Who is John Lamerton?
A self-styled “normal bloke from Plymouth”, John Lamerton is nothing special.
He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth – his dad was an electrician, and his mum worked in a sewing factory. John left school at 16 with a handful of GCSE’s, and his English teacher’s parting words echoing in his ears: “you’re no writer, are you Lamerton?”.
After embarking on a career with the civil service – a path that he now calls “the Day Job from Hell”, John started an internet marketing company, despite:
- Not knowing anything about running a company.
- Not knowing anything about marketing.
- Not even owning a computer.
Undeterred, John picked up a copy of “Internet Marketing for Dummies”, read the book – and followed the instructions. Nine months later, John banked his first profits – £13.51. John kept reading books – and kept following the instructions. 9 months after cashing the £13.51 cheque, John quit the Day Job from Hell and hasn’t looked back since.
That was more than twenty years ago. Since then, John has been involved in more than 60 small businesses, and coaches around 100 small business owners, helping them design their businesses to deliver the lifestyle they truly want.
Today, John still reads books (around 50 a year) and still follows the instructions. Only now, he writes books too…
John says: “I write business books for normal people. Taking all the vague ideas and fluffy theories that I read about in other books, and applying them on the front lines. That means that real business owners – either myself or one of my coaching clients, has tested the theory in the real world.
Once I’ve done that, I then write about it in plain English so that anyone can read it, understand it, and follow the instructions.”

Big Ideas… for Small Businesses – The first John Lamerton book.
Simple, practical tools and tactics to help your small business grow.
John says: “This is my blueprint for running a successful ambitious, lifestyle business. Everything I know from more than two decades of running more than sixty small businesses.
In it, I show you the five “magic ingredients” that guarantee you success – no matter what your business is. I demonstrate how I started my very first business with £100 of someone else’s money – and how you don’t need to be a millionaire to live like one.”
If you’d like a better work/life balance, to work less and earn more – this is the book for you.
Readers say: “John Lamerton’s books focus very much on an “ambitious lifestyle business” – creating a business that meets your needs, as well as allowing you to have a life, be a parent, be a husband, and have fun along the way.”
“I bought this book after first listening to it on Audible. It has been one of the best decisions I ever made! John had me completely hooked very early on. I felt myself getting motivated to make a change in my business. A change that is long overdue.”
“Unlike other business authors who focus on hustle, John’s style is very much about doing the 20% that gets 80% of the results, and do something revolutionary and actually SEE your wife and kids.”
“It has given me the motivation to not only get my arse in gear and take my “ambitious lifestyle business” to the next level but to put some plans in place and start taking action to leave my day job and focus on my business full time.”
“If you’re someone who struggles to read many business books, but you want to read something that inspires you and teaches you a few things, then this is your book. It’s a really easy read, packs plenty of interesting stories and value.”

Evergreen Assets – John Lamerton’s latest book
The ‘do the work once, reap the rewards again and again (and again!)’ content marketing ecosystem.
John says: “This is my most tactical book yet – and lays bare exactly how my businesses work:
In it, you’ll learn how I generate leads, nurture those leads and then convert prospects into customers. Not only that, but you’ll also read how I make sure customers have got what they want, make everything run like clockwork – and turn one customer into more than one.
Evergreen Assets is a complete “swipe and deploy” ecosystem for running almost any business. Best of all, it’s centred around permanent “evergreen” marketing assets that enable you to work less and earn more.”
If you’re fed up with the constant ‘post 5 times a day on every platform” social media hamster wheel, then this is the book for you.
Readers say: “A real book for real people. If you want some hand-holding to build a reliable system for client acquisition and retention, without needing to spend 16 hours a day for the next ten years glued to your keyboard, then the book is for you”
“Incredible book that everyone needs to read if they’re fed up of exchanging every hour of work for £££. Enjoy your future; it’s about to get a whole lot easier.”
“Content creation, visibility and credibility are what produces results when it comes to online marketing and John has a powerful system that helps create effective and successful lifestyle businesses.”
“This book is full of great tips, just like his other books, to help you develop. Even if you think that you have done all you can, John Lamerton books – somehow – place ideas in your head that will help you see ‘holes’ in your plans, suggesting new ideas you never thought of. This is one great investment.”

