The Broken Window Effect at Work.

Sometimes burnout doesn’t start with too much work.
It starts with too many small things left unresolved.

The message you never get back.
The feedback that never arrives.
The meeting that ends without a decision.
The standards that exist somewhere, but never clearly.

Each one is tolerable on its own.
Together, they quietly change how you work.

You stop asking questions because it feels pointless.
You fill in gaps that shouldn’t be yours to fill.
You manage ambiguity instead of doing the job you were hired to do.

That’s where the exhaustion comes from.
Not effort.
Uncertainty.

People don’t burn out because they’re incapable.
They burn out because they’re constantly compensating for what the environment doesn’t provide.

If work feels heavier than it should, it’s worth asking:
What small things have been broken for a long time?

They’re usually the real reason your energy keeps leaking.

P.S. If you want 2026 to feel different, don’t start with goals.
Start with clarity.

Most people don’t need more discipline.
They need to understand what’s been draining them and what deserves their energy.

I’ve spent years refining a simple process to help you with exactly that.

The Broken Window Effect at Work

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.

Huge respect to Co-op  

It takes serious guts to admit when you’re wrong.

And it’s also all well and good shining a light on the negative.

But it’s even more important to highlight the positive.

I’ve watched companies, time after time, ignore their customers and put profit first.

But co-op not only admitted they’re wrong but showed the change they’re making.

And that’s why, like I said in my post, co-op is my favourite superstore. It’s built on community and that’s what I love.

From doing something wrong, to becoming an example other companies should follow. 

Well done co-op.

This is a disgrace.

I used to like co-op.

I loved their commitment to building a community.

But this tells us they don’t really care at all.

Trying to influence their own customers, their own community, to consume poison is beyond disgusting.

Imagine someone who’s just quit vaping. It took incredible constraint and bravery for them to stop. They walk into Co-op to buy food to survive…

And they’re ambushed by the very thing they fought so hard to avoid.

That's not supporting their community like co-op claims. It's just exploitation.

You don’t get to pretend to be purpose-driven and push addiction for a margin bump.

You don’t get to say you care and sell out the people you claim to serve.

Do better, Co-op. You’re better than this. Or at least, you used to be.

We’re always talking about what makes someone successful.

“Wake up early.”
“Make your bed.”
“Work harder than everyone else.”

But we never talk about the real reason most people succeed.

The people behind them.

The ones who believe in them and push them to be better.

For me, that’s my wife.

She’s been my business partner for the past 35 years.

But more than that, she’s been my mirror, my backbone, and my biggest push forward.

She’s the reason I’m successful.

That’s the part these gurus won’t tell you.

Success isn’t about routines. It’s about relationships with the ones you love.

It’s the people who make you better.

Make sure you’ve got the right ones in your corner.

You don’t need money to start a business!

Only non entrepreneurs think you do.

I will prove it…. watch this space….

If you feel stupid. Read this.

I used to walk past WHSmith as an insecure kid.

I was convinced I could never write a book, let alone have it sold by them.

In school, I was put in the “special” class because I couldn’t read or write.

I was called stupid. And I believed it.

All I knew was that A meant clever and D meant dumb.
And I was getting Ds.

That was the only system I ever knew and at 15, I became homeless.

That made me think I was even more stupid. I couldn’t even get a job because I had no NI card.

But that made me realise something…

The same system that told me I was broken… was broken.

So I started looking elsewhere and stumbled into something I’d barely even heard of…

Entrepreneurship.

At first, I didn’t realise it, but it was the one thing that finally made sense.

I was never taught about it in school. But it taught me everything I needed to know.

Entrepreneurship changed my life.

It showed me I wasn’t stupid, I just had a different kind of intelligence.

The kind of intelligence that shows up in REAL life.

To some, I’m still “stupid.”

To others, I’m a multi-millionaire who helps millions of people.

And today… my book What’s Your Dream? Has just been named WHSmith’s Book of the Month.

If you grew up in the UK, you know how big that is.

From walking past thinking I could NEVER do it…

To my face being on their window.

And weirdly, I want to thank that teacher who called me stupid.

They didn’t mean to help me. But they did.

Most of the good things in my life have come from people who didn’t mean to help me.

So to anyone who’s been told they’re not good enough:

This book might just change your life. It’s currently just £5.49.

