MY STORY:
I came from a working-class council house background with very little money but had something special that money could never buy, a very loving and supporting family
-
I developed an entrepreneurial and business mindset at the age of 13 when I wanted a lime green racing bike. My parents told me if I saved half the money, they’d give me the rest. I got a job doing an early morning paper
round and worked on a market stall three times a week and bought it myself.
-
This taught me some very important things, life is what you make it, and you can get whatever you want with the right mindset if you believe you can do it.
-
Major Life Milestone: Turned 21 and my first ever gym workout, which was to become the solid foundation on which I built my entire life and business.
150 dive bomber press ups then stand on one leg and deliver 100 roundhouse kicks without dropping your leg, easy when you decide you want to do it!
-
This where I developed and built my mental resilience, my kick ass mindset which carried over into every aspect of my life…
MINDSET is everything, what you believe, you will achieve!
-
I became a freelance graphics designer at age 21 and bought my first Ferrari at 23.
-
I became the studio manager for large well known advertising agency in London and excelled at being in business, learning quickly that my natural empathy and rapport building skills made me a great leader.
-
This was my first BIG mistake: Believing they cared, liked me and had my best interests at heart, buying into the corporate world, the pressure, the egos, the overwhelm, being under appreciated and unrewarded for my efforts all for the greater good of the company!
-
Allied with the tools, techniques, and strategies I picked up on mindset in my daily workouts and how powerful the mind truly is, I quickly learned how going through daily physical challenges and surpassing what I physically thought I was capable made a huge difference to my mindset and stress levels in the business world.
-
After building up their business and working there for 20 years, I learned at an early age (40) how cutthroat the business world can be, when I was horribly betrayed by the people, I trusted the most in my business life, and I believed their lies for a full year before I realised the terrible psychological and emotional damage, they were inflicting on me and knew it was a bitter battle I could never win. My second big mistake: I let others take away my power, something I would NEVER do again!
-
I licked my wounds for six months, set up my own business in Carnaby Street, but it was not to be! My business partner come financial director turned out to be a crook and my wife of 2o years also decided in her infinite wisdom she didn’t want to be married anymore. Life had gone horribly wrong and I’m not ashamed I crashed and burned big time! So much so, I suffered terribly from general anxiety disorder (GAD) and clinical depression.
-
It was time to take charge of my own LIFE and destiny! This was where my daily workouts and healthy eating habits really came into play and served me well! After a period of recovery (you cannot allow life to beat you) I reinvented myself as a Kickboxing Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Nutritionist, and before I knew it gained an exclusive client base around Kensington, Chelsea, Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Holland Park.
-
This is where my previous lifetime experience values and beliefs came into their own and I was in my element, my true power.
-
I found myself being asked for my advice on everything from exercise, nutrition, mindset, self-confidence, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing, and was loving every minute of it.
-
As word spread, I also did a lot of corporate workshops for companies such as Astra Zeneca, Diageo, BP, BAE Systems. Anglo American and many London Advertising Agencies, which helped to develop and hone my skillset even further.
-
I’ve appeared on BBC TV, Sky News, The Chrissy B TV Show, had my own radio show with Shoreditch radio, appeared in the London Evening Standard and was a wellbeing Ambassador for Sopexa International.
