...You build it. Sometimes I look at my week ahead & genuinely have to pinch myself. Not because it’s perfect. Not because there’s no pressure. But because of the sheer variety, freedom, people & purpose that now fill my weeks. And because I remember the years when none of this existed: - The years of Poverty, Abuse, Bankruptcy and even homelessness - The Stress. - Working every hour - Building & losing a businesses. - Starting again. Grinding through my 20s, 30s and much of my 40s to create the life I live today. People often ask me: “What does your week look like?” The truth is, no 2 weeks are ever the same This week alone: Monday - I’ll spend the day at an exclusive Rolls-Royce event in Yorkshire. Not just around beautiful cars, but around philanthropy, networking and one of the greatest examples of British engineering, craftsmanship and quality in the world. - Then 2x 1-2-1 mentoring sessions in the evening Tuesday - starts with breakfast with the Commercial Executive at Peterborough United Football Club. Not because football is everything to me, but because POSH are the heartbeat of my home city. - Then into London for a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Wednesday - starts mentoring one of my clients in Bali, who's helping people overcome addiction & rebuild their lives through the incredible work they do there - Then a group Zoom with one of my longest-known clients, a business that has grown from a handful of pharmacies into one of the UK's Top 1% businesses. - Then onto a CPCA Business Board at AstraZeneca in Cambridge. - Then 2 more 1-2-1 mentoring sessions. - Then our Growth Syndicate group Zoom. And then Thursday through Monday in Mallorca: - Sunshine, Friends, Resetting, Re-grounding, Recharging. Every day above ground truly is a great day! But some weeks just remind you how important it is to consciously build a life, not simply drift through one. And before anyone says:

Last month I took every one-to-one mentoring session I ran - 40 sessions, real founders, real businesses, real problems - and pulled out 100 lessons. Not theory. Not textbook stuff. Summarised lessons from the actual conversations. The decisions that saved businesses and the ones that nearly broke them. The same problems that come up again and again at every stage - cash flow, people, pricing, growth, exit - and the solutions that actually work when someone finally applies them. Things like: → Why 70% of businesses fail with a full order book → The one question that tells you instantly who needs to go → Why your brand is worth more at exit than your profit ever will be → How to collect a debt from anyone — including a FTSE 100 company → The system that stops you unconsciously killing your own sales → The rule that separates businesses that grow from ones that just stay busy And 94 more lessons/principles. I've turned it into a full advisory document - beautifully laid out, protected, yours to print, adopt and keep. 100 lifechanging, business scaling lessons Its in on Skool available to every member FREE: https://www.skool.com/thegrowthsyndicate/classroom/efdda4a9?md=608ecc68108e4ed7bef73476a4e8a9d0

Had the opportunity to attend a Chamber of Commerce Expo yesterday through a last-minute invitation , for the first time and it was genuinely inspiring. What stood out most was the openness and willingness of people to connect, no judging . It was a powerful reminder that networking truly matters like what @Mike Greene always say your net worth is your network. Was a great experience 🚀🚀

FREE Webinar Turn stress into profit. ..and Pressure into Performance Pressure isn’t the problem. Most of you don’t have enough of the right pressure. You have too much of the wrong kind. The kind that: → Keeps you busy, not productive → Clouds your thinking → Slows decisions down → Drains your energy → Filters straight through your team Used properly… Pressure creates: → Focus → Clarity → Action → Results Left unmanaged… It becomes stress. And stress is where businesses start leaking money. Quietly. Not in a big dramatic collapse. But in: → Poor decisions → Missed opportunities → Slower execution → Burnt out teams → People checking out mentally The worst part? Most founders don’t even realise it’s happening. Because it feels normal. That’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this session: → How to channel pressure into performance → How to turn stress into something productive → The early warning signs most leaders miss → And how to build growth without burning yourself or your team out I’ll be delivering this alongside Katie Maycock 📅 Monday 30th March ⏰ 7pm BST If you’re serious about performance… Not just staying busy… You’ll want to be on this. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87496479424?pwd=K6JdyBrUzMRqwWGunIC1EaLdIxXTv7.1

Tomorrow night. If you’re serious about your business and getting control of your life… You need to be on this zoom. Most people don’t have a growth problem. They have a pressure problem. They’re not using pressure. They’re living in it. And that’s where things start to slip: → Poor decisions → Slower progress → Stress creeping in → Teams losing energy Pressure, used properly, drives focus and results. Left unmanaged, it quietly wrecks performance. Tomorrow we break that down. → What pressure is actually useful → What pressure is damaging → How to focus it instead of living in it → How to grow without burning out This is one hour - 7pm tomorrow (Mon 30th) But it will change how you operate. If you’re growing but feel stretched… Or stuck and can’t work out why… Be there: - It’s free. - It’s live only. - It won’t be recorded. Don’t miss it.
