NEW BLUEPRINT UPLOADED: Sometimes the truth is the push we need. I believe tough love can be the best love. Someone telling you what you want to hear might make you feel better. Someone caring enough to tell you what you need to hear can help you change your life. Honest, constructive criticism can give you the drive to tackle something you’ve been avoiding. The difficult conversation. The limiting belief. The decision you keep putting off. It can be uncomfortable. But if you’re willing to listen, reflect and act, that discomfort can become the starting point for real change. This new blueprint draws on my conversation with Russ and Mark on Walk the Talk. We explored my journey from childhood poverty to building businesses, the lessons failure taught me, and why success means health, wealth and happiness in the proportions that matter to you. It’s about questioning the stories you tell yourself, understanding what motivates you and deciding what difference you want to make. As you work through it, ask yourself: What do I already know needs to change, and what am I going to do about it? The blueprint is uploaded and ready. Take one lesson, choose one action and put it into practice. https://www.skool.com/theboard/classroom/e8a00b2c?md=a8d8a3ee05de4ce5a606fcb5fabe879e

Evening everyone! We are four days away from the Half Marathon for those registered and updates would have been sent to your emails as I have received along with your badge number. Please 🙏 for those who have booked in - please spend a short time familiarising the email along with the race guide. It shows all the details over parking, as some roads close early and the details over the event village, of which I aim to be at the Little Miracles tent ⛺️ early possibly from around 7am. You will need to register, bag as part of your number placed in the area, and in your designated pen ready for the start…. There is a warm up as well. So my advice is to get there early, so you can all meet up if you want to! My number is 07561 623563 but please 🙏 bare in mind I go off early than the masses in the wheelchair ♿️ and then we are to as Mike says run 🏃‍♀️/ walk your own race, but I do hope to meet at the end, and from 10 miles if you guys have not seen me, I will be looking out for you, but trust me, I will no doubt be at the rear and will find it challenging! Hope this helps and please 🙏 if anyone still wants to donate we are almost at £1,500 on the £2,000 target 🎯 and the link is in the previous post!

When you visit a doctor, they don’t simply glance at you and make everything better. ...audio on - listen for the cure First, they ask questions and examine the problem. Then they diagnose what’s wrong and prescribe a course of action. But the prescription itself doesn’t cure you. You still have to: - Accept the diagnosis. - Pay the price of the prescription. - Take the medicine. - Follow the advice. - Change the behaviours that contributed to the problem. - Continue the treatment long enough for it to work. .....Only then do you begin to get better. Business and life work in exactly the same way. A mentor, coach or adviser cannot magically fix your problems. They can examine the symptoms, identify the underlying cause and give you a prescription for progress. But you must still pay the price... and I don’t simply mean money. The real price might be: - discomfort, - discipline, - difficult conversations, - changed habits, - longer hours, - greater focus or finally doing the things you’ve been avoiding. The bridge between your Problem and your Potential is the Prescription... ...but progress only happens when you follow it. Advice is not the cure. Implementation is the medicine. And nobody else can take it for you.

What an amazing week, possibly one of my best for a long time…. https://lnkd.in/p/eJUFeEBf I explain it best in this Linkedin post, as to round off this week, after meeting HRH Princess Royal and now nominated and being recognised as Founders Choice for overcoming resilience and adversity. I post this to share, that life (and business) can be a rollercoaster and to have the highs and lows is all part of this rich tapestry called life 👊 Thank you @Dr Mike Greene DL and the community for all their support through what has been one of my toughest periods.
