Dynamic professional with a fervor for entrepreneurship and fitness empowerment.

With a background in business management and marketing, l've honed my skills in driving strategic initiatives, fostering collaborations, and maximizing operational efficiency.

Beyond the business world, I am deeply passionate about fitness and well-being. A personal trainer for many years, I believe that a healthy body fuels a successful mind.

I envision a world where all individuals thrive both in their careers and personal well-being.

Through my work, I aim to empower professionals to achieve their business goals while maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

I was lucky to be mediocre and here’s why.


In fact, mediocre might be generous, because I always felt inadequate or less than others.


When I was younger:

- I was a bottom of the barrel student in school.
- Could’t do a push up to save my life. 
- Had social anxiety.


But this led me down a path to self improvement that made me push myself to be much better.


Today because of my obsession with improving myself:

- I graduated with a Masters degree from a top 50 University with a 3.5 CGPA 
- Can deadlift 205kg/ 452lbs (3x bodyweight)
- Post some form of my thoughts everyday to thousands of people.


There are always things you can improve about yourself to better your life. 


After 10 years of working on myself and studying self improvement principles,


Here’s 7 things I learned to prioritise:

_____

1. Behavior and Habits:
- Developing social skills, cultivating empathy, adopting new hobbies or interests.

2. Lifestyle:
- Eating a healthy diet, exercise habits, not drinking or smoking.

3. Health and Vitality:
- Improving fitness, maintaining good nutrition, managing your stress.

4. Perception and Response to Failure:
- Reframing past experiences, practicing forgiveness and acceptance.

5. Perspectives and Openness:
- Challenging beliefs, seeking new information, personal growth and development.

6. Body Composition and Appearance:
- Strength training, weight management, grooming and styling choices.	

7. Future Choices and Action:
- Setting goals, making positive changes, learning from past experiences.


Final Tip:

Let go of worrying about what you cannot change and focus on what you can.


Your future self will thank you.

1 thing you are not doing that could 2x your results:


—— You are not taking enough breaks. 


Yes you heard right. You know the saying; 

Quality over quantity.


Here’s how taking more breaks can help you improve productivity massively. (science backed): 

——

1. The Zeigarnik Effect: 

- Studies show that when we leave a task unfinished, our brain remains more focused on it. 
- Taking a step back allows our subconscious to continue processing the problem, often leading to sudden insights or breakthroughs. 

2. The 80/20 Rule: 

The Pareto Principle: 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes. 
- By taking a step back, we can identify the vital 20% of factors driving a problem, allowing us to optimize our efforts for maximum impact.

3. Resting State Brain Activity: 

Neuroscience research has demonstrated that when our brains are at rest, they exhibit increased activity in regions associated with 
- creative thinking
- problem-solving
- generating new ideas.

4. The Pomodoro Technique: 

- Pick a task
- Set a 25-minute timer
- Work on your task until the time is up
- Take a 5 minute break
- Every 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break
Studies show that this cyclical pattern leads to improved productivity, creativity, and mental well-being

99% of people don’t know about this framework.


“Atomic Habits” is one of the most popular and influential personal development/habit formation books of the last decade.


Here are the Key Points:

——

The 4 Laws of Atomic Habits:
    * Derived from the four stages of habit formation: cue, craving, response, reward.
    * Every habit is linked to these stages.

——

The Habit Process:
    * Cue: Triggers brain to notice opportunity for reward.
    * Craving: Emotional relevance attached to cue; prompts action.
    * Response: Behavior performed to elicit desired change.
    * Reward: Satisfaction gained from action, reinforcing habit.

——

Law 1: Make It Obvious (Cue):
    * Become aware of current habits with habit scorecard.
    * Use implementation intention and habit stacking to create obvious cues.
    * Specificity and realism are key.
    

Law 2: Make It Attractive (Craving):
    * Cravings involve anticipation and liking.
    * Heighten rewards with temptation bundling and redefining behaviors.
    * Anticipation is the greatest craving.


Law 3: Make It Easy (Response):
    * Only follow through on behaviors that are easy to perform.
    * Reduce friction by making behaviors effortless.
    * Use two-minute rule and small successes to build habits.


Law 4: Make It Satisfying (Reward):
    * Rewards must be satisfying for habits to form.
    * Add instant gratification to rewards with reinforcements.
    * Habit tracking can make behaviors more rewarding.

How to get ahead of 99% of people.


- "The average person spends 47% of their waking hours procrastinating” 
- “Chronic excuse-makers have 30% lower life satisfaction on average."


Overcoming making excuses and procrastination is the key to your success.
↳ Use my framework 👇🏽

——

1. Make Less Excuses:


• Identify your top 3 go-to excuses: 
- "I don't have time" 
- "I'm too tired"
- "It's too hard"

• Challenge each excuse with a counterargument:
- "I can make time by cutting out 30 mins of social media per day"
- "I'll feel more energized after a 10-minute workout"
- "The first step is always the hardest, but it will get easier"


• Implement a "No Excuses" policy:
- For the next 30 days, ban yourself from using your top 3 excuses
- When you catch yourself making an excuse, immediately replace it with a plan of action 

• Track your progress:
- Keep a daily log of when you were tempted to make an excuse, but didn't
- Aim for at least 3 "no excuses" moments per day
- Celebrate milestones, like a week or month without using your go-to excuses


——


2. Avoid Procrastination:


• Identify your procrastination triggers:
- Overwhelming tasks 
- Boring or unpleasant activities
- Lack of clear deadlines


• Use the 2-Minute Rule:
- If a task will take less than 2 minutes, do it immediately instead of putting it off


• Break big tasks into smaller steps:
- Create a detailed, step-by-step plan for tackling larger projects
- Complete one small step at a time to build momentum


• Implement the Pomodoro Technique:
- Set a timer for 25 minutes of focused, distraction-free work
- Take a 5-minute break, then repeat


• Eliminate distractions:
- Turn off notifications, close unnecessary browser tabs, and remove temptations
- Use website blockers or app limiters to restrict access to time-wasting activities


• Track your time and productivity:
- Use a time-tracking app to monitor where your time is actually spent
- Aim to increase your "time on task" by 10% each week

—

By developing systems to make fewer excuses and avoid procrastination, you can unlock your true potential and achieve your goals more consistently.


Consistent wins = Huge Progress.
