby and turned it into an income. Alex and his team's commitment, passion, and genuine desire to help you are amazing, and you know that you have a whole community cheerleading you on. There is always someone to answer your questions and there is no such thing as a stupid question (or at least nobody makes you feel that it was a stupid Q!). I have gone from being clueless about how to set up and run my own business to having my own business, working with who I want when I want. Nobody to tell me that I can't have my RDs and a work/life balance that I have NEVER known in the job! Thank you, Alex. You are an incredible person who changes lives for the better every day. I am forever indebted to you for the newfound freedom I am blessed with.

Alex and the team have literally transformed our lives. Myself and my partner joined in September 2022. Our mindset has completely changed and with the support of shifts to success have successfully started a business in order to leave the police service for good.

The support and advice we have received is second to none and the S2S community is always on hand to offer support and share wins!

It’s daunting starting a business and I truly believe we would never have done it if it wasn’t for S2S.

If you are thinking about joining …. DO IT! You won’t regret it.

Excellent mentorship! Life changing!

I had struggled to start a business for years.. jumping from idea to idea not really making progress.
I had watched how well the first cohort had done and knew a couple of the members from a previous job so really wanted to sign up.
I have never looked back! I have gone from having no business whatsoever to having a business creating me a brilliant regular income! The mentors have been excellent and the community as a whole is extremely supportive. I cannot recommend Alex and his team enough!

Alexander Seery and Shifts to Success…

Alexander Seery and Shifts to Success are fantastic. I followed them for a while prior to signing up. The support around developing business ideas, strategies is amazing. The community is amazing not just in terms of business development but to reach out to when you need it. I run a dog training business and had the courage to leave the Police. ✅👍

Should you join Shifts To Success?

Shifts To Success is an excellent company to work with if you are either in the Police or have left, want to start your own business or scale your existing business.

What if you don't have a business idea yet? That's ok. They will help you find one that really suits your personality and desire.

When I joined I had left the job and had my own business, but Shifts to Success really helped me be better at what I was doing, and my income went up too.

I have been with them for two years now and I have never regretted it once.

The online course is excellent and the private Facebook group is really supportive too, as well as being informative with regular updates, business methods that work, FB lives and advice.

You do have to do the work at your end though.

They show you the steps but it is you that has to decide to walk it.

What they will do is support you 100% though. If you are off track, you will be helped to steer back on the correct course.

I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Return in investment

You get out what you put in and I will list what we got out below. We joined in March 2019 with an existing business and myself still in the police -

- Came out of covid with a 19% price increase
- Had the confidence to make 2 members of staff redundant making us more profitable.
- Set up a second company for myself
- RESIGNED FROM THE POLICE MARCH 2020
- Added an extra £100,000 to our turnover of our existing business by 2022
- Passed £85,000 turn over for my business in 2022.

So for the small sum of money invested we have turned over almost £200,000 in our businesses. Hows that for return on investment.

BUT it's not just about the money. I left the Police and turned my negative mindset round into a can do mindset.

I have made life long friends and have met lots of other S2S members who have helped me accelerate my business.

This doesn't happen passively. If you don't do the work you wont get the results. The good thing about the S2S platform is there are lots of different ways to learn. Video lessons, masterclasses, accountability calls.

Make time for you and make the change with S2S.

Shifts to Success is an honest and…

Shifts to Success is an honest and wholesome business training company designed for Police Officers who want to learn the precise steps of how to successfully build a business from scratch, take action and change their lives. I’ve done just that, from following the course and taking the steps that are carefully delivered in a way that is easy to implement and get on with. They won’t do the work for you, you have to take responsibility and get stuck in, but there are so many mentors, industry experts and cutting edge tools and techniques that will get you on the right path to becoming an entrepreneur. Like anything, you have to put the work in. The majority of cops out there have ALL the skills to become business owners, if they could let go of the attitude and mindset that they’re currently trapped in. Without Shifts to Success, I’d not have the direction, education or the skills to be a successful business owner, of the transformative business that I have today. I can highly recommend them as a first class service to anyone who wants to completely alter their lives, rather than simply complaining about how life is unfair! If you’re ready to dig in, alter your mindset approach and do something which will finally allow you to live your life with more purpose and income, then look no further. Alex is a genuine, very down to earth chap who is highly knowledgeable, present and is hands on with all of his clients and he will bend over backwards to help you. No one is ever left to their own devices if they need help or support with something, including mindset - he’s invested in everyone and is generous with his time - and that makes all the difference. The community is a giant family, supporting and helping one another out. I’ve made life long friends and business connections and I can honestly say that who I was 2 years ago, is a shadow of who I am now. I now work globally doing what I absolutely love with my own amazing clients and I finally get paid my worth, to make significant changes to the lives of others. You have one life and many opportunities. If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got. My only disappointment is that I didn’t start this journey sooner!

