100-year-old productivity hack. Still works. Still simple.

1918. Charles Schwab runs Bethlehem Steel. Hires productivity consultant Ivy Lee. Lee's offer: give me 15 minutes with each executive, pay me what it's worth in 3 months. 3 months later, Schwab writes a cheque for $25,000, equivalent to $400,000 today. The method was that effective.

The Ivy Lee Method. Five steps. At the end of each workday, write down the 6 most important tasks for tomorrow. Not 7, not 10, six. Rank them in order of true importance. Tomorrow morning, start with task 1, work until complete. Move to task 2, then 3, one at a time in order. Unfinished tasks move to tomorrow's list. Repeat daily.

Why 6 tasks? Forces prioritisation. With unlimited tasks, everything feels important, nothing gets done. Six is manageable, ambitious but achievable.

Why rank them? Most people work on whatever feels urgent or easy. Ranking forces you to confront true importance. Task 1 should be the thing that, if completed alone, makes tomorrow successful.

Why one task at a time? Multitasking is a myth. Task switching reduces productivity by 40%. Takes 23 minutes to regain focus after interruption. Doing one thing until complete equals deep work.

Why plan the night before? Decision fatigue compounds throughout the day. By 4pm, decision-making quality is 40% worse than 9am. Planning tonight means decisions made when not depleted. Wake up, no decision required, just execute task 1.

Six tasks, ranked, one at a time. Decide tonight, execute tomorrow.

The Ivy Lee Method 100-Year-Old Productivity Hack 

One thing I’ve learned after building multiple teams: the most valuable people are rarely the loudest.

They’re the ones who quietly upskill when no one’s watching.

You can’t teach that level of internal drive.
You can’t force someone to care about their growth more than the company requires.

That has to come from within.

And from a neuroscience perspective, people who self-educate build something incredibly powerful:
a plastic brain.

Every new skill, every book, every online course, it all strengthens their neural pathways for adaptability, problem - solving, and creative thinking.

Those traits compound.

They become faster learners.
Better decision-makers.
More resourceful under pressure.
And over time, they outgrow people who rely only on formal training.

When I hire, I look for curiosity.
Not credentials.
Not polished answers.
Curiosity.

Because someone who reads, experiments, builds, tinkers, or studies on their own time will eventually outpace almost everyone else.
They don’t wait to be told what to learn.
They choose it.

And that choice is what makes them dangerous, in the best way possible.

If you’re that person, keep going.
Even if no one notices right now.
Your effort is compounding quietly.
You’ll feel the gap before anyone else sees it.

When Simon Squibb invested in our company we had done a thousand orders, fast forward a few years we have now done our 1 millionth order 

believed in what we was building and invested before it was obvious.

Since then, we’ve grown it into a $30M business. 

The best founders don’t stand still. They adapt.

I sat down down with Simon Squibb and break down exactly how I’d use AI to build a $30M business from scratch in 2026, and what actually matters when you’re starting from zero.

Gut health is everywhere right now.

Every influencer has a gut protocol. Every brand has a gut product. Everyone's talking about the microbiome like they have a PhD in it.

Some of it is real. Some of it is astrology in a lab coat.

Here's what actually holds up.

The gut-brain axis is real. Your gut produces 90% of your serotonin. The vagus nerve connects your gut to your brain. When your gut struggles, your mood often follows. This research goes back 30 years.

Probiotics for specific conditions are real. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG helps with digestive issues. Bifidobacterium longum helps with anxiety symptoms. But it's strain-specific. Random probiotics don't work the same way.

Fibre matters. Your gut bacteria feed on it. Most people need 25-30g per day. Most get around 15g. The research on this is overwhelming.

Here's what doesn't hold up.

Gut detoxes aren't real. Your liver and kidneys already do that. "Detox teas" are marketing, not medicine.

Fermented foods are healthy. But they're not the same as probiotics. The strains are different. The amounts are inconsistent. Most don't survive your stomach acid.

Leaky gut syndrome isn't a recognised diagnosis. Increased intestinal permeability is real and being studied. But selling you a cure for "leaky gut" is premature.

The pattern is simple. Real gut health science is specific. It names strains, cites studies, explains mechanisms.

