Helping you grow your income and impact, without the burnout!

March 21st, 2025 Hi Reader The other day I was out on one of my nature walks when I spotted a Gray Wagtail for the first time. It was a great moment! I've been a nature lover my whole life, but it's only been over the last few years, as I've focused on recovering from full-on adrenal burnout (I'm still recovering), that I've genuinely started to make time to be in, and surrounded by nature regularly throughout the week. I heard this bird first, before seeing it. So I got my phone out and...

February 28th, 2025 Hi Reader I hope you've had a great week! I'm writing this edition of Future-Proof from an exclusive book mastermind in one of my favourite places, Nashville, Tennessee. Since yesterday, I've been surrounded by world-class authors, entrepreneurs, and conversations about the power of books to transform businesses. I've been an entrepreneur for over 20 years, but one thing I've learned is that no matter how long you've been in business, your growth as a leader directly...

January 10, 2025 Hi Reader So, how has your 'new year re-entry' been?!! 😆 Welcome to the 2nd issue of the newsletter in 2025 and it's new weekly slot of Friday (moving from Sunday!). If you watched my YouTube video last week you'd have heard me talking about how I'm going all-in on 'time blocking' my schedule for Q1 of this year to see how I like it. After a week in, I can safely say… so far, so good. But, next week is the biggie. Next week is FULL of calls (at the right time), meetings (at...

January 5, 2025 Hi Reader Happy new year… and to the new-look Future-Proof Newsletter! As the calendar flips to 2025, there’s an unmistakable sense of optimism in the air - you've seen it / felt it, right?! It’s like the world gives us permission to hit the reset button and dream a little bigger. I’m embracing this fresh start by doubling down on some new habits, big goals, and exciting projects that I can’t wait to share with you. This year, I’m prioritizing progress over perfection. One of...

Hi Reader We missed last weeks Future-Proof, but for good reason... We hosted the inaugural Long Haul Leader Summit last weekend in Cambridge, UK, and to say that it truly was a life-changing weekend would be an understatement! I've hosted dozens of events over the last 14 years… and this one, by far, was the most important one of my career - so much so that I even choked up closing it out at the end of the weekend, as it meant that much to me! We had 100 entrepreneurs, all in the same room...

We've had hundreds of new subscribers this past week. If that's you, welcome! Hi Reader This is going to be a short Future-Proof. If you've been a subscriber for a while, you'll know I write this newsletter on Thursday, to be sent Sunday (as I don't work on Friday). The reason for the shorter edition is because we're in deep head-down mode prepping for our Long Haul Leader Summit, which by this time next week, will be on it's second of two live days of coaching, learning, masterminding and...

Hi Reader Scaling a business is a lot like trimming a bonsai tree (stick with me here). Just like a bonsai needs careful pruning to grow in the right direction, your business needs the right adjustments to thrive. As I was cutting some branches on one of my bonsai recently, it struck me how easy it is to let things overgrow—whether it's adding too many processes, expanding too quickly, or losing sight of what really matters. Here are three common mistakes entrepreneurs make when scaling, and...

Hi Reader Earlier this week I hosted an inspiring 2-day coaching retreat in Barcelona with my Round Table Mastermind Group. The retreat was a reminder of how important it is to take a step back from the daily demands of running a business. Too often, we get so caught up in the hustle of working in the business that we neglect the bigger picture—working on it. This retreat offered exactly that opportunity. Like with any other event we've hosted in the past, it's always incredible to witness...
