Hello, I’m Declan Droney and I help Entrepreneurs START, SCALE and FIX their businesses
Having started, grown, and sold two businesses, I have experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows of entrepreneurship. It is from these experiences I draw on most. Yes, the theory is important but you need to have walked the walk to really know.

I met Declan Droney during the Best Young Entrepreneur competition when I didn’t knew much about how to tell my story in a way that grows my business. He showed me how to get different income streams for my business and gave me the confidence on going forward. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough as a business mentor
