It started with a Scotch egg...
Hello there!
Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter, I hugely appreciate it. And I promise every email will be a 3 minute read and will be packed with value.
I have had a lot of new followers recently and just wanted to take a minute to intro myself and how I got here writing this email today.
It started with a Scotch Egg.
Stay with me….!
Five years ago, my now wife, Jess, had just made me an amazing birthday breakfast with a Scotch Egg as a cake (legend right?)
When she brought it in, I just burst out crying. I couldn’t help myself.
I was so stressed, burnt out, in a state of constantly thinking ‘What the f*ck am I doing with my life’ that this nice act caused me to have this mini breakdown.
I was constantly questioning my decisions, wasn’t focused or clear about what I wanted and looking back I had a weak mindset.
That was the day I realised I had to take personal responsibility for my own life. No one was going to fix this, except for me.
So I hired a coach.
The process was life changing for me.
I got focused quickly, I created a plan and completely changed my mindset. 👊
And when I told my mates about how I was feeling and the reason why I had to do something, they opened up to me.

I had more meaningful conversations with close friends of mine than I had done in 20 years.
And so a few years down the line I decided I want to help other men the way my coach helped me.
To get clear on what they want, get focused, create a plan to be consistent and adopt a winner’s mindset.
And lose all the rest of the bullsh*t that doesn’t matter.
So that’s my story.
So what’s in it for you then? Well every week I will send a newsletter packed with actionable tips around being at your best, hitting peak performance across all aspects of your life.
This newsletter is called the Thought Gym, because I guarantee that like going to the gym, if you do the reps, they will help you grow.
But to kick off and to show that I’m not full of sh*t, DM me and let me know ‘What is the biggest barrier that is stopping you performing at your best right now’? And I’ll reply personally to see if I can help.
Thanks again for joining me on this journey!
Cheers,
Steve

7moGreat to hear your story, Steve! It was reflection that got me started on my coaching journey. I was remembering all the different ways people have supported me throughout my career, and it inspired me to explore how I could give others that support.
