Personal Letter From The Desk of Mark Dawes
“Dear Friend,
Thank you for visiting this page and for your interest in becoming a properly qualified Self Defence Trainer, and in the interest of honesty, transparency and authenticity, I thought I should share something with you as I’d like to be honest with you right from the start.
You see, I’m not just in the ‘self-defence trainer business’, I’m in the self-education and freedom business, and what that means is my passion is helping people just like you live life on your own terms so that you can give yourself and your family the freedom you desire. The freedom to live where you wish, spend more time with your family, follow a passion you love and live without any regret. That’s what I really do.
We are passionate about helping you develop yourself through self-education, which is why we provide everyone who invests in training with us with as much support and help as possible and to this end we run a Closed NFPS Coaching and Mentoring Group on Facebook where I personally teach you the business and marketing strategies we use that have allowed our business to grow and survive the worst two crises in the last thirty years’: the recession in 2000 – 2001 and the financial and housing crisis in 2007 – 2008 and what we have learned from that is how to survive the current Covid 19 pandemic that we are currently going through.
The benefit to you in all of this is that we have been here for thirty years and we’ll be here for you in the future so any investment you make with us is not going to be lost.
But we also realise that our approach is not for everyone, so, if you are someone who is only interested in a certificate or the cheapest price, then sadly we are not the organisation for you, but there are other organisations out there that I am sure will provide that for you.
But, if you are that someone who is looking for a lifelong relationship with an organisation that genuinely cares for you, that will give you all of the help, support and guidance you need to grow and develop and help you achieve the freedom you truly deserve then we are probably a good fit for each other.
Starting your journey as a self-defence trainer may be a daunting one for you.
Lots of people will be all to willing to give you advice and many training providers will be all to quick to tell you that their system or certification is the best because they simply want to flog you a place on their course.
And be very careful about taking advice from people who have never run a successful business. That’s like taking driving lessons from someone who has never driven a car, and it may sound perverse, but so many people do just that. They take advice from friends and family who have never run a business!
This can cause you a lot of confusion and may even stop you from taking the necessary action to follow your dream of turning your passion of helping others into your reality of running your own self-defence training business.
And one day you will look back on your life and it would be a real shame if you all of a sudden regretted not following your passion purely because you were never given the right advice from the right person.
So here’s what I suggest. Let’s schedule a one-hour phone call or a video call over Zoom and Skype to discuss how to get you from where you are now to where you want to be in twelve months time?
There is absolutely no obligation on your part to commit to anything (and I give you my word that I will not attempt to sell you anything) but I am one-hundred percent sure that I can clear up any confusion for you, give you the advice you need and at least give you a clear idea of what you need to do and what you should avoid doing to help you on your path to successfully starting your own business.
Now you may be wondering, why would this guy I’ve never met do this for me? What’s the catch? And it would be absolutely right for you to be thinking like that. Why wouldn’t you? But there is genuinely no catch.
All I want to do is demonstrate to you why we are different from all of the other training companies out there and the best way for me to do that for you is by helping you, because that’s what my true passion is. Then maybe, at some stage in the future, when you decide that you do want to train with someone, I’d like you to consider me as your that someone.
That’s it and let’s face it, you’d never buy a car without test driving it first so why don’t you take up the offer of test driving us (so to speak)?
So, if you’d like to arrange your 1 hour strategy call with me go to this link and contact me directly – www.nfps.info/contact-nfps/
I am genuinely looking forward to hearing from you as I would love to help you live life on your terms and live without any regrets.
Best Regards

Mark Dawes”
