So maybe I'm not thinking it thru all the way? 👉But would you want to be someone's SECRET SANTA? 👇

Agreed a new partner today, test with an auction. 10 mins into the coffee date she says what else can you do I don’t want to do just the auction with you. I’ll break down how I found her as well and everything in this post. A couple of weeks ago I went to a coffee shop with a pad of paper and a pen headphones and wrote down a list of everything I’ve bought course wise, all the niches I like, all the niches I know. Then all the people I have spoken to in those niches. I went and got a list of all these people by searching on google, Facebook, x the lot. Got their details and started messaging them. This lady has 175k socials, 70k email list. Highly engaged audience. I sent her…. Name, I think I can get you at least 50 leads for your painkiller course, all before noon. Reckon you could listen to an excited brit share a 3 min loom on how? She replied: sure I’ll bite, tell me how? Sent her a loom video explaining an auction, she replied it’s genius. She kept messaging me telling me how excited she was to actually speak with me. Had the call today, after ten mins she says what else can you do I want you doing everything you can for me - you are somebody who knows their shit. Wahhhhh hold on lady, you don’t get to marry me today…. You gotta wait. Let’s start with the auction. She’s got a big sale planned for next month which she’s scrapping and wants to do the auction instead all agreed and good to go. Now I just gotta get the ore auction posts and emails out and then see what we auctioning off. Here’s to a cracking end to 2025 and hopefully a good start to the new year.

For years I thought I had a sales problem. My boss diagnosed me with “call reluctance” and told me to pretend I was someone else. It worked for a bit… but it never stuck. Turned out I had a “Christopher” problem. When I started a job cold calling, I treated the phone like it was a judge from Britain’s Got Talent. I was convinced one wrong word and I’d bring generational shame upon the whole Dyson family tree. So I’d sit there with my call list. And I’d do everything except call. Let me just check their website. And Google their number. And clean my desk. And reorganise my desk. And sharpen a pencil I wasn’t planning to use. And obviously put the kettle on… kettles fix procrastination right? Once I spent ten minutes staring at a pen to see if it “felt trustworthy.” It didn’t. It was a pen. Here’s the thing… I wasn’t scared of people. I wasn’t scared of rejection. I wasn’t scared of selling. I was following the childhood rulebook I grew up with. “Christopher don’t interrupt.” “Christopher don’t bother people.” “Christopher stop being cheeky.” “Christopher stop annoying that man.” “Christopher for the love of God stop sticking that fork in the toaster.” Great rules for keeping a child alive. Terrible rules for hitting my targets. One day it clicked. I wasn’t avoiding the phone because the phone was scary. I was avoiding the phone because Mum’s voice was still narrating my day… even though she wasn’t there. I had brought her to the office with me. Not literally. Imagine explaining that to Barbara in HR. But mentally she was right there. Running the show. Calling the shots. Keeping me in line like it was still 1989. Once I saw it, things got better. Not because I got braver. But because I realised the voice I was trying not to disappoint wasn’t even real anymore. Now every day it’s “Don’t Bring Mum To Work Day”. I think less. I play more. I make a mess and I’ll clean it up later. And my life works a whole lot better when I’m not being micromanaged by ghosts from the eighties.
