Welcome to the #ADDAZERO Community
If you're reading this, you've just joined the #ADDAZERO Community. Good decision. Watch the video above first. It's two minutes. It'll tell you exactly who this community is for, what I want it to do for you, and what to do next. Then come back here. A bit about why this community exists. I've spent over two decades working with business owners who built something real — and then found themselves trapped inside it. Successful by every external measure. Busy, growing, hiring. And completely unable to step back from the centre of it without everything wobbling. I call them accidentally successful business owners. They didn't plan to build a business this big. They were just good at what they did, got busy, and kept going. And one day they looked up and realised the business they built for freedom had become the thing stopping them from living it. That's not failure. That's the most common story I hear from the 500+ business owners I've worked with across 34 countries. The #ADDAZERO Community exists to change that story. Through honest conversation, proven methodology, and a peer group of people who understand exactly where you are — because they're standing in the same place. Your next three steps — right now, while you're here: 1. Introduce yourself. There's a pinned introduction post in the community feed. Three questions, two minutes. Tell us what you've built, where you're stuck, and what needs to change. I reply personally to every single one. 2. Take the Business Freedom Assessment. This is your starting point. It's free, it takes about ten minutes, and it gives you a clear picture of exactly where your business is right now, what's working, what's holding you back, and where to focus first. 👉 mytruenorth.club/bfa Don't skip this. Everything else inside this community makes more sense once you've got your score. 3. Get involved. Ask a question. Respond to someone. Share something you're working through. The value of this community scales with what you put in — and the people in here are worth talking to.

Wolf in sheep's clothing
Tough day on Tuesday, when a new client revealed their true colours. It really concerns me, that some many owners make such an effort to say and portray all the right buzzwords to be liked and seen as "the best thing since sliced bread" only to so quickly reveal something quite different. Our "the Ethical Coaching Company" isnt just a strap line we came up with to be popular. Its a title bestowed upon us in 2017 by Smith and Williamson when we were added to the "Clear Business Thinking Power 100" in recognition of both the level of ethics we uphold within our business, and that which we teach to others. Furthermore, my MSc in International Business Ethics wasn't delivered for free in a cornflake packet. I worked damn hard to attain that, something Im both proud of, and maintain as a living standard not just a certificate on the wall. The conversation on Tuesday, was uncomfortable but necessary. We could all 'turn the other cheek' but as I often say to clients "How you do anything, is how you do everything" What's been your biggest challenge this week?

What you reap you sow
This week, ive been reminded of the value of reciprocation. And that if we give freely, and remain open to receiving (rather than expecting to receipt) Karma will always see you right. Im forever making introductions, and suggesting why they should speak. Its mostly about work, or shared opportunities or where I see value in others knowing of each other. Very few times, do I ever receive referrals, but I never let it stop me. This week, I took a call from a celebrity i once referred for a weeks work (flown business class) in Dubai!, to ask if we could host a retreat together in the autumn. Im thrilled to share www.mytruenorth.club/unbreakable has just been released, and will be an amazing opportunity for up to 28 business owners to become unstoppable 😀

Is it just me?
Is it just me, or do more and more people simply not know how to network? I admit, many years ago when I first left my corporate job and became an Entrepreneur - I DID NOT KNOW how to network. I'd show up with a hand full of business cards, and be really proud if EVERYONE left with one in their hand! Thankfully, I was quickly taken to one side and 'educated' on what networking actually is, and since then I've got alot better on showing up consistently and both giving value and building relationships than I did in those first few weeks. But, what I've witnessed recently has almost been a flashback to those early days I mentioned. Recently I've been networking, and for every person who I meet, I listen intently as they "show up and throw up" all about them, and what they can do, through the lens of "Who can I introduce you to?" If it's unclear, I now ask "If the PERFECT client walked into my office, what might they do or say that makes me think - I must introduce you to X?" Interestingly a growing number of them can't answer that. However in the past 2 weeks somebody did. And the moment they did, I immediately thought "Mmmmm thats interesting, as I was only speaking to X last week who mentioned exactly that" So, I made an introduction. Not a X meet Y, Y meet X A full detailed introduction highlighting how I know each, the conversation we have both had, WHY I think they are a good fit, and what I think would be the next step for them. 2 weeks later, and one has made contact, with a full sales pitch in the initial communication and now come back to me wondering why the other side is "Ghosting them" Whats your experience of the networking scene right now?
