What you do in private always shows in public.

You are what you create when no one is watching.

Here's how to build habits that help you grow:

🏡 1. Design your environment

Remove friction from good habits.

Add friction to bad ones.

If you want to read more, put books everywhere.

If you want to eat better, don't buy junk.

Your environment shapes your default behavior.

✅ 2. Track what you can control 

Most people track outcomes (revenue, weight, followers).

Winners track inputs (calls made, workouts done, pages read).

You can't control results.

You can control daily actions.

Track what you do when no one's watching.

🏃‍♀️ 3. Build identity, not goals

Don't say "I want to be fit."

Say "I'm someone who works out."

Don't say "I want to grow my business."

Say "I'm someone who shows up daily."

Your private actions prove who you are.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be?

It's built in private.

What you do today when no one's watching becomes who you are tomorrow when everyone is.

The loudest critics are usually the least qualified.

I’ve seen it so many times.

The people telling you to play it safe:

→ Haven’t taken a risk in 10 years
→ Complain about their job daily
→ Dream but never execute

The people telling you to be “realistic”:

→ Settled for mediocre their entire life
→ Gave up on their dreams years ago
→ Mistake their limitations for wisdom

Successful people encourage you to take smart risks.

Unsuccessful people warn you about every possible failure.

Filter your feedback:

“Would I trade places with this person?”

If the answer is no, their criticism is just noise.

How to protect yourself from bad advice:

1. Audit who you listen to 

→ Only take advice from people living the life you want.

2. Limit exposure 

→ Stop asking people for input you don’t need.

3. Build an inner circle

→ Surround yourself with people who actually do, not just talk.

4. Train your filter 

→ Question the source before questioning yourself.

The people qualified to criticize you are usually too busy succeeding to tear others down.

Most people spend years waiting for their life to change.

"Once I get funding, I'll take care of myself."
"Once I hire a team, I'll start exercising."
"Once things calm down, I'll fix my sleep."

But "once" never comes.

The business never calms down. 
The inbox never empties. 
The perfect moment never shows up.

Here's what I've noticed about the entrepreneurs who actually make the shift:
They stop waiting and make one tiny commitment instead.

Something like: 6am. 20-minute walk. Every single day.

It feels ridiculous at first. You don't have time for walks. You have a business to run.

But 90 days later, everything shifts:
• Better sleep
• Sharper focus
• Clearer decisions
• Faster business growth

The secret isn't some massive overhaul.

It's 20 minutes before anyone else wakes up.

Most people think routines are boring.

Routines aren't restrictions. They're the foundation that makes freedom possible.

If you're waiting for the right moment to change your life, stop.

Ask yourself this instead:

What's one thing you could do tomorrow morning that your future self would thank you for?

Start there.

Documenting the journey of crafting a timeless coffee cup brand | CEO & Founder of Cupsly

My story isn’t about a polished entrepreneur. My journey hasn’t been traditional. I left school without an English qualification, uncertain of what the future held. 

That failure shaped me, it forced me to think differently, fall into business, and ultimately embrace creativity, resilience, and the belief that change is possible, even when doubted. Fast forward to today, I’m growing and scaling businesses while sharing the real lessons that come from it.

Execution will humble you in more ways than advice ever could.

And this, by far, has been my best realisation.

It's actually scary how much advice is in the world we live in. And normally, it's not the correct advice. The truth is, advice that will improve your business is hard to come by because everyone is sharing an opinion online.  

But there's one thing that beats any advice:

Saying you'll do something and actually doing it.

In my teens, I told myseIf was going to go all in on business, and that meant learning many things I once never knew. How? Real experience.

Less talking, more doing.

I didn't have a background in marketing, I learned.
I didn't have a background in brand, I learned.
I didn't have a background in R&D, I learned.

And here's what I found out...

When you start facing real situations, real problems, and real outcomes, you quickly see who’s telling the truth and who isn’t.

You learn who to trust.

Advice has its place. But execution is what changes things.

Growing @thistlescientific and sharing the lessons while I do

What if I told you... I don't post every day to grow my brand.

I hear the same advice here all the time:

"Post more"

And it makes you feel like it's the only way to grow your personal brand as a founder or someone working to grow or scale a business.

But I've learned something different. Build your business first because that ultimately gives you the content ideas that actually make your brand.

The struggles
The achievements
The new hires you made

That's the content that's actually engaging.

Stop posting every day with the hope that a piece of content will hit. Just document the situations you've been through, and you'll be surprised how many people find this style of content engaging.

That's what makes it worth the read.

Build first, then document.

I’ve just landed back from a week in the mountains.

And it reminded me how easy it is to forget what really matters.

I know I talk a lot about business because it's something I'm passionate about, but let's be real, it will never be as important as family. 

Scaling a business takes a lot out of you, early mornings, late nights, and missing certain celebrations. It's honestly brutal sometimes. 

Because it never stops!!!

