September 06, 2023S3E21: The 6 High Performance Tools My Entrepreneur Clients Can’t Live Without
There are 6 killer tools my clients frequently use to help them perform at the highest level possible. Today, I’m going to tell you precisely what those things are.

Performance coaching is often too theoretical. You get a lot of good ideas, but not enough “how to”. Yet it’s the actual repetition of action that creates change.

You have to put the reps in.

Most people never get to this stage of action.

Today, I’m going to show you a few ways you can begin getting the reps in now, and start living a life you’re proud of living.

August 30, 2023 S3E19: Optimising Your Life For Max Freedom & Adventure: 4 Essential Ground Rules
My clients seek two things above everything else: adventure, and freedom. These are the four rules I teach them to shortcut the time it takes them to reach it.
I learned these the (very) hard way. My clients pay top-dollar for my help implementing them. In this podcast, I’m going to give you them for free.
I started my first business because I wanted ultimate freedom. It ended up trapping me because I failed to follow these rules.
I don’t want that to happen to you.
These rules aren’t obvious, but they’re sure as f**k useful. And their battle tested in hundreds of lives.

August 23, 2023S3E17: How To Be 1% Better Every Single Day
The theme that unites you - the readers of this blog - is the drive to become better.
It’s also what makes you and I the same.
I’m obsessed with becoming better.
But aside from the phrase “I want to be the best version of myself”, you probably don’t know what that actually looks like for you, and have even less idea of how to actually do that.
So in today’s podcast, I’m going to show you step-by-step how to become better each day.
So that this time next year you’re not looking back at another 12 months of no stagnation.
Most people stay stuck - or at least living below the life they actually want - because they lack a system to consistently make change.
They continue to take the easy path, not the one of growth because they don’t have a process.
Every time you choose the easy path you choose to be a worse version of yourself and have a less satisfactory life.
This easy choice doesn’t just affect you and your life, but those around you too.

By the end of today, you’ll know:
Precisely what you need to focus on to grow as a person
How to overcome the low moments
What your character training plan exactly looks like
How to sustain your growth for ever and never plateau

August 16, 2023S3E15: How To Use Personality Tests To Become A Better Business Owner
This podcast will show you exactly how to use personality testing to become a far better business owner.
I’ll be showing you the exact process I use to help entrepreneurs and business owners become a better version of themselves and therefore create a more profitable business that gives them more freedom.

Let’s cut to the chase. You’ve probably done a few personality tests before.

You hear about them on a podcast or curiosity just drives you there. You find a good one, spend 20 minutes filling it out and then what?

You get the results and they’re kind of interesting. But what do you actually do with the information?

Most of the time, you just store it somewhere in the back of your mind or forget about it entirely. Ultimately, you end up with a great resource but no idea what to do with it.

Therefore you end up in exactly the same place as you were previously.

This is a massive waste of an opportunity.

If you understand your personality at depth, and you understand how it will both positively and negatively impact you, you can put together a plan for overcoming the shortfalls which are unique to you.

You can also lean into your strengths aggressively to pursue your dreams.

A deep understanding of your personality, and a plan of personal growth tailored to you, will help you break through your current limitations in your business and wider life.

We’re going to cover:
Which personality tests actually work, and where to find them
How to interpret your results
Plans for balancing out your weaknesses

August 09, 2023S3E13: Stoicism Applied
Today I’m going to teach you 4 lessons from Stoicism that I impart to my highest performing clients to take them to their next level of lifestyle design and success.

First, know there are four main contributors to your mindset. Physiology, psychology, beliefs, and your personal philosophy.

It’s the final one that we will focus on today. The objective in developing your personal philosophy is to live consciously and intentionally according to a set of values.

Without this, you will be constantly pushed around by the winds of fortune: a “wandering generality” as one of my clients calls it.

When you live by a philosophy, you can banish so much of your second guessing that currently weighs you down.

You can also streamline your decision making, and accelerate your progress toward personal growth, and real-world success.

I’ve been researching, applying, and coaching philosophy for a decade now. Stoicism is by far the most effective school of thought for success in today’s world, and comes with ready made frameworks that take away a lot of the guesswork.

If your goal is to create more freedom and success through mastering yourself, and living a good life is important to you also, Stoicism is your starting point.

I’m going to share with you the 4 most powerful tools from Stoicism that will help you level up. They also happen to be the 4 tools I give to my clients over and over that have the greatest impact.

I’ll share how to:
Maintain positivity and belief whatever the challenge
Make huge progress on your biggest struggle
Find more calm and centredness in everyday life
Develop insane discipline and focus
