Become a one person business
Yo Reader If I read this headline 2 years a go, I would have hit the unsubscribe button. Ehh… business… Men wearing suits, trying to take money from you. No soul or creativity, it's a machine designed to turn employees into zombies while profiting the higher ups. A stereotype I did not want anything to do with. But that's exactly what it is, a stereotype, and it's the unfortunate truth of some businesses. Thankfully not all are like that and the good news is you can rebel against it. Business...
Monetise your ideas
Getting paid to think is the future of work. Creators like Naval or Dan Koe are impacting millions of lives online and profiting just by thinking and sharing their ideas. Ideas are the new oil. DAN KOE @thedankoe All new wealth is being generated in the digital space. Digital real estate is accessible and (vastly) more affordable than physical. Teenagers are going viral making absurd amounts of cash that older generations can't fathom. Ideas are the new oil:...
How to beat procrastination
I feel like I've drifted through life. I've trusted my intuition letting fate dictate where I end up. I've jumped between friend groups, jobs, creative projects and relationships and I've never really had any major worries in life. I've also only ever made a few serious decisions that have lead to defined outcomes I wanted. The most important? Marrying Saskia. While this sounds like a dream way to live, it has long term side effects. Like: Terrible organisation skills Procrastinating on...
Do you wake up excited every day?
Let's face it, getting out of bed sucks. Especially when it's dark outside, your bed is warm and the feeling of being wrapped in a cocoon blanket is bliss. But Reader once you've emerged from your blissful comfort, are you excited? I recently read an awesome tweet by one of my favourite creators Dan Koe DAN KOE @thedankoe If you aren't tired when you go to bed and excited when you wake up, you need a meaningful project that demands you at your best. 3:10 PM • Oct 20, 2024 612 Retweets 5343...
Who are you?
A deep question I know... I often believe I have the answer. I think, compared to many others, I can answer it confidently. But I recently realised I haven't been my authentic self. A lot of successful personal brands often say, if you want to grow a community and help other like minded people, you need to show up authentically, talk about what you're truly passionate about, share your wins and failures. Not only does this create relatability to your audience, it makes you grow abudantly in...
A Personal Brand is THE BEST self improvement tool
Hey Reader As you know I've been building a personal brand on 𝕏 for 10 months. It's greatest thing I've ever done in my life (apart from getting married of course 😉) This journey has taught me more about myself than any other: Therapy session Personality assessment Argument with trolls online Not only is it a tool for self discovery, it's a machine that will make you money, here's why: Build in Public To be a successful personal brand you need to document your journey.

Today is my wedding anniversary
Hey Legend! Today is a special day for me, because as the title suggests I’m celebrating 1 year of marriage. Saskia and I are current nestled in a cute little manor in south west UK, amazing county side, nature and food. (For real, pub food here hits different) Anyway I wanted to share some relationship advice that’s helped us over the years.Firstly we met on 𝕏 in 2015 We did long distance for the first 3 years and moved together in 2018. Did I mentioned we’re from opposite sides of the...
The greatest skill on earth
Hey Reader I know you might disagree at first, but let me show you why writing is the greatest skill on Earth - and why it’s essential for human kind. We are terrible at communication: Body language gets misinterpreted. Language barriers confuse meaning. Swearing puts people off. Most of us struggle to truly convey our thoughts. And that's why writing is so powerful. Here’s why: Writing is Programming for the Mind When you write, you’re forced to take the jumble of thoughts in your head and...