YEARS. Literally years, I've been trying to make this happen.

I just met the most famous person on the planet. A guy with over 1 BILLION followers. A guy who's given away more money than most countries...

MrBeast  
And what I asked him when I got the chance was...

Slightly insane.

Now I've promised to fund 1,000 dreams. And I'm going to follow through.

If you have a dream and need funding. Let me know in the comments

She started her dream with no money!

It’s not who you know. 

It’s who you ask.

The strongest people ask for help.

Every “self made” person I have ever met got help and are not self made.

Today I invested in this chef’s dream. 

Tomorrow she will invest in yours.

Let’s help each other and make asking for help easy, normal and default back to our factory setting of give without take - not give and take. We will all be happier if we do. 

What’s your dream?

#dream #business x

What Will Smith told me about dreams…

I’ve been asking people “What’s your dream?” for almost 6 years now.

And last week, I finally got to ask someone I’ve looked up to for decades.

“My dream is to be part of humanity finding the final answer.”

I asked him what that meant.

“Deep down, we’re all searching for something. Some people search through science. Some through religion.

But we’re ALL looking.”

Then he said the thing I’ve been saying for years…

“Buried in your pain… is your purpose.”

Most people think their dream is separate from their struggle.

It’s not.

Your biggest pain IS your biggest clue.

It’s the thing you’re here to fix.

But most people choose to run from it out of fear.

The best way to face your pain…

Is to solve it for other people.

52 meetings, 5 YouTube videos, 21 clips, 1 keynote, 1 comedy show.

Over 100m views. 

Guess how long that took? 

One day in Dubai.

Location is important when making your dream come true.

It’s why I am against buying houses.

You shouldn’t tie yourself down to one location.

If you want your dream to come true. Go where the energy is.

Her pasta was SO good…

I tried to buy the whole restaurant 😱

I’ve been hundreds of people’s first ever customer.

I’ve bought people equipment. Flights. Even given people money to quit their job.

But I’ve NEVER bought someone their OWN restaurant…

Because most people aren’t ready to immediately jump into running a restaurant.

But Navseerat is.

So I’m currently negotiating to buy a restaurant, to give to her, for free.

If you want to see how this unfolds. Follow me.

All updates will be posted right here.

I'm paying people to QUIT university.

Young people are lost. They leave school with no life experience. Never asked what they truly want to do. Never asked what problem they want to solve.

And they're pushed into believing the only option is to spend £50k studying something they're not even sure they like.

Just So they can do it for 70 years. Working for someone else. Paying off the debt it took to get there.

It's backwards.

I've conducted one of the world's largest surveys asking people...

"What's your dream?"

And when I ask students why they're studying what they're studying…

I hear the same things:

"My parents wanted me to." or "That's where the gap in the market is."

Very rarely have I heard:

"Because this is my dream."

At 18-21, you'll never have a better opportunity to go for it. But people are taught it's not even an option.

So here's what I'm doing.

I'm speaking to students and asking about their real dream. And if they want to drop out and pursue it...

I'll invest in them.

But I won't ask for the money back. I won't ask for interest. Because if university isn't the right path for you…

Debt, doubt, and disappointment shouldn't be either.

Your dream is worth more than a degree.

Full documentary out soon.

When I die, my son won’t get a penny.

Not because I don’t love him.

But because I do.

Instead of plaguing him with success he didn’t earn…

I want to help him build his own, by giving him something far more valuable than money.

Wisdom.

We all know kids who inherit wealth don’t value it the same way as those who earn it.

Everyone talks about generational wealth, but what about generational wisdom?

Money has limits. But knowledge? Knowledge creates unlimited opportunity.

And more importantly, it gives you purpose.

I’m glad I wasn’t born rich.

Because if I was, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

It’s my job as a father to make sure my son learns those same lessons.

That’s partly why I wrote my book, so that when he needs guidance, he has access to everything I’ve learned.

The same lessons that took me from homeless to financially free.

Because kids don’t do what you say. They do what you do.

And I know Aidan will walk his own path, chasing his purpose just as I did.

That’s the greatest inheritance I could ever give him.

And this knowledge isn’t just for him.

It’s for anyone who wants to build their own success, find their purpose, and create a life on their own terms.

You can inherit that knowledge too through this link - https://amzn.to/492xbgg

Biggest achievement of my life so far? Making millions? No!

