New Year remorse is real.

The alarm goes off.
You feel tired.
You want to stay in bed.
It’s cold outside.
And the day ahead fills you with dread.

That’s exactly how I used to feel.

Commuting into London.
On the train by 6am.
At the office by 8:30am.
Staying three nights a week in a hotel, getting back late on Thursday—exhausted.
Then telling myself, “Just one more day to go.”

That’s not living.
That’s existing.

I enjoyed it for a while… until it took its toll.
Constant packing. Never really being at home.
And it’s fine—until it isn’t.

So I started changing things.

I spoke on more stages. I loved it.
Then travel crept back in again.
And I learned this truth: too much of anything becomes monotonous—even the things you once dreamed of.

I wrote a book.
I hosted my own speaking events—100 guests in London and Manchester, every other month.
It was fun. Truly.

But after 10 years, something had to give.

I wanted to choose a different way of thinking, feeling, and living.
I knew it wouldn’t happen overnight—but every single day I changed one thing that moved me closer.

Closer to balance.
Closer to depth.
Closer to working inside founders’ businesses—helping them scale, overcome success barriers, rewire the subconscious, and build health, wealth, and happiness as true CEOs.

If 2026 doesn’t light you up yet—there’s time.
A lot can change in a day.
A week.
A month.
A year.

When I finally made the decision to change, I started my third business—and hit 7 figures in 7 months.
The best decision I ever made.

I kept my other two businesses too—just stepped away from the day-to-day.
And since then? I’ve started two more.
Five in total.

So hear this:

Don’t wait.
You only live once.
It’s your time.
Make your dream a reality.

I might not have all the answers—but I’ve scaled my own businesses and 20,000+ others over the past 25 years.

If this feels like your year, message me.
Let’s chat.

🔥 2026: The Year of the Fire Horse

Momentum. Independence. Bold Expansion.

If 2025 was about shedding skins and refining your edge, 2026 is about movement.

The Fire Horse doesn’t wait.

It doesn’t overthink.

And it definitely doesn’t play small.

This is the year where speed beats perfection and courage beats comfort.

The Fire Horse energy is unapologetically bold:

🔥 Fast decisions
🔥 Fierce independence
🔥 Vision-led action
🔥 Leadership that cannot be contained

But here’s the truth most people miss…

This year will reward aligned momentum and punish chaos.

If your nervous system is dysregulated, 

if your business model isn’t clean

if your identity hasn’t caught up to your ambition

The Fire Horse will feel overwhelming.

But if you’ve done the inner work?

If your strategy matches your capacity?

If you trust yourself to lead?

2026 becomes a breakout year.

What the Fire Horse asks of you:

🐎 Move before you feel ready

Waiting for certainty is the fastest way to miss the window.

Lead from instinct, not noise

Too many opinions dilute momentum. This year rewards clarity.

Build for freedom, not approval

People-pleasing kills speed. 

The Fire Horse values autonomy.

Regulate before you accelerate

Power without regulation becomes burnout. Nervous system first.

Choose expansion over safety

Comfort zones will feel suffocating in 2026.

Fire Horse CEOs will win by:

✔ Scaling with speed and precision
✔ Making bold investments in visibility, leadership, and leverage
✔ Letting go of roles, identities, and structures that slow them down
✔ Trusting their intuition as much as their data

This is not a year for:

❌ Playing small
❌ Over-planning
❌ Waiting for permission
❌ Building businesses that trap you

🔥 2026 doesn’t ask: “Are you ready?”

It asks: “Are you willing to lead?”

Because the Fire Horse doesn’t follow paths.

It creates them.

If this resonated, it wasn’t by accident.

I’m opening very limited private mentorship spaces for female founders ready to make £100K+ months the standard.

No funnels. No fluff. Just results.

Private message me the word ‘MENTOR’ for details…

What nobody tells you about scaling…

It’s messy.
It’s chaotic.

And no one — no one — started with perfect systems and processes.

They come after the cash, not before it.

Don’t get swept up in everyone else’s advice.

Stay true to your goal.
Say no to everything that isn’t a direct line to it.

You don’t need to scale conventionally. 
But you do need to do the bloody work! 

And it doesn’t take years to hit 7 figures — if you’re learning from someone who’s actually done it.

Let’s be honest:
In January, everyone became a mentor or coach.

But have they achieved what you want?

Are they even qualified to guide you there?

Not every bell and whistle is required.

You can sell without a sales page.

