(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) I was talking to one of my clients the other day on a coaching call… Not saying her name for her privacy, anyway, she was talking about how she relapsed on alcohol, weed and smoking. And she was beating herself up over it. But I reframed it, and in my opinion for everyone who is reading this RN, of you are self aware of your failures and mistakes, you have already won. Your a winner who has just failed this once. For example, relapsing into bad habits is not the problem; it is your mindset towards it! IMO, of when ever you fail at something whether that be a business venture, relapsing, whatever of you are able to admit to yourself you failed, and call yourself a failure and be accountable, that is amazing, and you will of course feel a little bit dissatisfied still, yes, but that will then strive for you to not make the same failure again! Something I also always say to myself in my mind when I fail, cause I fail all the time lol, I say “No failures, no lessons, no light without dark.” And it is true, imagine you succeeded at everything all the time, what would be the value in success? There is always something positive to every bad thing; you just need to look hard enough. I am a failure myself, but I am grateful for them cause I know there cannot be light without dark… I failed so many different businesses. I tried copywriting, video editing, faceless automation channels, multiple YT channels, affiliate marketing, dropshipping, flipping, and so much more. I fail every day, I make mistakes daily, I go over my calorie limit, I skip a meditation here and there, and I am grateful I do. If you are not actively calling yourself a failure… You actually are a failure. Don’t forget this lesson, failure’s are something to smile at and be grateful for. I hope this teaches you a valuable lesson, failures are not something to be afraid of, they are not

(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) his was one of the very first books I ever read. Back in like March - April of 2024, I remember reading it on my iPhone, good times… And man did it give me some life changing insights, some people said the book just explained common sense, not for me at least… It changed my perspective of the world, it give me a new lens to view the world! 👓 And no, it is not about not caring about anything, and all that you may think… It is about choosing what to care about, and I am just going to share here just 5 of my favourite / the insights I think will help you the most, so let us get in. Insight #1: Solve the problems you care about and deal with the bad problems you don’t really mind, this is super relevant to the people who are stuck deciding on what life career they want, business model and etc, instead of thinking what business makes the money for example, focus on the one that has the problems you would be fine to deal with, all of them have problems, of you are a copywriter you have to send out like 1000 cold emails a day to get clients, and of you are a YouTuber / influencer you have to deal with your identity on the internet, solve the problems you care about. Insight #2: Take responsibility for everything, There is no worse life I think then blaming other people around you for all your problems! It just makes you so negative, and unhappy, I say take responsibility for practically everything in your life, as it is the only way to truly be free! Even for stuff that is not necessary your fault, having this mindset will just do you and the world a good, I am a big believer in this. Insight #3: Life sucks sometimes and that is okay, Sometimes I think I have to and should be happy all the time. But the author of the book advises against that, he says due to social media, due to the fact that you are one scroll away from seeing someone on FaceBook for example having the time of their life smiling, then you keep seeing that, that is why we think everything needs to be perfect all the time, but it really does not and it is actually a good thing negatives happen, as there has to be balance with good and bad, I like to think there cannot be light without dark, back in the old days your grandpa or whatever would have felt bad and just got on with his life, we should be the same.

(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) This book changed my life. Definitely one of my all time favourites. If you, the young ambitious entrepreneur reading this, needs a book on a mindset to think bigger and also become happier, this is the book for you. I will link the free PDF for you below this, and I will just give a brief rundown of my biggest takeaways from this book. So let me tell you them, the author talks a lot about belief, of you believe you can do something / figure out something 80% of the time you will, this is true. Also, using positive self talk, like replacing your thoughts from “I can’t do this!.” To. “I can do this, just not yet!” Simple self talk changes like that really make a big difference over time. Your thought “diet” should be clean, don’t forget. Another thing was about handling negativity and stuff, I will always remember how he strongly suggests to be bullish in not hanging around negative people, and he says to NEVER GOSSIP, I strongly agree and especially with the not gossiping part. Also he says to NEVER COMPLAIN. Two more of my favourite insights coming up! This one is about inputs, the author strongly advises avoid negative inputs, so for you practically, avoid looking at negative news, listening to dirty music, looking at negative videos and comments, as it takes up your thought “diet.” My final favourite nugget of wisdom from this book was a tip that is used to counter worry! And the author says to do this every time you feel anxious about something, and that is to flip the common “What is the worst that can happen?” To “What is the best thing that can happen?” This will make such a big difference before all these important things we worry of they go wrong, like job interviews, exam results, business’s going right and etc, do not forget this!

(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) I remember back in March 2024… I started selling stuff on eBay I started making a lot of money online. I mean it wasn’t a crazy amount but for a 16 year old still at school it was pretty impressive. I think it was like £1000 in a month. All from simply selling old stuff around my home on the internet. It had been such a big goal of mine for so long I remember lol to make like £20 a day then just spend the rest of my day on games or whatever. I achieved that goal, as I made £1000 a month, which meant I was making much more than just £600 a month as I would have made with £20 a day. Yet I was still just like “Meh.” 🫤 I still didn’t feel good I was just like “Oh let’s make more.” Then I remember spending the money on some fancy cologne “Jean Paul Gautier.” Still emptiness. I didn’t realise what I was missing now, it took me a long time but finally I realised it. It was purpose, contribution, helping people, choosing the problems that I cared about. And loving my work. Also due to hedonic adaptation I got used to the money I was making… Most of all I had none of the purpose benefits, and thus I was unhappy. So what does this look like for you, the entrepreneur reading this? Here are your action steps: 1. Make your work fun, eliminate tasks you hate and add fun elements to your work like adding a social element, adding music, whatever you gotta do 2. See the greater vision in your work, make a note of your business's impact on the world of things go right 3. See money as a score of how well you are following your vision 4. Ingrain this quote “Of the journey was miserable to get there the destination will not fulfil you” 5. Understand money is great but it really is not all that, especially of you sacrifice your health and happiness to get it

(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) Are you locked in on your business working hard? Waking up super early, smashing out deep work with a black coffee? Sacrificing more and more, so you can work more? There is nothing wrong with this and I too am doing the above, but it is also important to keep in mind to not sacrifice too much and go too far, we all have our limits. It is kinda like how the author in the book “The Way Of The Superior Man.” Deida says “Lean just beyond your edge.” You see he is not telling you to not even go near the edge, nor is he saying live right at it and live in fear. He is saying just beyond it. So that means for you, the ambitious entrepreneur reading this. Don’t go too far, still enjoy your live, customise your work life to how you like it, work hard but still prioritise mental health, for example I like to work hard and play hard, I will work very hard for about 14 days, then take about 4 days off and completely enjoy myself guilt free. Find what works for you, there is no one size fits all, and keep working hard but do not burn yourself out and become some miserable, depressed entrepreneur…
