Think about the times when you’re angry. Think about what happens in the moments before anger takes over. Think about what that triggers for you. When someone cuts you up on the motorway, and you call them an asshole, you’re not angry because they cut you up. You’re angry because they are driving dangerously and …

Not “new” exactly, I’m not creating anything from nothing here, more that I should unleash more of the other side of me, but the truth is it’s exhausting. It’s exhausting for those around me, and it’s exhausting for me too… Not because I find myself draining… far from it.It’s exhausting having to defend myself and …

I know a lot of things, I can speak of them with confidence and conviction. How to live your best life.How to stand up for yourself.How to get what you want.Not standing for shit. HIGH STANDARDS, LOW TOLERANCE. I talk a good game, I help people get what they want, how to take steps forward …

I feel like we live in a society where “independence” is looked at in one way, and if we don’t fit that description then we’re just liars and not really independent… we just wish we were. To be an independent person is often portrayed as someone who can do everything for himself, and needs no …

I have this image set as the lock screen on my phone… It’s an Aristotle quote (or so the internet tells me) It’s been there since 2019, and it serves as a reminder that if I want to do the things I want, and achieve the things I dream of, which all ultimately equal freedom …

I’ve been talking with a friend… I should have a Facebook group. Firstly… “should” … I don’t like “should” … “should” makes me shudder. “Should” makes me cringe.“Should” makes me wanna poke my eyes out with a spoon. So I instantly go into bullshit excuses mode. I can’t think of a name.I have a short …

In my first three years in business, I made a loss.Each of my tax returns took me further and further into the red, and I felt it. I was stressed, weighed down, wondering how I make it work, why it’s so effortless for others.Why it was so hard for me?What was I missing?What was I …

There’s a thing that’s been holding me back… I wrote about it in this post last year: How to be more successful than most people will ever be The thing is, people expect you to only be successful when they see proof.In the case of the last post, it was because I had nothing to …
