I went from feeling trapped in my business to:-
- Finding balance
- Finding my purpose
- Overcoming burnout
- Freeing up 12+ hours a week
- Increasing my productivity x 5
Here's How
🎬 Denzel Washington has not only captivated us on screen but also through his powerful speeches off it.

Remove the word defeat from your self talk.
Instead use:-
- Development
- Feedback
- Lesson
- Growth
Why?
You will never be defeated, the sooner you understand that the easier everything becomes.

Live by Moore's Law: Double your personal growth every two years to match our rapidly advancing tech.
Why? To stay relevant and competitive.
You can do this through continuous learning, rapid adaptation, and resource optimisation.
Play from victory, not to victory.
Approach each challenge with the mindset that success is already yours, shaping your actions with confidence and purpose.
The shift in perspective can transform not just the outcome, but your journey.
If you have lost your self-belief, start to do hard things.
If you won't do hard things, start with small changes.
If you don't know how to make small changes, look for inspiration around you.
If you can't find inspiration, seek silence.
In quiet, ideas emerge.
If the hardest thing you did today was get up at 7am after snoozing your alarm twice.
I have bad news.
You have a problem.
Incorporating challenges into your daily routine can significantly enhance your resilience, personal growth, and overall well-being.
Here's how. 🧵

So what does in take to become incomparable?
How do you stand out in a world that's constantly comparing?
7 strategies that elevate you beyond comparison 🧵
Progressive overload
Where you threaten yourself with obscene things to get one more rep done week after week.
Why it works?
You are constantly proving to yourself you are capable of more.
Don't underestimate how long something will take you to complete.
Deep focus work blocks and limiting your working day will create the life you want.
However underestimating a task length will cause burnout, fatigue and frustration.
You need realism, balance and execution.
When you're at the gym, workout
When you're eating, eat
When you're working, work
When you're listening, listen
The true cost of multitasking Isn't productivity.
It's your mental health.
The Romans…
Woke up early,
Finished work by noon,
Spent the afternoons pursuing leisurely activities
Become a fucking Roman!
Unlearn what you have been taught.
You were never meant to work all day.
An untrained mind cannot self-regulate.
Not knowing why you think or do things against your wishes isn't an excuse.
Learn how to self-regulate and gain control.
This year i've realised were all in a race to win.
But the only thing that matters is to start running, never stoppinng and not worrying where you will finish.
Polarizing Normalization
A phenomenon where unhealthy habits become so widespread that those practising healthy behaviours are viewed as abnormal by the majority.
Hard truths
You don't have the physique you want? You don't work hard enough.
You haven't lost weight? You lack willpower.
You're not where you want to be? You're not good enough to be there.
Good news
Once you accept where you are you can do something about it.
How often do you get stuck in consuming thoughts of where you want to be?
You deserve to be where you are now one way or another.
Concentrate on what you can do right now.
Do that daily.
Celebrate how quickly you moved forward.
All we are ever doing is trying to shut our conscious mind down to create space to breathe.
It doesn't matter what you call it:
- Inner voice
- The monkey mind
- Mental chatter
- Ego
What matters is finding stillness and clarity.
If you are struggling and counting down to your next 'holiday' or 'break'
Look inwards
You are stuck in a cycle and will never truly feel recovered until you learn to turn off the thoughts in your head.
The chances are you're drowning right now and you don't even know it.
Every notification, like, and swipe is designed to hook us deeper, our brains are flooded with dopamine.
Here are 5 ways to stop drowning in dopamine
🧵
The best idea is always the first idea.
This is the starting point.
All of your other ideas are the accumulation of your experiences and views on the world.
So stop overthinking and start doing.
What's your April focus?
Mine are....
Focus Forward only.
1) Launch my new coaching programme.
2) Find a X accountability partner.
3) Finish this 16 week cut I'm on.
I'm coming back to check in on anyone that comments on this post on 5th May!
You didn't wake up wanting difficulty in life.
Difficulties will happen.
The mistake you are making is not preparing to face them and pretending they won't happen.
Mentally and physically prepare daily for what lies ahead.
It's better to have expected the unexpected.
Running a business is like cooking a roast dinner
Peel & prep = the hard work no one sees
Cooking = Let the systems you have installed do most of the work whilst you oversee and adjust
Eating = Watching nervously as you are critiqued, hoping for feedback so you can improve.
The opposite is true.
Consider exploring the opposite of what you believe to be true.
This perspective can illuminate hidden biases and unlock new possibilities.
Multitasking feels overwhelming?
Our nervous system can process only about 110 bits of information per second!
Juggling multiple tasks means not everything gets the attention it deserves.
Focus on one thing at a time for peak performance.
How do you make changes?
The starting point is to want to change.
Don't change because you think you should.
Don't change because something seems easier.
Don't allow your current position to get so bad you have no choice but to change.
What motivates me when I'm lacking focus and concentration?
I ask myself how much of tomorrow do I want to borrow today?
How can I execute on long term goals if I'm always borrowing from days that don't exist?
As a 36 year old Entrepreneur my hardest lesson to learn?
The degree on my wall is no more use than the globe on my desk.
It looks nice and provides occasional inspiration but provides no navigation or guidance.
Magic is a way of navigating the unknown, offering us a bridge between the seen and the unseen.
It invites curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to explore beyond the confines of conventional.
It provides paths for development, challenging us to redefine what's possible.
When will you feel like you have enough boxes ticked to support your ideas and communication with the world?
The reality for most is never.
The answer?
Take action now and learn what you are missing later.
Why Addressing the Subconscious Mind Is Crucial?
Ignoring the role of the subconscious is like trying to drive with the handbrake on.
No matter how much effort you put into conscious strategies, unaddressed subconscious barriers can keep you from reaching your full potential.
If you struggle with productivity
Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery.
Novelty (experiencing something new) stimulates your brain, helping you enter a state of heightened awareness and peak performance.
Working from a coffee shop for me, helps with a flow state.
If you seek the approval of others you are not being authentic.
If you are not being authentic you're disconnecting from your true self.
Disconnection causes burnout, anxiety and depression.
BE YOURSELF
Many entrepreneurs study in areas such as:-
- Market trends
- Financial strategies
- Team dynamics
- Sales
- Business development
- Productivity
Yet they often overlook one critical factor that could be hindering their business's potential.......
The subconscious mind.
Value ≠ Greed
Switch the emphasis from what you can get to what you can give.
True value enriches and adds meaning, focusing on contribution, not accumulation.
Detach value from greed.
F*ck Talent.
Talent without effort is just potential.
Real success? It's built on dedication, not just what you're born with.
Here's 5 ways to beat talent when talent doesn't work hard.
The real magic happens at the intersection of knowledge and execution.
Stop accumulating information and start taking action.
Start your day by executing your highest leverage tasks.
Finish your day with education.
Freedom without structure is not freedom, it's an excuse.
An excuse to not start.
An excuse to not find purpose.
An excuse to complain.
Build your structure and operate from a place of freedom within it.
If you feel lost, find a purpose.
If you don't have a purpose, start with a passion.
If you don't have a passion, begin with curiosity.
If you don't have curiosity, cultivate openness.
Embrace the unknown, and welcome new experiences.
A bad business partner is like having a leaking boat in the middle of the ocean.
No matter how hard you row towards success, you are still concentrating on stopping yourself sink.
Get out of the boat before it’s too late!
