There’s something special about a land with so much ancient history. We’ve been travelling through China and this past week we visited the ancient village of Fenghuang, a place with over 1,300 years of living history woven into its streets. During the day you can see the ancient stonework, temples, bridges and waterways. And at night, everything comes alive. Lanterns illuminate the riverbanks. Old wooden buildings glow softly against the water. Music drifts through the alleyways. The river becomes a moving canvas. With performers, dancers & musicians in boats. Every detail feels intentional. But what surprised me most wasn’t just the beauty and cultural celebration. It was the continuity. An almost unbroken lineage of music, poetry, medicine, philosophy, architecture, food and spiritual tradition that has somehow survived the rise and fall of dynasties, wars, industrialisation, revolutions and modernity itself. You can feel that this civilisation remembers something, many other countries have missed. We witnessed tea ceremony with a tea master, a Guqin performance from a Guqin master, elite dancers and performance artists of all kinds - all honouring a very ancient tradition, and most of it developed to improve health, wellbeing & longevity. When I studied Chinese Medicine years ago, I remember being in awe of how truly ancient many of the classical texts were. Some of these texts span millennia and have been referenced, debated, interpreted and taught continuously by generation after generation of physicians and scholars. Century after century, over thousands of years. One of the most profound examples is the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine). A foundational Chinese medical text compiled at least 2,300–2,500 years ago during the Warring States period. And even that is likely a conservative estimate. What fascinated me most when I first studied this text…was that many of the ideas are still relevant today. One of the opening passages says:

Everything was ready for the wedding the next day. Mandy, being the queen of organisation, had thought of everything. But I noticed there was something missing. Our wedding theme was inclusivity - we wanted everyone to feel accepted, seen, and included. So instead of a traditional “bucks night,” I chose something different. I gathered a small group of men around a ceremonial fire. I had no agenda. Just deep gratitude for the incredible men who’d journeyed alongside me through life. My 79 year old father, my two sons, my adopted third son, my four brothers, my nephew, and my closest friends. Half the men had never sat in a circle before. The others were seasoned facilitators, familiar with the power of men’s work. That mix created something special - a safe, honest space where everyone felt free to speak from the heart. One friend asked, “What do you want to receive from this circle, Andy?” I said - “Mandy and I are good, so I’m not looking for marriage advice. I’m just grateful to be here and open to whatever unfolds.” One of my closest friends, suggested that everyone share how they knew me and anything they wanted to add. And that’s when it got real. One by one, they spoke. My eldest brother cried as he recalled the days I was “off the rails” - playing in punk bands, partying too hard, and flirting with disaster. He said, “I thought we were going to lose you, Andy.” My heart cracked open hearing that. He wasn’t wrong. Those were dangerous years. And I’m deeply grateful my family stuck with me when they could have disowned me instead. My oldest friend said, “You saved my life, mate. When I was right on the edge, you stayed on the phone for hours and helped me through the darkest moments of my life.” Another man said, “You had no reason to show up for me - but you did, consistently - when I needed you.” My adopted son said, through tears, “I’ve never met my real father — but Andy, you’ve been a father to me.” I wasn’t looking for praise. But the love and reflection in that circle hit me harder than I expected.

“Just be authentic” is well-intentioned advice. It’s also incomplete. Authenticity without structure often leads to long explanations, too much context, and conversations that feel warm but go nowhere. I see this constantly. A practitioner explains their journey. Their modalities. Their philosophy. The client nods… then says they’ll “think about it.” Not because they didn’t trust you - but because they didn’t know what decision they were being guided toward. Sales scripts don’t remove authenticity. They protect it. They allow you to stay present. They give your nervous system something to lean on. They ensure your best thinking shows up consistently — not only on your best days. That’s ethical sales. And this is especially true when you pivot online. Your expertise isn’t enough. You can’t rely on referrals online. What you say goes a VERY long way towards more online sales. In next week’s workshop, we’ll build the main assets you’ll need to have a complete online sales system setup inside your online business - in less than 30 minutes.