Fake gut health science is vague. Buzzwords, big promises, no details.

Certainty sells. Accuracy wins long term.

Gut health audit

Your gut health isn't just about digestion.

It's the reason you wake up tired. Or struggle to focus by 3pm. Or feel anxious for no clear reason.

Your gut affects how your brain works every single day.

Five stages control this. When they're working, you perform better. When even one is broken, everything gets harder.

Stage 1: Microbiome diversity. You need 1,000+ bacterial species. Low diversity means more inflammation and unstable energy. Eat 30+ different plants per week.

Stage 2: Gut barrier integrity. When it's damaged, toxins leak into your bloodstream. That's brain fog and chronic fatigue. Reduce processed foods and manage stress.

Stage 3: Serotonin production. 90% of it is made in your gut. Low serotonin means poor sleep and mood swings. Take probiotics with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains.

Stage 4: SCFA production. Your gut bacteria digest fibre and produce SCFAs. They fuel your gut lining and reduce inflammation. Hit 25-30g of fibre daily.

Stage 5: Vagus nerve function. It connects your gut to your brain. Poor tone means constant stress signals. Improve it with deep breathing and cold exposure.

When all five work together, you wake up with energy, focus holds, mood stays stable, and you sleep deeply.

When even one is broken, you hit the 3pm crash, brain fog makes decisions harder, and small stress feels overwhelming.

Your gut is the foundation for how your brain functions.

Fix your gut. Perform better.

Five gut health markers that predict burnout.

These aren't just digestive issues. They're warning signs your body is breaking down.

Marker 1: Chronic bloating. Poor nutrient absorption. Even if you're eating well, nutrients aren't getting into your system. Poor absorption leads to deficiency, chronic fatigue, inability to recover from stress, and burnout.

Marker 2: Irregular bowel movements. Going 3+ days without or 4+ times per day means toxin buildup. Toxins recirculate instead of leaving. This causes brain fog, poor decision-making, more stress, and burnout. Normal is 1-2 times daily.

Marker 3: Food sensitivities that appeared recently. Gut inflammation and leaky gut. Undigested food leaks into your bloodstream. Your immune system attacks it. This creates inflammation, dysregulated stress response, inability to handle normal stressors, and burnout.

Marker 4: Sugar cravings, especially mid-afternoon. Blood sugar instability from poor gut bacteria. Unhealthy bacteria drive sugar cravings and prevent stable glucose regulation. Every crash depletes stress resilience. Blood sugar crashes lead to energy crashes, inability to sustain focus, falling behind, and burnout.

Marker 5: Poor sleep even when exhausted. Gut barrier damage and inflammation. Your gut produces melatonin and regulates circadian rhythm. Poor sleep damages gut lining. Damaged gut worsens sleep. This creates chronic inflammation, inability to recover, and burnout.

When all 5 are present, you wake up exhausted, brain fog makes decisions harder, small stressors feel overwhelming, you need caffeine and sugar to function, and recovery takes longer.

This isn't laziness. This is your body telling you the foundation is broken.

Fix your gut before you burn out. Not after.

Simon Squibb

Selling my company was supposed to be the best moment of my life.

It wasn’t.

After I sold my company, I did exactly what you think I’d do.

I bought a Porsche. A big house. A personal trainer five days a week.

And for the first time in my life, I was spending money on me instead of pouring it back into the business.

I thought I’d made it. All the years of hard work and risk, had been for this.

But something felt off.

For two years I drifted, I played golf, ate at nice places. And was spending more and more money to try and feel less empty.

I was only in my early 40s but had no real reason to wake up early anymore.

I’d realised, that when I was poor, I was a lot happier.

Not because having money made me unhappy. But because I’d sacrificed it for my purpose.

Money doesn’t bring happiness. It brings options. And if you don’t already have purpose, those options just amplify the emptiness.

So I sold the Porsche and stopped all the meaningless spending.

Now if I buy something, it’s because it means something.

I try and live like I’m poor and I’m happier that way. And before I die, I will give all my money away.

Purpose first. Money second.

That’s the way to a happy life.

