Betrayed, Burnt, & Bitten
So… what started as a simple trip turned into a full-blown 7,000-mile odyssey of chaos, corporate betrayal, laughter, concrete floors, dodgy food, burnt skin, and mosquito bites the size of grapes. Went to see my YouTube coach in Austin Texas, and all seemed good in the world, a new city for me and warm sunshine in the last weeks of October, unheard of in England. ✈️ Austin, Texas — The Warm-Up When I finally landed in Austin, I was excited, tired and awake when the whole city slept, half-zombie. But boy what a city! Austin’s got this brilliant energy, live music on every corner, barbecue that smells like heaven, and people who actually smile at you (madness, I know). It’s not at all like the UK, it's louder, it's hotter, it's beautifully strange, even the homeless group I found under a bridge loved to listen to me and offered me some kind of broth, all that and with better brisket what was not to love. My 1-2-1 coaching with Vendy went so much better than expected too. It was the perfect warm-up for what was to come: Cancun. And that’s where everything changed. ✈️ Dallas, Texas — The Betrayal I left the calm, picture-perfect hills of the Cotswolds, where even the sheep look relaxed, to head off on what I thought would be a smooth little getaway. How naïve of me. Somewhere between Austin and Cancun, the travel gods decided to have a laugh and made Dallas happen. My “short” transfer flight via Dallas turned into a 24-hour survival challenge on the hard concrete floor of the airport, rude, and noisy municipal workers, a pick pocket who thought I was asleep, ejected from the airport with no boarding pass or signal by a dickhead security guard, and with limited fucks given by American Airlines (now forever known as Wankers). No bed. No blanket. No dignity. No food. No luggage. Closed Bathrooms. 3 hour long queues, and the last stale cheese sandwich that tasted like regret. The food? Awful. The airline? American Airlines — Awful never again! The experience? Character-building… apparently.

Day 17 and it has been a blessing.
First post here. It's going to be a long post. Right now on Day 17 and I would have never guessed how much better I could feel after the event that made me want to change my life forever. I used to be addicted to sugar, sodas and junk food, Coca Cola the most of all; sometimes I would drink 2.5 L a day. No Joke. I lived with a constant 300 glucose levels without even knowing or caring at all. My life had a turn when I changed my job and 3 months ago I had to quit the little exercise time playing Volleyball that was standing between my horrible habits/lifestyle and what happened afterwards. I was coming back from work at around 8 PM, very hungry. That day I had decided to actually change my diet and quit sugar, all at the same time. It proved to be a bad choice because, on my way home riding the motorcycle I fainted. Thankfully I got to stop in the red light before I passed out and reappeared on the ground. Not a single scratch; the bike absorbed most of the damage of the fall, I fell the right way if there is any, leaving me only with a small bruise in the hand. It could have been A LOT WORSE: I could have fainted while on movement, burned by the bike, hit by a car... NOTHING. Only that all of the following diseases were evidenced at that moment: diabetes type 2, hypertension, high triglycerides, anemia, dehydration. The following days was a nightmarish mixture of symptoms including dizziness 24/7, sometimes having to stop and sit because I felt like passing out again and again. Hungry all the time, but feeling sick if I ate whatever. When hunger hit, it was like a stab in my stomach that ended up building into heart pounding like crazy and vertigo. Only two days I could rest at home with an excuse from the doctors. Doctors would only get wrong about my diagnosis until I had my labs done. Then guess what, I was told I would be on meds all my life from now on. I was even scolded asking if I could get off meds if I could control my levels under medical supervision. I get tons of meds which I started taking them and stopped after a week.

