Money Stops Being Elusive When It Stops Being Special

Money Stops Being Elusive When It Stops Being Special Read time: 6 minutes Hey, welcome back. Last week, I wrote about why you should call your parents, hang out with friends, and spend an awful amount of money on trips you've promised yourself. Because the now is all we have. You can read that (and all past issues, here). Today, I want to talk about money. I've been thinking a lot about how to teach my kids financial literacy - but I'm learning it for the first time (as someone who grew up...

You Don’t Have Forever Read time: 6 minutes Hey, welcome back. Last week, I wrote about why you shouldn't be afraid of effort and why you should embrace it in everything you do. But today, I want to zoom out completely. Because none of it matters if you forget to live. You can read that (and all past issues, here). We Act Like Time Is Renewable You and I both know how this story goes. You start your business, your career, your “thing,” full of energy and optimism.You tell yourself that the...

Don't Be Afraid of Effort Read time: 6 minutes Hey, welcome back. Last week, I wrote about why success moves in cycles, not straight lines - and why the dips often hold the best lessons. You can read that (and all past issues, here). I've just returned from a lovely weekend away with 22 founders in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco - doing some great soul searching, and thought provoking conversations and ideas I'll be sharing here over the next few weeks to challenge you with some thoughts...

Your Brain Wasn’t Built for the Internet - And It’s Costing You Read time: 6 minutes Hey, welcome back. Last week, I wrote about why success is mostly boring - and why the ability to stick with dull habits is the real competitive edge. You can read that (and all past issues, here). Today, I want to get personal about something I’ve wrestled with for years. Distraction. BUT FIRST (cos, distraction, obvs) - I'm starting to tidy up the personal brand with a bit more design intention and energy....

Success is Mostly Boring - and That’s Why You’re Failing Read time: 6minutes Hey, welcome back. Last week, I wrote about the addiction to struggle — how too many of us glorify chaos instead of building from abundance. You can read that (and all past issues, here). Before I start - I promised this newsletter is where I'll provide all exclusive access to things I'm doing that you might like so - on a first come first served basis - I have some spots available for my talk on 6th October at The...

You're Addicted to Struggling Read time: 6minutes Hey, welcome back. Last week, I shared moving the identity shift moving from 'consumer' to 'creator'. You can read that (and all past issues, here). To hammer this point home, I was on the main stage of Ideas Fest, interviewed by Daniel Priestley on growing Heights and we went on right after marketing genius Rory Sutherland so I asked him to critique Heights (Rory, is it a painkiller, vitamin or placebo?). Quintessentially British waffling...

You can read that (and all past issues, here). By the way, if you're finding these insights helpful, I've started collecting all these tools, resources, and one-sheets in the ever-growing 'Science of Success' vault. Check it out here. This week, I want to share some thoughts with you whilst they're in my head - they may...
