Today is my birthday and I found myself reflecting than celebrating. I am so grateful for you -special shout out to @Mike Greene @Scott Dwyer @Godfrey Muneri @Debbie Dorans in the last 6 months - who have shaped my world in ways big and small, who keep me grounded, laughing, and reminded of what really matters. The everyday moments, the conversations, the support we give each other… that’s the real richness of life. There’s still so much I want to build, explore, and become—but today, I’m allowing myself to pause and appreciate what already is. Just want to say - forever grateful!!!!! Happy weekend everyone!!!!

Really sorry, but I’m tied up at an event this Wednesday evening so won’t be able to run the open SKOOL mentoring session. If anyone wants to lead it, let me know and I’ll happily share the link. Equally, if a few of you want to jump on and use the time to connect and chat, just shout...and i will add a generic link to the calendar Otherwise, I won’t be there this week, but look forward to catching up with you all this coming Saturday or next Wednesday. If you’ve got anything specific in the meantime, just drop me a DM or message in the chat. Speak soon, Mike.

A few photos popped up on my timeline today From my climb of Mount Kazbek on the Georgia/Russian border at the end of 2024 And it stopped me for a moment: - Not because of the achievement - But because of the reminder Just how incredible this planet is Just how incredible life is Every moment Every day Whether it’s a great day Or a tough one where you’re being stretched and forced to grow Every day above ground REALLY is a good day Most people are obsessed with adding years to their life Very few focus on adding life to their years But here’s the truth: The only time you are guaranteed Is this moment Not tomorrow Not next week Not “when things settle down” Now I’ve always said → 10% learn from the past → 10% plan for the future → 80% live today Because today is all you actually have So live it → Smile more → Laugh properly → Tell the people you love that you love them → Tell the people who are full of shit that they’re full of shit → Do something that actually matters Stop waiting Stop postponing Stop acting like life is a rehearsal It isn’t If you live fully today And then do the same tomorrow And the next day You don’t need a long life Because every single day becomes a lifetime in itself

Easter is about renewal. About reset. About coming back stronger. Take some time this weekend. Switch off properly. Be present with your family. Recharge, not just physically, but mentally. But don’t just drift through it. Set a clear intention. How are you coming back on Tuesday? More focused? More disciplined? Clearer on what actually matters? And remember this… Until 1752 in the UK, the New Year actually started on 25th March under the old Julian calendar. Spring. Renewal. New beginnings. So if January didn’t quite land how you wanted it to… this is your second shot. A proper reset. A real opportunity to go again, but this time with clarity. And if you want help sharpening that focus… Join our open mentoring hour at 6:30pm on Bank Holiday Monday. Let’s get you clear, aligned, and ready to go again. Enjoy the break. Then come back ready. Happy Easter.

@Mike Greene brought huge energy to the room at the dinner last night with the fireside chat with Kevin Byrne, founder of Checkertrade and it was a lovely evening with Growth Syndicate members @Betsy Wong and @Kate Ashley-Norman The takeaways I gained were inspiring, snapshot were: 1. You don’t always need an investor that once scaled lose enormous equity, and can lead to “discussions’. 2. You can love your passions (oh there’s another carp!) those in the room will know. 3. You can have faith and carry it with you. 4. Helping community can affect positively and be very humbling to help others. 5. You can have the energy and passion to go again (Kevs trades) Thanks to all for a great evening, with no call this morning headed outside and in reading Mike’s book, relearnt the transition maps, it is not about the start, it is about where you end up which was really powerful 👊
