Stop fighting:
I release what I cannot control. I master what I can. Most people do the opposite. They fight the government. They fight the weather. They fight traffic. They fight the economy. They spend time. Energy. Emotional bandwidth. On battles they cannot win. And then they wonder why they feel drained, angry, stuck, or bitter. This is not strength. It is wasted force. In martial arts, you learn this early: You do not fight the river. You do not block the storm. You do not meet force with force. You flow. You redirect. You use momentum. Masters like Shi Heng Yi talk often about this principle. The problem is not the obstacle. The problem is resisting reality. When you resist what is outside your control, two things happen. 1. You lose the battle anyway. 2. You destroy your own psychology in the process. Stress increases. Clarity drops. Decision making weakens. But when you shift the question, everything changes. Instead of asking Why is this happening to me? You ask What part of this is mine to master? Your reactions. Your discipline. Your skills. Your habits. Your mindset. These are always available. Martial arts is not about dominance. It is about alignment. Not overpowering chaos. But moving through it intelligently. Business is the same. Life is the same. You do not win by fighting reality. You win by understanding it, then positioning yourself correctly. Release what you cannot control. Master what you can. That is not weakness. That is precision. And precision always beats force.

Love this. Following a recent (personal) battle with a local planning authority relating to a full planning application, this post connects intensely. Whilst our planning application was composed of multiple battles and campaigns, and we won a significant number of individual fights within the larger conflict, we still lost the war. At the age of 16 and as a young, inexperienced apprentice, I was taught that planning applications are 95% politics, and 5% design. This has never changed. Whilst planning authorities do make mistakes (procedural error, inaccurate advice, misinterpretation of policy) and as an applicant we have the right to Appeal the refusal, the last 9 months have made me feel drained and angry. Councilors are powerful people, and knowing this, I should have reduced my time (and stress) on the project by 3 months by taking the 'hit' earlier. The only positive I can take from the experience is that we now have a clear route to a future planning approval, and we can proceed through the resubmission with greater clarity as a result. Great post.

Your 5 year plan is worthless
If you cannot execute this week. I see it constantly. - Vision boards - 5 year strategies - Beautiful plans - Decks that look impressive Then I ask one question. - What are you doing THIS WEEK To move the needle? Silence. Here is the truth: Your big vision means nothing If you cannot prioritise the next 5 days. Strategy without execution Is just daydreaming. I have mentored 1,000 plus businesses. The ones that actually scaled Did not have the fanciest plans. They did 3 simple things Relentlessly. 3 steps to achieving real goals: 1. Lock in SMART goals - Not vague wishes. - Clear outcomes written down in a plan. 2. Take action DAILY: - No zero days. - No waiting for motivation. 3. Build real accountability: - Not a cheerleader. - A mirror. Stop hiding in long term planning Because today feels uncomfortable. Big visions are built On small, boring Consistent actions. So ask yourself: What is on your calendar THIS WEEK That actually matters and will definitely deliver against your goals? If you cannot answer that You do not have a plan. - You have a fantasy. Drop your top 1 priority for this week below And who is holding you to account. ...and join the group call in the Skool calendar at 6.30pm tonight