Life changing !!

I have been a member of Shifts to Success for over two years now and I cant thank them enough for how they have changed my life.

Since joining Shift to Success my outlook on life has totally changed and I feel much more in control of my future which has had a positive impact on my overall health. I have gone from being a burnt out and stressed police officer to a full time business owner. In this short time I have started two businesses which both were in profit within the first year of trading. This would never have been possible without their guidance and support.

All the mentors are at the top of their game and nothing is ever too much hassle. If you want to take control of your future and have all the structure and support you will ever need to start and maintain a successful business then please choose Shift to Success.

You won't be disappointed!"

Shifts to Success you really do make a difference..

My partner joined Shifts to Success and completed their program and continued with support. We both attended an in person quick start day, where we were able to meet the mentors and had a full day explaining what was on offer from Shifts to Success.

Since then my partner has completed Shifts to Success program and successfully set up two businesses.
Without the program, guidance and support from the entire team, I’m know that this would not have happened as successfully as it has. He also continued with the follow up support which has been invaluable.

As a business owner myself I have also learnt so much from the way my partner started and continues to grow his business, from the methods he was taught by the Shifts to Success team.

I have to say my partner put in the hours and hard work to both of his businesses, and followed the advice he was given. Which is why he has been able to become successful.

This program not only changed his career and working life, it gave us a husband and dad back to be present in our lives without the ‘job’ ruling us.

So thank you Shifts to Success you really do make a difference to the ones who put the work in themselves.

I have been a member of S2S for little over a year and in that time I have gone from a broken cop to a business owner, free from the police work that was damaging me so much.
It is true that you have to put the work in and that it is hard and that you will at times feel lost but the community is full of support if you seek it - however you do need to let people know.
If you’re ready to grow, ready to change and in yourself ready and committed to make a difference to your life that give it a look.
For what it’s worth, after investing in myself, I’ve since earned that back and am on track to well exceed my police wages by end of year two.

5 star review for 5 star mentors

5 star review for 5 star mentors, support, guidance and cohorts. From no business idea or knowledge to my own business. I have never known support and encouragement even close to these guys everyone wants to see you succeed and will support you every step.

I was sceptical to start with, but STS really has changed my life! I’ve felt safe, listened to, supported, empowered and my personal development /self confidence has been pushed to a new level.

Being mentored is certainly the way forward!!

Initially this appeared to be focused to help cops that are struggling with the negatives of the job. As I was desperately unhappy and I would said vulnerable in terms of thought process I signed up. £600 ‘ one off charge ‘ is what I paid. No more mention of the 300 fee plus vat per month when the 3 months ran out. I aired my thoughts and opinions and was told that shifts to success wasn’t for me. I also
Explained my struggles and was offered zero help. The only focus was to get me to sign up. I was very quickly deleted off the owners social medias platform and subsequently removed from the program. Money making, hard selling, focusing on people that are vulnerable. I would like to really warn other of these hidden charges. Some of it was useful but mostly I am
Displeased with the tactics used clearly thinking only of his profits as oppose to peoples lives.

I can see the owner has now stated this is a false review and I can assure you it is not. I have verified this via trust pilot. But again proves my points on his tactics.

I would like to set the record straight truthfully as your review seems to be very different from what actually happened which is a shame. What I am about to explain was also discussed with you.

During your 90-day launch initial session, we explained that to stay as a full member, you had to attend certain check in calls with our team. We have evidence of this, as we record everything.

During this period, you had missed a check-in call appointment, without giving us the courtesy of rearranging.

We then booked another with you, and again you did not show up, without giving us the courtesy of letting us know you couldn't make it.

Two calls you did not attend.

We also looked into your attendance via our systems and you had not attended many of our live training.

During this period, you then explained to me my team had not been in touch with yourself.

When I looked into this, it turned out we actually had been in contact with you, a number of times, to book you back in for you check in calls and to check everything was ok. This was even done by two separate team members. We have emails and messages as evidence of this.

During our conversation on Facebook, I also provided you with my personal email to discuss things, which you ignored.

Unfortunately, we can only do so much to support you, especially when you do not use our support resources.

We fully understand you have personal and professional matters to take care of. But I do not appreciate being lied to, by telling me, that my team had not checked in on you. This was a red flag for us.

This is why I got the feeling from you that you don’t want to be a part of shifts to success and it isn’t for you.

If my intentions, we're all about profit, then we would have invited you to stay with us over the next 12 months, to help you build a business and change your life, as we have done for so many others.

Instead, I made the decision that we would not be inviting you, due to your actions. (We would rather you spend your money elsewhere, as you wouldn't get the most out of our support).

By the looks of things due to your false review, I made the right decision.

I am sorry it has come to this and I sincerely wish you all the best in life, in whatever you choose to do.
