SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR, ATHLETE, DOG DAD
Hi, my name is Dan Martell, a serial entrepreneur, husband and athlete from Canada.
Today I’m an award-winning Canadian entrepreneur, investor, best-selling author, and coach to over 1000+ business owners.
But life wasn’t always this way…
When I was just 15 years old, I found myself in a high-speed chase with the cops.
And I nearly didn’t make it.
After my rough start, I thought I’d try building a tech company — FAILED.
At 19, I started a hosting company — failed at that too.
Then I went into consulting for 3 years.
I hated it.
Only years later, things turned around for me…
At 24, I started my first successful company called Spheric Technologies. But before I succeeded, I almost crashed Spheric into the ground…
I’d bootstrapped the company from the ground up. But in spite of all the growth, we were starting to stagnate.
No matter what we did, we couldn’t identify our biggest opportunity
to kick-start sales.
We were fumbling around in the dark. And we were throwing money at the wall to see if
anything would stick.
The bottom line was this:
I was stuck in a rut where I was stressed out, working 100 hours a week, and operating on
3-to-4 hours of sleep per night… and I had nobody to turn to for the critical advice every business owner
needs to know about.
On any given day, I would wonder:
• How do I get in front of my ideal customer?
• How do I do this thing called social media?
• Who can I afford to hire a team?
• How do I build a productive sales process?
• What types of things should I be looking for from a videographer or editor?
• How should I be leading my team?
Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
I ask, because there’s a lot of dead-wrong information out there. It can confuse you and it can divert your focus from where it actually should be.
The good news is, if you’re a business owner looking to ramp up sales and smoothly build up your team, there are answers.
And over time, with the help of the right mentors, books, and advice, I believe I’ve found them.
I broke through the revenue ceiling with Mixology Flaired, saved my tips and invested in my first of 5 restaurants during the pandemic. That venue does over $10M revenue.
Since I have had the opportunity to invest in many more hospitality ventures, buy my first home, vacation without the world catching on fire around me and really get a taste of what I thought at the time was the founder’s “dream life”.
Fast forward a few years, and I had built two more successful events companies (The Lawren Group and Collins Cocktail Club).
Knowing precisely how rocky my journey was. Knowing how many awkward mistakes I made along the way…I wanted to “pass on the torch” by helping someone else get there in half the time — with fewer
scars and horror stories.
Which is why I created S4 Group and why I share all of what I’ve learned on this website, Instagram and on my YouTube channel. So if you’ve found value in my content, it’s my honor to help you scale up your business.
And if you’re interested in working with me and my team more closely to experience growth, I’d like to
invite you to send me a message.
Either myself or my team will get back to you asap to see if we can help.
Let’s make today a major turning point in your journey as an
entrepreneur.

Cheers,
Shea Lewis