Routine Machine
How successful people improve their morning routine, daily habits, and guarantee themselves results.
John says: “Consistency is a superpower. What you did yesterday doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done today. What you’re going to do tomorrow? That doesn’t really matter, either. What really matters is what you do every day.
Routine Machine shows you how a ‘normal bloke from Plymouth’ achieved more success than he ever dreamed (or deserved!!). How? By following a simple, everyday plan to achieve your goals. A plan that requires neither superhuman effort nor natural-born talent. And that’s just as well, as I have neither!”
If you’re looking to become a better version of yourself and embrace the superpower of consistency, then this is the John Lamerton book for you.
Readers say: “As I worked through the book, I started making notes of all the routines that I could change. I know I won’t change all of them immediately, but I’ve started and it’s working. Routine Machine has created one of the biggest improvements in my quality of life this year.”
“I really enjoy the no-nonsense approach John takes to business and that means the ideas in this book are very easily implemented into your business/personal life without any head-scratching.”
“Routine Machine is the only book I’ve read a second time straight after the first – I am now actioning small tasks (without fail) each and every day which in turn is propelling me closer to my goals, giving me more energy and enthusiasm and freeing up time to do more of the things I love.”
“I wanted to work for myself so I could make my own rules and this book gave me the confidence I needed and put routines in place so I could get the work done routinely and have more time to spend with my family.”

My World Domination Plans
A.K.A: The really useful planner you’ll actually use.
John says: “I created this planner to scratch my own itch. You see, I’ve never been able to get on with online planners, or apps. Inevitably, I would always revert to my own, crudely-made, hand-designed planners that did what I wanted:
- Maximise my productivity on a daily basis – every day.
- Hold me accountable for the big plans that I make.
- Achieve great things over a prolonged period of time.
- To never feel overwhelmed, because I’ll always know what the most important thing is to do next.
It turns out, this planner was the ONE thing I needed to start making a difference in my business!
Readers say: “There is no fluff distracting you. It’s just your plans for your big goal. What need to get done is staring you right in your face. It’s like a low-cost mentor keeping you accountable.”
“This planner is so straightforward to follow and keeps you hyper-focused on each goal in order of priority and linked to your longer-term goals. You won’t find a better process to follow, and you won’t go wrong with this planner.”
“It’s valuable because it stops you from wasting time and helps you to actually achieve your goals. And if achieving your goals this year is valuable to you then it’s money well spent.”
“I’ve been using this John Lamerton book planner for a couple of years now, and it really does work. Blisteringly simple, easy to use, increases productivity like you wouldn’t believe.”

Constantly looking to become a better version of yourself by developing (or regaining) a love of learning is what sets many of the most successful entrepreneurs apart from their less-successful peers – it’s certainly made a HUGE difference to my life.
I would encourage everyone to develop the habit of reading at least ONE personal development book, per month – and I hope that sharing some of my favourite books with you, will help you to develop that habit.

THE ANSWER IS YES NOW WHAT IS THE QUESTION: HOW I TURNED 37P INTO 100 MILLION POUNDS
Spanning over 40 years in business this is my story, how two normal kids built the largest independent baby nursery equipment business in the UK from nothing.
My autobiography has been described as ‘a true love story’, which I suppose it is, but I didn’t write it for that reason. Some say ‘it’s a brilliant business book full of successful proven ideas’, but I didn’t write it for that reason either. Others have said ‘that my philosophy should be taught in schools and be compulsory reading in universities’.

THE ONE THING: THE SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE TRUTH BEHIND EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS BY GARY KELLER
YOU WANT LESS… You want fewer distractions and less on your plate. The simultaneous demands of work and family are taking a toll. And what’s the cost? Second-rate work, missed deadlines, smaller pay cheques, fewer promotions-and lots of stress.
AND YOU WANT MORE…You want more productivity from your work. More income for a better lifestyle. You want more satisfaction from life, and more time for yourself, your family, and your friends.

I’m John Lamerton, and this is my definitive top 100 books for business owners.
I’ve read more than 1,000 business books (and written three bestsellers myself), so I know what makes a really good business book.
I’ve also been involved in more than 60 small businesses over two decades, so I understand that the best books for business owners aren’t theoretical – they’re full of actionable takeaways and frameworks that you can deploy on the front lines of running your own small business.

DON’T YOU WISH GROWING YOUR BUSINESS COULD BE LESS STRESSFUL?
Could you improve your business by just 1% this week? Note: I said “improve”, NOT “grow” your business – growth might not be what you need.
More customers, more leads, more staff, more stress might be the last thing you need.
You might actually need more profit. more margin. more leverage.
You might need more time, less stress, and a business that relies less on you as the “font of all knowledge and the god-like genius through which everything must flow”.
You might need a smaller team, fewer customers, and less products.
The One Percent Club won’t help you grow your business. It’ll help you IMPROVE it – 1% at a time. Baby steps. Steady, predictable improvement – towards the kind of business you wanted when you first started – one that delivers a fantastic lifestyle, and serves you rather than you serving it.