On a mission to help 10 million people start a business for free

No alternative text description for this image

100 million people changed a stranger's life…

and it left me sick to my stomach.

Ayisha went viral after she told me she had a dream. She knew I could help her make it happen, but she ended up telling me her boyfriends instead.

We posted the video, the world loved it, and her boyfriend's dream came true.

Amazing. But I couldn't shake this feeling of guilt.

What about Ayisha?

I'd walked away without hearing her dream. She’d done something so selfless, yet I’d accidentally neglected her because of it.

So I called her. She told me how she wanted to be a singer and it had been her dream her whole life.

I had no clue how good she was but I knew she deserved her shot. So I invited her to my show at the London Palladium.

What she didn't know was that I was going to call her on stage in front of 2,200 people.

She had no warning. No time for rehearsals. So when I called her name on stage, I didn’t know WHAT was going to happen.

And I don't know how to describe what happened next.

When Ayisha opened her mouth, it felt like the whole room disappeared. It was just her voice filling every corner of that theatre.

She was amazing.

By the time she finished, I was crying. The audience were on their feet and then someone in the audience stood up…

"I want to sign her."

A record deal was offered right there and Ayisha’s dream was well on the way to coming true.

Ayisha gave her moment away. And because of that… she got a bigger one back.

For a relationship to work, you put them first. Even when it costs you.

My wife did that for me. I did it for her. That's the only reason any of it worked.

Ayisha didn't know she was teaching 100 million people what love actually looks like.

Give without take always comes back.

My Why! Want To Start A Business, let me help!

I lost a million-pound deal because of alcohol.

I've never had a drink before. Not at my wedding, not at my birthday. Not even in this photo. I was only posing with the drink to look cool.

But when I was building my previous business, Fluid, I was put in a difficult situation.

I was trying to close an extremely important deal for us. It was worth over a MILLION pounds, and everything was going right. 

Until the founder pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniel's. He said he wanted to toast to the partnership.

In my mind, I was hesitant. I'd always told myself I would never drink… but… this was £1,000,000.

I still said no.

The founder was offended, and the deal fell through. I walked out with nothing.

For months, I wondered if I'd made a mistake. A million pounds gone, all because of one glass of whisky. I could've even pretended to sip.

But here's the real reason I said no...

It's not that I'm incredibly healthy. Or incredibly disciplined. It's actually the opposite.

I have an addictive personality. Always have. When I get into something, I can't stop. I get obsessive. It's why I've been able to build businesses.

But with alcohol, that same trait would've destroyed me.

So when I was young, I made a decision. I just wouldn't start. I'd never miss it, I'd never crave it. It would never even be an option in my mind.

One year after that Jack Daniels meeting, I sat across from a billionaire. Talks were going well. Until again, he offered me a drink.

Despite knowing what happened last time, I still refused. But this time, the client didn't get offended. He respected it.

We closed that deal, and it changed my life. It also taught me a valuable lesson.

The wrong people will punish you for having principles. But the right people choose you because of them.

Sticking to your morals and boundaries will never backfire in the long run.

Never let a deal make you forget it.

I gave £10k to help this dreamer. One day you will know his name. 

My promise is to fight for everyone’s dreams.

I didn’t ask my wife to marry me.

She asked me. And I said yes before she finished the sentence.

23 years later, I still feel like she’s out of my league.

In a world where people swipe left and right, we’ve been together 23 years. And just like building a business, it hasn’t been perfect. But it’s been worth it.

When people talk about my success, 19 companies built, 81 investments, selling to PwC, they talk about me.

But the truth is, none of it happened without Helen.

She was my business partner for 12 years. She’s been my partner in life for 23.

She’s kinder than me. Smarter than me in most ways. And she’s spent two decades pushing me to be better.

When we started Fluid, I could’ve taken more equity. I had the money. I had the experience.

I gave her 50% and it was the best decision I ever made.

Helen showed me that success isn’t just making money. It’s doing the right thing. She showed me that helping people, even if it sometimes meant losing money, is what’s important to make the world a better place.

If I hadn’t met her, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

So on International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate the incredible woman I met in Hong Kong all those years ago.

The woman who helped shape my life, my values, my businesses and my family.

