I'm a 22-year-old who's trying to build his dream life.

I'm currently co-founding a start-up, and this is my new HQ!

Yep, that's right… I'm building a new business from this bedroom in my parent's house.

I don't have a massive office.

And I certainly don't have millions in the bank like everyone here seems to have.

But I'm dedicated to working hard because I know the life I want for myself.

Starting a new business will bring its challenges, but that's where I can fall onto you guys for guidance. Hopefully🤞

I can't do it alone, and I'll happily admit that.

I've always wanted to figure out my real purpose, and building a business around one of my biggest passions might be just that.

Controversial opinion: My number one priority has always been and will always be work. 

I work so hard so I can grow my business, build my dream life and take care of myself and my loved ones. 

But every so often, the grind has to pause so I can be present in the moment. 

And I’ll be doing exactly that whilst I’m away celebrating my partners 21 in Mexico!

It doesn’t mean work will completely stop but it does mean less hours and no posting from me.

See you in a week 🙌

HOT TAKE: a carousel isn’t the ONLY way to grow on LinkedIn, just because the algorithm says so. Stop copying everyone 🤷‍♂️

To the people who blame the algorithm, this will hurt your feelings.

You’re not going to want to hear this, but it's true.

There are so many creators on this platform who still smash their posts even when a change happens.

All because they have one thing in common:

They have built a community that shows up daily and supports one another.

It's time to stop complaining and start building.

Yes, it takes hard work and discipline, and yes, you might not see results straight away.

But you need to be willing to put in the effort to see the success that will come from it!

Are you showing up for your community every day?

I’ve gained a fresh perspective on life!

I've been in Mexico for a week and it’s given me time to reflect on the past five years of my life:

The failures, the wins, and everything in between.

All of the important lessons life has taught me so far.

But it's also given me a chance to process the journey I'm about to embark on with my co-founder.

We can't wait to share what we have been working on, but our lips are sealed for now 🤫

It's tunnel vision from here, no looking back!

It's only a problem if you make it an issue.

I'm currently skiing in the French Alps, and I've been worried about work.

Every time I step away from work, I feel guilty I'm not doing enough.

When I'm back home, I usually work from 7am to 7pm most days.

It just feels weird that I'm not doing this here.

And you know what?

Being present and enjoying what's around me is not a bad feeling.

So instead of stressing about it, I decided to build a great team around me that helps while I'm away on holiday.

This comes at a cost, money, but it also creates memories.

Let's face it: that's the real winner here.

ps: That's why I've been less active. Too busy enjoying the slopes.

Perfection isn't going to help you before you start!

You know when you want to start something, but you feel it has to be perfect first?

That's a lie and the worst piece of advice I've ever heard.

Too many people sit there waiting to be perfect before taking action. Thinking the perfect plan is just around the corner.

Good luck with that one, haha. Instead, think of it like this.

❌ You don't need to perfect something to start.

✅ You need to start something to perfect it.

It all begins with your mindset and your attitude.

My mindset is this - The more failures I have, the better.

It's that simple.

Get out there and make something happen!

When I speak to people about communities, they all seem to think it's about the number.

But this isn't the case.

You can have a thriving community with 10 people in it.

10 people who share the same values and have great conversations.

And most importantly, show up to support each other.

The number of people, is not what makes a community successful.

It's the quality of that connection that makes the difference.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking it's always about the number.

If you'd like to build a start-up, listen up.

The days are gone when you could market the heck out of your business and be an overnight success.

There's so much more to it now than having a great product.

When building a business from scratch, one of the most important things you can do is build an audience and community.

People want to feel connected to the bigger picture and know what they are buying into.

A great way to do this is to show a little vulnerability.

Could you document your journey?

The good and the bad allow people to feel connected from the get-go.

Think about it!

All the best businesses in the world have built incredible communities that never would have existed without showing their human side.

It's time to get patient!

This is going to be something I'm doing more of this year.

Being patient and building slowly.

I always thought everything had to be done at 100mph, but it turned out to be the opposite.

When you take the time to build slowly, everything aligns properly.

I've been learning this lesson the hard way over the last few years, but now I'm ready to start building my businesses in a new way.

So when it comes down to building your own business or making changes in your life, try being patient instead of rushing through everything.

Trust me. You'll thank me later.

This is what it takes to build a one-of-a-kind community…

When you're building your community, please remember this one thing:

Honesty!

We all want to be seen as the best version of ourselves, and that's fine.

But we also need to be honest.

Currently, the best individuals and businesses are doing precisely this.

Let's take Represent as an example.

Their website crashed last Black Friday, and here’s what they did:

Openly admitted it.

But you know what they didn’t do?

- They didn't blame anyone else for the issue. They were honest.

- They didn't lie to make themselves look better. They were honest.

- They were fully transparent in resolving the problem. They were honest.

And being honest with your audience is the best way to connect with them.

When you are honest, you will feel more connected to your audience, and they will feel more connected to you.

It's a win-win for everyone.

Do I go to the gym?

Yes or No 



YES, YES, YES

I've said the answer for you.
