Today I just want to say a big thank you to all of you who have supported Brojo – the community arm of my business – which had its 10 year anniversary some point this week. (I’m so bad with dates.) It started off as me and Mike Wells meeting up with a few dudes we knew in a bar Read More

I had a brutal wake-up call early on in my coaching business. I was haemorrhaging money. I wasn’t doing well financially, so I decided to do a deep honest review of all my finances, something I’d never really done before in my life.