It’s my son is so proud of me. 

This is an important thing to learn…

Kids don’t do what you say, they do what you do. 

So? Don’t give up on your dreams to help them. 

If you do they will copy you later. 

Instead; take risk. Give without take. Invest in others. Invest in yourself. Take risk. Show them, don’t tell them.

Never limit yourself and yet expect your kids to believe anything is possible.

Don’t blame them for why you don’t follow your dreams.

Promise me LinkedIn friend’s?

Never do ANYTHING, half hearted.

I was once in Hong Kong having dinner at the peak.

But my waiter was clearly not happy to be serving me.

He was putting in minimal effort and had a bad demeanour.

So I asked him why?

He said “I shouldn’t be a waiter, I don’t like it”

And I told him that the week before, in the EXACT same restaurant I had hired someone to work in my creative agency.

For doing the EXACT same job but just with more enthusiasm.

Talent gets spotted.

So whatever you do, give it your all.

If you aren’t happy or enjoying what you do then don’t do it at all.

Because if you put your energy and love into something, you will be rewarded.

You never know who’s watching.

The same thing happened with Azalea.

Her enthusiasm and energy was infectious.

So I decided to give her $10,000 with Ahmed Ben Chaibah  

Whatever you do, give it your all…

And the best way to do that consistently, is by doing what you love.

There is no work life balance!

They (sometimes the LinkedIn police) want you to think there is so you go do a crappy 9-5 you hate for a good title and a weekend off sometimes.

Don’t let anyone trick you into thinking it’s a good idea to separate work and life.

It causes stress you don’t need!

There is just life. 

Some days you will do nothing but work and other times you might have a bath. Most days you can do both. Get your family involved in your work. Make it your hobby.

I am live on tiktok right now to prove you can relax and work at the same time! Come say hi!

Simon Squibb says there is no work life balance. Just life! What’s your dream?

The journey looks lonely.

It's not the path your parents took. It's not what your friends are doing...

And it's DEFINITELY not what school prepared you for.

It comes with uncertainty. Some days you wake up and just wing it.

But once you realise the alternative…

Spending 40 years waking up, repeating the same day, living a life you know isn't your purpose…

You realise it's not uncertainty, but it's actually freedom.

Freedom to choose what you do. Every single day.

You also learn that the path which seemed so lonely...

Isn't.

And there are millions out there prepared to help you along the way.

So be the penguin. Even if it feels unrealistic. Even if no one else is doing it.

Ignore them. And chase your purpose.

This is wrong on so many levels.

This bus driver is a hero.

He left his bus to save a woman from being mugged. He should be praised for his bravery.

But instead…. he got fired for it.

He had his income. His purpose and his means to survive ripped from him…

All for helping someone.

I'd give this bus driver a job in a heartbeat.

But honestly, I'd rather see him start his own thing. So he never has to deal with this kind of nonsense again.

If you don't own the company, they can get rid of you at any time.

Start your own business in 2026. That way you can help people without being punished.

I gave away £7k yesterday and £2k today. 

Helped 6 dreamers in 24 hours thanks to you!

All with money I have got from my book sales.

It’s now at no.9 in the top 100 books on Amazon! And I just feel so grateful and feel the need to give back and say thank you for supporting this mission! THANK YOU! 

We are going to see so many new dreams happen this year. 2026 is going to be HUGE for those who dream the impossible dream!

2025 was the biggest year of my life.

But we’re only 11 days into 2026…

And it might already be bigger.

- Today, my paperback hit #1 on the Sunday Times

- Yesterday, I collabed with a huge name (TBC… any guesses?)

- The day before, I partnered with MrBeast  and agreed to fund 1,000 dreams.

That’ll cost at least $1,000,000 and I’ve already given away £50,000+ in 2026.

And I’m launching a new business that will also fund thousands more.

This year will be huge.

For me. For the mission. For the entire community that supports me.

I’ve been building this moment for 5 years.

If you want to build a business that gives you freedom to go big…

Start RIGHT now.

In 5 years time you could be celebrating a year you only ever dreamt of.

You can grab my book to see how I did it through this link - https://amzn.to/492xbgg

This was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

It was also the proudest I’ve ever been.

The paperback edition of What’s Your Dream? is now officially available.

It’s currently just £5.49 and you can get it now through this link - https://amzn.to/492xbgg