Helen. Thank you for everything. ❤️

Well done Sammy!!!

Ignore that email your school sent you. Because you just learned something far more valuable.

Sometimes you have to break rules that don’t make sense. And no, not all the rules... but just the stupid ones.

This is a prime example of why I home educate my son.

We don’t learn about Stonehenge. We go to Stonehenge.

He doesn’t just meet classmates. He comes with me to business meetings, meeting hundreds of people from different careers and cultures.

He learns from all of them. Not just one teacher.

Yet, school keeps you in the same room, with the same people, for 18 years.

But I haven't met a single kid alive that learns best like that...

Kids learn by watching and experiencing.

One random Tuesday in a classroom won’t define a child’s future. But core memories like going to a football match will.

Education should support what a child wants to explore. Not control it.

Well done, Sammy. I bet you'll never forget this!

I made a book for kids!

To teach them about business and help them explore their dreams. 

Please buy it for any kids you know! 🙏🏻

Everything school didn’t teach me. 

This book is personal.

I will use the profit to fund dreams and support people in their dreams. 

What I wish I had had when I was younger basically.

Last night we changed the world and made it a better place. 

Last night I got to live a dream.

It made me think….

Not sure who needs to hear this but 👇🏻

You can do it! 

Yes you can. 

Any wild dream you have can happen!

Last night I performed at the London Palladium to a full house of thousands of people.

The Beatles, Judy Garland, Madonna are the greats that have performed there. 

The energy was a dream.

I was told I was stupid at school. 

That I was lazy.

And that if I didn’t go to uni I wouldn’t make it..

I say; block out the negative noise, follow your gut. 

Find your dream and persist and you will make it. 

Use your talents to get there and get good at what you are naturally good at. 

Don’t ask “what will you be when you grow up” but ask “what problem would you like to solve” and shift away from being shaped into what others want you to be. 

Don’t listen to anyone that tells dreams aren’t possible.

Believe in yourself.

Do the work.

Commit.

Surround yourself with people that have your back and don’t want to hold you back.

Trust the process and it will happen. 

We also helped 6 dreams come alive last night via the power of community.

2500 helping each other! It was a magic thing. We can even do it here on social. Who should we help today tag them below and let’s do it together.

The future is brighter than you think. 

Turn off the news. 

Focus on your dreams.

Success is on the other side of fear and all you need to do is be brave enough to ask for help.

Note; Image is AI. You can see it obviously. Just for fun. Photos I have don’t show the crowd due to the lighting bright on stage and dark in the crowd. Hard to get the stage and the crowd showing due to the lighting. But we did help 6 dreamers that night and sell out which was a moment.

I’ve NEVER asked my son what he wants to be when he grows up.

And I never will.

When my dad was alive, the plan was for me to be a lawyer.

I was a kid, so I never questioned it. I thought it was 
 what I was meant to do.

But when he died. I realised I’d never actually wanted that.

That question - “what do you want to be when you grow up?” - puts a kid in a box before they’ve even started living.

Lawyer. Doctor. Accountant. A 7-year-old isn’t ready to pick.

The question I ask my son is different: “What problem do you want to solve?”

Because if a kid says “I want to solve loneliness”… that opens up hundreds of paths.

Technology. Psychology. Community. Content. Charity. Hospitality.

If that same kid says “I want to be a lawyer”… they’ve just closed every door except one.

Schools don’t ask the right question. Because schools weren’t built to create problem solvers. They were built to create workers.

That’s why I pulled my son out. And it’s why I wrote this book.

Every kid is born knowing how to dream. Then somewhere along the way, we teach it out of them.

This book is my attempt to make sure that doesn’t happen.

My greatest achievement isn’t money.

I’ve built businesses, travelled the world and made millions of dollars.

I’ve been incredibly lucky.

But none of that would matter without my wife.

I’ve been with Helen for 25 years. And for 25 years, we’ve chosen each other, every single day.

Through risk. Through stress. Through wins and losses. We’ve had each other’s backs no matter what.

And what I’ve noticed (especially on social media) is that society celebrates the wrong things.

People post fancy cars and expensive holidays, chasing likes and followers.

But the people I admire most aren’t flexing a Rolex to strangers.

