This is Katie and I on the plane on the way to Los Angeles yesterday!  We had an awesome 11 hour flight where I wrote 4 blog posts and had a huge amount of fun working on my projects and thoughts.  We landed in LA around 2 pm yesterday and made our way to our Airbnb in Santa Monica

What do you fill your life with?  It is completely full at the moment.  Every minute of your day is spent somehow!  What are you actually filling it with? 

Have you made a conscious choice of what you put into your days, weeks, months and years?

Just because something feels uncomfortable the first time you do it should you stop? 

We run an event at the PopUp Business School which is called walk like the president/first lady.   The basic message of the exercise is to change your body language to change the way you feel.  So we ask people to adopt confident body language and then walk round the room and meet other people.  The exercise creates some real energy in the room and gets people going!

In 2017 with ChooseFI Podcast I ran a contest to find someone with a cool business idea to coach and support for a year.  The plan was to coach one individual to create a resource of how to start a business that would help many more people like you. 

I launched my blog in November 2018 and I made my first profit!  On the 3rd of February 2019 this blog made £0.29!  

Alright it is not quite boats, champagne and endless BBQ food yet but it is a start.

Can a business school be financially independent? Financial independence means having enough wealth to live off without working. So your assets generate more income that you need to live.

Could this be applied to a Business School?

Who would leave a successful business as it was exploding with success and travel half way around the world to try something they have never tried before in one of the most competitive industries in the world?

​Is it crazy? When I tell people their faces tell me it is crazy! 

What are your dreams?  Have they changed over the years?  What have you always dreamed of doing?

Since an early age I have been inspired by the amazing TV shows of the 80s, the movies of the 90s and the last golden decade of the superhero movie. 

Financial independence is when your investments bring in more income than you need to live on.  What this means is that you have decoupled your time from your finances.  You can spend your time doing anything you want without having to worry if money is going to come in or not.

UK High Streets "have twice as many shops as needed" according to a recent report * 

​As I walk round my home town of Basingstoke, Hampshire there are empty shops on every corner and space waiting to be utilised!