You can grow without perfection.

Perfection is just procrastination in a prettier outfit.

Tip the balance. Do it anyway.
You’ll pull it together as you move.

If it doesn’t feel right — trust your gut.

Your strategy must feel aligned, or you’ll sabotage it subconsciously.

£100K months are a reality for many.
Those who mock it or tear it down aren’t “protecting” you —
they’re projecting scarcity.

That’s sabotage, not salvation.

This might trigger traditional beliefs.
But truth often does.

And remember this:
Growth is rarely comfortable.

But if you’re willing to stretch…
limitless success is available to you.

Save this post and remember everyone started at zero…but your goal is closer than you think!

Barbados Visionary Reset
16–21 March

In the Caribbean, where Barbados sits between calm turquoise waters and endless sky, something powerful happens.

Your nervous system softens.
Your mind slows.

And the invisible guest you’ve been carrying everywhere… finally loosens its grip.

As founders, our minds are always on.

Planning. 
Fixing. 
Forecasting.

That invisible mental load is exhausting and it keeps your vision small, tight, reactive.

This retreat is the opposite.

You don’t come to Barbados to escape your business.

You come to expand it.

To walk into expansive thinking.

To plan a year of growth like never before.

To map £100K months and beyond from a place of clarity, calm, and certainty.

Days of strategy, alignment, and future vision.

Evenings of Caribbean sunsets, deep conversations, laughter, and perspective.

All spent with female founders who are already playing at the next level the kind of rooms that change everything.

This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a visionary reset.

And for many women, it becomes a life-changing turning point.

Comment or DM me the word BARBADOS and I’ll send you the details

If you know it’s time to think bigger, plan smarter, and step into your next level —
the Caribbean is calling. 🌴

I don’t build 5-year plans.

Not because I lack vision —
but because vision without momentum is just imagination.

I visualise the year I’m becoming —
the identity, the energy, the revenue, the lifestyle.

Then I bring it back to 90-day growth cycles:
• One clear revenue focus
• One aligned strategy
• One identity upgrade
• One set of actions that actually move the needle

Five-year plans feel safe.
90-day plans create results.

This is how you scale without burnout.

This is how you stay agile, focused, and in momentum.

This is how £100K months are built — one powerful quarter at a time.

If you’re still planning 5 years ahead but not executing this quarter…that’s your sign.

Message me “PLAN” and I’ll show you how to build your next 90-day growth plan like a CEO — not a dreamer.

THE JANUARY GROWTH TRAP (and how real CEOs move through it)

January starts loud.
Big goals. Fresh notebooks. 
New offers.
Momentum feels unstoppable.

And then… week 3 hits.

Sales slow.
Enquiries stall.
Energy dips.
Doubt creeps in.

Here’s the truth most founders miss 
Your offer didn’t fail. 
The timing shifted.

January cash flow is tight for many businesses.
Invoices are still being chased from Christmas.
Decision-making is slower.
People are warming up not buying at speed yet.

This is a stage of growth, not a signal to panic.

What matters now is how you respond 

Shift from hype to clarity
Look at how to increase customer base
Improve average order value
Increase purchase frequency

Get ruthless with your numbers
What do you need to sell per day to hit your goal?
Reverse-engineer your monthly target
Sense-check your fees against your true hourly rate

See profit daily
Not just in accounting software.
In a simple spreadsheet where you can feel the maths.

Refine, don’t reinvent
Sharpen your offer
Upgrade messaging from interesting to desirable
Focus on actions that directly lead to sales or savings

Delegate & declutter
If it doesn’t move you closer to your goal, it’s noise.

And the biggest mistake I see?

🚫 Expecting to sell without connection.
Content alone isn’t enough.
Growth requires two-way conversations — real human interaction with your ideal client.

Because if cash is the goal, then be honest: Everything else is fluff and vanity.

Real growth is focus.
Alignment.
Daily selling + saving.
Looking after the clients you already have.

Ditch the endless ideas.
Create cash content.
Nurture relationships.
And lead your business like a CEO not a content creator chasing dopamine.

This stage is normal.
How you handle it determines everything. 

If £100K months are the goal — not vanity metrics or busywork, but real profit and momentum — this is your next move.

Message me MONEY to learn how to:

• Create consistent £100K months
• Align strategy, mindset & messaging
• Focus on daily cash-creating actions
• Scale like a CEO without burnout or fluff

This is about clean growth, confident selling, and wealth that supports your life.