They’re on a random Wednesday afternoon bike ride, hand in hand with someone they’ve loved for decades.

They don’t worship material things.

They own their own time. And they choose to spend it with the people who matter most.

Maybe this post isn’t flashy enough.

Maybe if I posted a supercar and a harem of women it would get more engagement.

But I know first hand, likes aren’t there when you’re struggling.

They don’t sit next to you when you’re doubting yourself, and they don’t spend decades building a life with you.

Relationships are the most important thing in the world.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my wife. I love you.

Brand partnership • On a mission to help 10 million people start a business for free

These twins are 7’11.

They want to be basketball players. 

They’ve got the height, talent and passion.

But if school had its way, they’d be sat at a desk working on their essay writing. Focusing on the stuff they’re “bad at.”

The stuff they don’t even enjoy.

Look at this photo. We’re completely different.

And that’s the same for every single person in the world.

Every kid is different. Different strengths. Different ways of learning. Different dreams.

But the education system treats them all the same.

Same classroom. Same subjects. Same tests. Same pace.

The kid who learns by doing gets told to sit still. The kid who thinks differently gets told to focus. The kid with one incredible strength gets told to fix the stuff they’re bad at.

We should be building on what makes kids unique. Not beating it out of them.

Every child is different. The way they learn should be too, and that’s why I wrote a book for children.

To teach kids how to find what they’re best at. Chase their own passion and build their own path.

No 2 kids are the same. We shouldn’t teach them like they are.

My son won’t inherit a penny from me.

People think I’m cruel. Some have said it to my face. “You’ve got the money, why wouldn’t you set him up?”

But just handing him money is the worse thing I could do for him.

70% of wealthy families lose everything by the second generation. 90% by the third. 

Because these kids were handed fish instead of fishing rods.

Kids I grew up with whose parents gave them everything, ended up becoming miserable. 

They had no real purpose and no idea who they are without the money.

My job as a parent isn’t to give my son a fish. It’s to teach him how to catch his own.

If I have to leave him money, I’ve failed.

So I’m giving him something better. Time. Attention. Skills. The belief that he can build something himself.

He’s 7. He won’t be 7 again. I’m not wasting these years preparing him for a handout.

I’m preparing him for a life.

Before I die, I’ll give all my money away. Every penny.

And my son will be just fine.

Because he won’t need it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you want to teach the exact same lessons I’m teaching my son, to someone you know…

What more proof do you need?!

This is not a “natural” loss in creativity as we age.

It’s being TAUGHT out of us by an education system that doesn’t want creative thinking.

It’s designed to create a work force that follows orders. 

It rewards the right answer, not new ideas. It rewards sitting still, not exploring. It rewards following instructions, not thinking for yourself.

Every child starts as a genius. Then we send them to school and teach them to be average.

This is why I've spent the last 6 years fighting to change the education system. And it's why I wrote a book to teach kids the things school never will.

This stat alone should be enough proof that children are being taught the wrong things.

We need a change.

I wrote a book to help kids keep their creativity and use it to build a life they love.

War today, what a pain.

This morning I woke up like many of us to the news of Iran being attacked. 

While trying to work out what’s happening I get an email that all my TV news appearances today are cancelled.

I had a full day planned to share my positive news of hope with the world.

I thought, that’s so annoying. 

I had planned to share my news on the kids book coming out and how many dreamers we have helped and their success stories.

All positive news for the world, instead it’s replaced by WAR and death news.

I was bummed out. 

Then I realised what a selfish ass-hole I was being. 

Think of the poor families and human beings being bloody bombed today! 

That’s the thing I should be concerned about.

Why are humans so selfish by default sometimes. 

Sometimes in this crazy news cycle world we forget perspective and - FFS! humans are being killed today because of ideology differences between countries. Mostly (in my view) a communication disconnect. I know it’s more complicated than that don’t come after me LI worriers x 

I wonder when I see this happened, what can one person (me), can do to help?

I cannot help but default to the desperate need to fix the education system. 

Having travelled the world from the age of 23 and seen how similar so called different cultures are to us, I have educated myself that people are all the same.

It’s only management systems that differ. (Governments).

Irans management style is the issue. 

