Ever feel like your thoughts are running in circles, keeping you awake at night and you can't separate good ideas from something that's DOA? Happens to me all the time, usually between the hours of 3 and 5am The thing I've found about being in my own head for too long, it’s easy to lose touch with reality. When I don’t share my thoughts, they tend to either inflate or deflate without any real-world feedback. That’s where bouncing ideas off other people comes in handy. Whether it’s work or personal, I've found getting another person’s take can be a massive help. Sometimes, a fresh perspective is all it takes to turn a half-baked idea into something brilliant (or to realise it wasn’t such a great idea in the first place) I follow a lot of comedians online and they don’t just rely on their own sense of humour... They test out their jokes by “bouncing bits” off each other. They need to see how their joke premises land because what’s funny in your head doesn’t always translate in the real world. I think it’s the same with any idea. When you share it with someone, you’re sense-checking it. You’re getting a read on whether it holds up outside of your internal chatter. So next time you need to get clear on an idea, try talking about it (even just to yourself using voice notes)

How did we end up here? Simple: the march of the mini-community, growing like a weed in the cracks of the internet pavement. I sometimes wonder if we're creating a skoolyard revolution or just have really low attention spans. Let's call it a bit of both. Blame TikTok or all the energy drinks, but small is the new big. You don’t need 10,000 chanting followers. You don’t need to invent a dance trend. Start with five folks, a half-baked idea, and a bit of cheek. Here’s what I’m noticing: people are quietly ditching the “massive launch” circus. They’re not chasing headlines. They’re skipping the fancy funnels and the £9,000 masterminds featuring word salads and spreadsheets. Instead, we’ve got humans connecting, with actual vibes, not just Wi-Fi. I started with a handful myself. Didn’t even clean my room before my first Zoom. Now, I keep bumping into people pulling four figures from micro-communities, almost by accident. No ad spend, nothing “crushing” or “scaling to the moon.” Just showing up, having a natter, sharing the wins and the cock-ups. Maybe this is the punk rock of the online world. Or maybe it’s just people sick of the same old guru tap dance. Either way, the movement’s spreading faster than my neighbour’s knotweed. Resist at your peril. If you’re sitting on a fence, careful, the grass round here grows quick. Last week, someone went from zero to “wait, people pay for this?” quicker than I could spell algorithm. Not every day is a walk in the park. But the interesting ones never are. Let’s keep poking around, see how far these weeds can grow. Excited for our future, Sam

Let’s cut to the chase. You’ve poured your heart into PDFs, programs, checklists, offers… and most of them are just gathering digital dust in some forgotten Google Drive folder. Sound familiar? That ends now. Next week my business partner and I are hosting a fast-paced, zero-fluff 45-minute live session. >>> Add it to your calendar Here’s what’s about to happen: 1. Watch Over My Shoulder: I’ll show you, live, a WhatsApp AI (yep, totally free) that matches you with ready-to-talk prospects **and** makes warm intros for you. Forget cold DMs or awkward pitches. 2. Walk Out With A Plan: I’ll hand you a clear, step-by-step roadmap to turn your “hidden” business assets into actual sales appointments. You know…the stuff you’ve already created but never fully leveraged. 3. Meet Your New 24/7 Lead Machine: See how a simple AI Assistant can work around the clock, capturing leads and booking calls, even while you catch some Z’s. We’re rolling up our sleeves with my Authority Echo Asset Amplifier Workbook. Together, we’ll pull out what you’ve *already* got, plug it into a proven system, and crank up your leads, authority, and bank balance. Bottom line: No more starting from zero. It’s time to put your assets to work, on autopilot. Ready to stop chasing and start attracting? Show up. Take notes. Plug in your assets. Watch the magic happen.

At least while I'm intermittent fasting, I won't skink to the bottom of the pool 🤙
