Attached are the 100 biggest breakthroughs from a month of live, unscripted mentoring sessions with founders and business owners. Trades, engineering, healthcare, wholesale, property, professional services and more, from sole traders to businesses with hundreds of people. Different sectors, different sizes, different challenges. The same principles came up again and again. These aren't theories. They came from real conversations, real decisions and real numbers. Pricing, people, cash flow, marketing, systems, mindset and life. Everything is anonymised, so you can read freely what other founders are wrestling with right now. Any one of these could improve your business. Implement a handful together, and they could transform your business, your life and your legacy. One great idea or proven principle can change your business. 100 can change your life, your future and your legacy. Read them. Push back on them. Test them in your own business. Then drop a comment below: which one are you putting into action this week? ...see the classroom on this link: https://www.skool.com/theboard/classroom/bafe9059?md=aac6c541f0194aa5987bbce40a7a98e5

These are some of the pumpkins we carved last year, and I'm really looking forward to continuing our annual family tradition again this year. It's such a simple thing. A pumpkin costs a couple of quid. You sit around the table together, carve out some ridiculous faces, laugh at each other's efforts and, more importantly, talk. About your day. Your week. Your year. What's going well, what's not, and what's happening in each other's lives. It's fun, it's therapeutic, and it's a wonderful way to reconnect. There are thousands of designs on Instagram, YouTube and across the internet if you need a little inspiration. But here's my real point. Not every day needs to be about business, profit, growth or productivity. Sometimes the most valuable, powerful and productive thing you can do is switch everything else off and spend a couple of hours being together. No agenda. No targets. No deadlines. Just family, laughter, conversation and a few pumpkins. Because ultimately, it's often the simplest traditions that become the strongest cement holding families or teams together. So why not grab a few pumpkins this weekend and make some memories? You might find those couple of hours are worth more than anything else you could have achieved today. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Some amazing news, 2027 going to be a year.

1955 – 2025 Two dates. One dash. When you die, those two dates will tell the world when you arrived and when you left. But they won't tell anyone how you lived. The dash in between? That's your life. And here's what troubles me. - So many people spend their entire lives preparing to live. - Working harder today so they can enjoy tomorrow. - Sacrificing another weekend. Missing another family occasion. - Postponing another adventure. Telling themselves: - "When the business gets bigger..." - "When I've made enough money..." - "When I retire..." But what if tomorrow never comes? I've met business owners who've spent 10, 20, 30, even 40 years building businesses that have become their prisons. - Millions in turnover. - Impressive offices. - Dozens of employees. - But no freedom. Some earn barely more than they could working for somebody else, except they carry all the risk, all the stress and all the responsibility. They own a business. But the business owns them. And the saddest part? They're so busy building a better future that they're missing the life they have today. I'm not suggesting you stop working hard, building wealth or having ambition. Quite the opposite: - Build something extraordinary. - Build something that gives you a life, not something that takes it away. - Build wealth, but make sure you have the time and freedom to enjoy it. Because success isn't just measured by how much money you accumulate. It's measured by what that money, time and freedom allow you to experience. The places you go. The people you love. The memories you make. The lives you change. Nobody knows how long their dash will be. But you do get to decide what you put into it. So stop waiting for retirement to start living. Stop confusing being busy with being successful. And stop sacrificing the one thing you can never earn back. Your time. One day, someone will write two dates with a little dash between them. Make damn sure that dash tells one hell of a story.