USA management system does not reflect all US citizens just as Irans doesn’t. 

I try not to get political as it divides us not pulls us together, so I won’t give involved in the debate on if war is justified or not but I will say it makes me even more determined to fix the education system so we can unite as humans.

I will go on the news another day and try and spread my positive message. I am not getting bombed and should be grateful but hard to be grateful when you see others in pain. 

We are all connected if we like it or not.

In the mean time, what can we do to help fix stuff like this then? 

How about let’s be nice to all nationalities today and realise we are all the same human beings - we love food, our families and LinkedIn. ❤️

Right?

Ps. Not telling my son there is a war today and letting him enjoy life. Sometimes is it better to just turn off the news? Do you tell your kids about all this awful stuff?

Tomorrow, this book goes on sale.

And I’m not going to pretend I’m calm about it.

I’ve built 19 companies. I’ve pitched to rooms full of investors. I’ve been homeless. I’ve been a millionaire. I’ve been broke again.

None of that scares me like this does.

This is my purpose.

When I was 9, I wanted to be a BMX trick biker. I was told it wasn’t a real job. So I gave it up.

When I was 15, I was homeless. No parents. No money. No one to tell me what to do next.

When I was 22, I wanted to be rich. I chased money for 20 years.

When I was 40, I retired. Played golf. Had everything I thought I wanted. And I was miserable. No purpose. No reason to get out of bed.

It took me over 40 years to figure out what I actually want to do with my life.

40 years.

I don’t want that for your kids.

I don’t want a single child to sit in a classroom being told their dream isn’t realistic.

To spend decades chasing someone else’s version of success.

To wake up at 40 and wonder what happened.

So I wrote a book.

Not for adults. For kids. For YOUR kids.

It teaches them the things school never will. How to find what they love. How to build a life around it. How to take the first step. How to fail and keep going. How to ask for help. How to find their purpose.

The same lessons I teach my own son. The same lessons I’ll leave him when I die.

Not money, but the knowledge in this book.

Because a kid from a council estate deserves the same knowledge as a kid from a mansion.

This is the most important thing I’ve ever made. And tomorrow, it’s yours.

We teach kids how to pass exams.

We teach kids how to get into university.

We teach kids how to become employable.

But kids are never taught how to start a business. They’re never taught how to create a purposeful life.

They’re never taught how money works. How to sell. How to lead. How to find what they love and build a life around it.

It took me 30 years and 19 companies to learn what should have been taught to me as a kid.

So I wrote a book to teach it to yours.

What’s Your Dream? The Workbook. You can order now.

Here’s the link to get it - https://amzn.to/465jTOz

Share your business idea!

Nobody is going to steal it.

Share your dream, and 9/10 will help.

The 1/10 that does want to steal it, will unlikely have the time, resource, or passion to make it happen anyway.

Sharing ideas is underrated, and the worry of ideas being stolen is overrated.

The bike is not an original idea, but that doesn’t stop new bike companies popping up and finding success.

Share your dream, and you’ll attract people who can help you make it happen.

Let me know yours below 👇

Unpopular prediction; No more need for doctors by 2031.

I have been warning of this for years. 

It’s happening quicker then I thought that’s all.

We need to all be ready.

WE URGENTLY need to update the education system to prepare folks.

How? simple at first….

Stop asking kids 👇🏻

“what will you do when you grow up?” (This “jobs” waiting for you - is over)

Instead ask👇🏻

“what problem will you solve when you grow up?”

And start thinking like an entrepreneur.

Start teaching entrepreneurial thinking.

Stop asking AI to think for you and start asking AI to build for you.

No entrepreneur is worried about AI.

We just think how it leverage it.

Only workers are worried AI will replace.

I know I get hate for this vision..:.but everyone is going to need to start thinking like an entrepreneur.

Innovate or die.

Data is proving me right already.

Over 700,000 kids in the UK who have just come out of University cannot find a job. Not in the future, now!

So they need to create one.

Good news is if you have a phone, access to AI, HelpBnk, Social Media, and WiFi you can do so much easier than ever before!

Are you seeing it yet?

Simon Squibb suggests everyone should learn to be entrepreneur.