You always have something that needs implementing, changing or improving, but what I've realised is that time away with your family allows you the space to think, enjoy and realign. Never take this for granted.

Honestly, had the best couple of days... now super exctied to get back and execute on the plan we've set out over the past couple of months.

We did it!!! Thistle is rebrand ready...

Over the past few months, we've completed a full rebrand at Thistle Scientific, one that has pushed, tested, and shaped the new direction we're heading in. These will be the months I'll remember forever, but...

I want to talk about what goes into a rebrand:

The late nights thinking decisions through.
The transition phase throughout the organisation.
The alignment through the internal team and external partners.

They all hit you! But in a good way.

Because eventually, you see all the pieces of the puzzle coming together, and you appreciate all the details and hard work that went into every part of it.

But this whole process got me thinking about one thing, "change", and how so many of us are nervous about it. This is a good feeling to have. 

It means you're pushing yourself.

Take it all in!!!

The most important skill of an entrepreneur is to do the basics first.

I used to fight this idea because it sounded too simple.

Sticking to a routine 
Doing the things you promised.
Being open-minded to the problems. 
Interacting directly with your customers.
Executing the plan you set out with your team.

It really is simple!!! 

At the start of this year, I told some of my closest friends what I was going to do. Less talking and more just focusing on what creates the moment. 

And I can already feel it. It hasn’t been anything out of this world, it's just been staying focused on what matters most in the buisness. And normally, these are the tasks you repeat.

You've got to understand that most people will dislike doing the basics over and over again, becasue it can become boring and not fun. But these are the tasks that create the difference that changes your life and business. 

It may be boring, but it works.

3 years ago, navigating a merger, improving systems, and building a stronger foundation.

Since then, Thistle Scientific has grown year on year, hired across multiple countries, and deliberately focused on scale. Why?

Equipping scientists around the world requires collaboration, obsession, and teamwork. It’s understanding what will help each researcher improve the work they’re doing.

But there’s an even bigger reason…

Scaling allows us to support even more researchers, and the better support they get, the more impact their work can have on the rest of the population.

Any researchers here... would love to chat with you.

One of the best decisions I've made as a 25-year-old growing a biotech business was to... spend time with people who have already done it.

Not people who're trying to sell you something.
Not people who shut down your ideas every five minutes.

But the people who have lived and breathed the problems you are facing.

The real operators. And what I've noticed is that they don't try to sell you online they are heavily focused on real outcomes. They have this credibility where they've been there and done it. You can just feel it!!!

So, if you're going to surround yourself with successful people:

Do your due diligence
Ask the important questions
Don't waste your time and especially theirs.

That's where real change is created.

Evean, now I've got so much to learn and it's so important to remember that the moment you think you've understood it all will be the moment you stop making progress.

We had a chance to showcase our new design in Thailand.

I pulled it... You only get one first impression.

We had an opportunity to move fast on some new design work. It would've lined up perfectly for our ASIA distributor meeting in Thailand next month, so I pushed for it. 

I thought it would be:

Great to share the new innovation.
Great to share the new Thistle identity.
Great to share our new direction with them.

But I was chasing speed over execution.

The lesson wasn't "slow down". I still believe in moving fast.
The lesson was "speed" without clarity is just expensive.

Coming straight out of a rebrand, it’s easy to chase momentum. But when you do that, you can lose the bigger picture and that costs you.

Growth never happens when you move without clarity. You only get one chance at a first impression, so we are making sure ours is worth it.

"TEST THE LIMIT"  that's what our rebrand was built on.

When we started to plan our rebrand, we didn't view ourselves as successful. We saw ourselves as a challenger brand. A brand that wanted to do things differently from others in our industry.

This was our starting point.

From the first conversations I had with our team, they were all open-minded to it and wanted to be aligned on the bigger picture, but there was something I noticed more special. 

They all wanted to be a part of it.  Contributing, debating, and just being fully curious. Through my years of learning business, I've noticed that one of the best traits in any business is the team being curious. They like to get stuck in. And here's what I've seen:

They adapt quickly to problems and solutions.
They build better products and services.
They spot opportunities others ignore.
They make better decisions.

Being curious is lethal (in a good way)

There's something special about being around an open-minded team. A team that wants to play an even bigger part in this journey. It's pretty cool.

Very proud to announce the next chapter of Thistle Scientific.

Thistle has expanded a lot over the years as a team, company and scientific partner.

Today, we’re updating our entire visual system to convey a clearer, bolder expression of who we are and the purpose we stand behind. Now the time feels right to step into our next chapter and announce the rebrand of Thistle Scientific.

One that will demonstrate the connection and deeper understanding we have for researchers and global organisations who are changing the world for good.  

Just like research, brands must evolve too. We must listen, adapt and strengthen. That's what we're here to do. Committed to the direction we're heading, and that's to equip scientists to be relentless in changing the world for good. 

One hypothesis at a time. 

Welcome to Thistle 2.0

Because science is never done. So, neither are we.