My Little Update
Hi Guys and Gals, Just a little update from me; I'm still alive; I'm still working way too hard; I'm still failing at life; I'm struggling mentally; I'm struggling financially; and I'm still on the protocol. I am still alive: Really loving periods of my life, my girls, this community, and generally feeling a whole lot healthier and better all round. I am looking forward to living better and more. I'm still working too hard: I'm struggling to grow my business through a transition from one source of income to another, one big client every 3 to 12 months to lots of smaller local independent smaller clients with smaller payments, etc, feel so thinly spread it hurts sometimes. 105 hour working week last week including travelling across the country, it is just not sustainable so I hope the cycle breaks soon. It is not for the lack of trying, effort, or commitment. I'm failing at life: Despite being generally a good person there are times of extreme fatigue, spiteful people trying to hurt me or mine and I have struggled to hold my tongue and not get aggressive. I have let myself down in a few ways, by letting others provoke me into actions that are not me, but I fell into that trap. I have not dealt with dickheads well and upset some of my grandchildren. I totally lost my shit with one of my daughters husband for belittling, humiliating, and disrespecting her in front of my grandchildren and his mates. If they were not there he would have been in hospital now. My control over that kind of rage has become harder the healthier and older I get, which to me is odd. I will not apologise to an abusive dickhead so everyone hates me and believes I am the villain, this narcissists plays the victim well. Lois understands me and is still talking to me, she said, "I know Jason was a dickhead and I know you love me more than your own life, but I will deal with him as I don't want to lose you by going to jail, not for him, he is not worth it." Between you and this group she is divorcing him for physical and meatal abuse, I was so proud of her in that moment, she said "all I wont is to be like you and mum were back in the day, nothing more, nothing less". She broke my heart right there and then, but I felt so happy and proud she was strong enough to see through all her husbands bullshit and lies.

Mark firstly congrats on the weight loss bud! Secondly, the reason you feel like you are failing is because, well… you are. We are all failing in something to some degree. You have excelled in the protocol (which I still fail at) but that doesn’t mean your business will turn around. You have fixed your health and relationship with food but not your relationship with your business. I just got back from a very exclusive business conference where everyone around me was doing £50k, £100k, £500k, £1mil A MONTH and do you know what one of the biggest takeaways I got was? I had loads of takeaways about my business itself, but one of the absolute biggest ones is - “You never have business problems, you simply have personal problems that manifest in your business”. To me, it’s clear as day what your current bottleneck is and it’s your ability to manage your energy. As entrepreneurs we’ve believed in the bullshit of “grind, hustle, sacrific sleep - do whatever it takes” when that is airy fairy bollocks. You must realise grinding away like how you do and then seeing a lack of results is only ever going to make yourself lose motivation and begin forming an anger cycle of “why cant I do this but everyone else can”. Mate, I wish I could fully lay it out how it was just recently taught to me, but imagine it like this: - you can’t outrun your body - Your body is an energy debt collector, so if you do something very strenuous today - I mean really taxing then effectively what you are doing is borrowing energy units from tomorrow. - If you do this for long enough and you’re in let’s say a zone 6 exertion, then you will burn out and your emotions will be screwed. - This is why you must match zone 6 exertion with zone 6 rest in order to pay off your previous debts to your body. We think we’re all smart and cool by working insane hours, I usually work from 7.30am and clock out before i sleep at 11pm - which is dumb. If money is tight for you (i’m with you as of now) then this is the time to manage your energy even better, now is not the time to chase everything, it’s time to find the asymmetric activity in your business, the tasks that take 20% of your energy but give you 80% of the reward. Bottom line is, you have or if you haven’t already will burn out and when you truly burn out it’s horrible. I was in some weird psychosis for a few days when I burned out before, I barely knew who I was, I barely knew where I was, I couldn’t speak to anyone, I couldn’t eat. My body forced me to power off, as if I was in a 2 day coma… which is not an exaggeration.

I Want to Start Doing Weekly Calls 😍
But would Any of you actually attend? The biggest reason I haven't is, I have no idea what you guys want to know. Would you just want me to schedule a call once or twice a week, and anyone who can get on joins the call, and we can just chat about whatever we want? And also, what time? We're pretty much spread allover the world. I'm on Central US time right now here in Cancun. I could do 2 calls a day or two per week at different times, some more geared toward the Europe side of the world, and an evening call my time for anyone over here in the US. I'd gladly record them for anyone who misses them and post them in the classroom for watching later.
