Beyond Realistic™. Expect Extraordinary.
“Realistic” is the most expensive word in business.
It sets the price a founder charges, the opportunity a business owner dismisses and the ambition a leader scales back without telling anyone.
But what if the reasoning behind those decisions is an assumption dressed up as a fact?
Guinevere Ellis is The Mind Director™ and founder of Guinevere Ellis International. Her work sits where the mind meets the commercial decisions that create, or cap, success and wealth.
Head of finance within British Aerospace at 27, Guinevere has spent more than 25 years in the rooms where decisions about money, risk and opportunity get made. Since 2020, she has generated well over £1 million in revenue in her own business, working part time and largely within school hours and term time; also without marketing, PR, social media or Ads.
At the centre of her work is False Logic®: the sensible-sounding reasoning that leads people to accept limits without examining the evidence.
“Our customers won’t pay that.”
“We need another year.”
“Growing the business means sacrificing more of my life.”
Guinevere identifies the assumption, the decision it produces and what it's costing.
