Two years ago, I started writing the book I wish I had when I was 18. 

Growing up I had big dream but also bigger doubts.

→ I didn’t know how to start. I didn’t know who to call,
→ I didn’t know if I was even capable.

That’s why I wrote 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶?.

Eleven chapters, each one a cheat code. Things like

→ How to build a network from nothing.
→ How to stop living by other people’s scorecards.
→ How to take action before you feel ready.

These are the same cheat codes that took me from being an anxious, self doubting, self hating kid in South London… 

...to building and selling a company for tens of millions, and now running a portfolio that does £47 million a year.

I wrote this book for one reason: to help you get out of your own way.

What’s Stopping You is available to pre-order now. And I’d be grateful if you did.

Everything I wish I knew when I started.

I Asked 11 Millionaires For Their Best Advice

Join My Book Launch For FREE On January 10th In My Featured Section ⬇️

POV: you went from 0 to 300,000 followers in 3 years

3 years ago, Lara hit rock bottom.

Tears rolling down her face.
Hundreds of job rejections.
Zero audience.

She told me about looking in the mirror that night, wondering if all her hard work meant anything.

Sure, now she's the #1 female creator on LinkedIn worldwide...

But here’s what most people don't know:

- She was an immigrant kid who left Mexico at 15.
- She got rejected from (nearly) every single job she applied to.
- She tried and failed freelancing, dropshipping, and fitness influencing.

Nothing worked.

Then she realised why nothing was working: She was trying to be someone else, following other people's playbooks.

So after getting rejected for the hundredth time, she decided to do things differently:

She started posting on LinkedIn.

Her first post went VIRAL.

Now…

→ She’s built a 7-figure business
→ She’s the first millionaire in her family
→ Gained over 300,000 followers in 3 years

This is what I find most inspiring about her:

She had everything in the world against her. Immigrant, lack of money, depression, you name it.

And she still CAME OUT ON TOP.

You don't need perfect conditions to win.

You need to start with what you have, where you are, even when everything's against you.

Because champions aren't made by circumstances. They're made by choices.

Lara had every excuse to quit.
She won anyway.

Today's my turn to celebrate her, loudly.

Because If Lara taught me anything, it's this:
Rock bottom is where champions are born.

Lara will be speaking at the live book launch on January 10th, because she didn’t let anything stop her.

If you're done with excuses, you need to join this live event.

→ Learn directly from Lara
→ Get a copy of my new book
→ Pitch your business for a chance to win £10,000 in investment

I have ADHD and OCD.

This cheatcode is how I built an 8-figure business anyway.

4 years ago, ADHD diagnosis. 3 years ago, OCD joined the party.

I call it my "spicy brain."

During Fanbytes (and even now), I'd get excited about everything. Start 10 projects before finishing one.

What made it easier wasn't any productivity hack.

It was being intentional about surrounding myself with people who could cool me down.

I had to be vulnerable and say: "This is what's going on in my brain. I need your support."

Help me not start 10 different things at once.
Help me see things through.
Help me finish projects.

As the CEO, the "big founder," this felt wrong. I was supposed to have it together. But being open about what I needed was the best thing I ever did.

Because the biggest misconception about ADHD and OCD is that you have to handle it alone.

You don't.

I actively sought out people who could:

See things through when I got distracted
Help me actually finish what I started
Ground me when I got too excited

While everyone's trying to fix their ADHD brain solo, I built a support system around mine.

The real cheatcode for neurodivergent founders: Stop pretending you can do it alone. Start asking for the support you need.

Your brain doesn't need fixing. It needs the right people around it.


P.S. Ever struggled with mental health?

Waiting for validation is the most expensive mistake you'll make.

I learned this the hard way.

When I started FanBytes at 21, practically everyone around me doubted me.

"Influencer marketing? That's not a real business."
"You're too young to run a company."
"This won't scale past uni."

My own relatives told me to get a proper job. Clients we wanted to sign wouldn't return my emails. Prospects laughed us out of meetings.

Basically we were just three kids from uni trying to convince Nike to trust us…

And I just kept waiting for someone credible to say we were onto something.

That validation never came, so we just kept building.

6 years later - we sold for 8-figures.

After the same, those exact same people who didn’t believe in us told everyone they “always knew” we’d make it. Relatives brag about my exit at family dinners. People in the industry suddenly wanted coffee meetings.

It’s wild how success rewrites everyone's memory.

But waiting for their approval would've killed us.

The gap between doubt and belief isn't time.
It's evidence.

Build the evidence.

And one day they'll pretend they believed in you the whole time.

You won't care. You'll be too busy building the next thing they don't understand yet.

The riskiest chance you'll ever take?

The one you don't take.

Everyone obsesses over why they can’t do something:

→ "What if I fail?"
→ "What if I lose money?"
→ "What if people judge me?"

But nobody talks about the cost of doing nothing.

Every time you choose safety over possibility, you're voting for a smaller version of yourself.

You're not just avoiding risk. You're also becoming someone who avoids risk…

These are the real questions you need to ask:

→ What if it works and I never tried?
→ What if I'm ready right now?
→ What if regret costs more than failure ever could?

Your future self isn't waiting for you to be ready.

They're waiting for you to be brave.

You thought that dreaming small was keeping you safe. But let me tell you this, it’s the most expensive choice you’ll ever make.

So you only have 2 options:

Take the risk now.
Or pay the price of regret.

My English teacher saved my life with 15 words.

I was 13, inches from being stabbed to death.

Picture this: City of London Academy, Southwark. School sits right on the border of three gang territories - Old Kent Road, Peckham, Brixton.

I'd just moved from Ghana to dad's council estate. He's always working, I'm always alone. So I start finding that sense of family with the Old Kent Road crew.

Telling myself this is what brotherhood means. What belonging feels like.

Week before, I'm playing football in the Avondale Square cage. Someone shouts "Peckham boys!"

We scatter.
Run.

One of them catches up to me with a knife and swings it across my abdomen.

The knife misses me by inches.

My mate wasn't so lucky, he got stabbed at McDonald's. A week later he came back to school with this ugly scar all the way up his right side.

Honestly, he was lucky to be alive.

Mad thing is - during the week at school, kids from all three gangs get along.

But on weekends, we were mortal enemies.

Miss Sobaki saw what was happening to me. She pulled me aside one day:
"Timothy, you realise you're a smart guy, right? This bad man stuff, it's not for you."

Those words changed my life.

She changed the way I thought about myself. My whole desire to be a bad man just... started to disappear.

Those 15 words took me from climbing council estate stairwells thinking "I don't belong here" to Forbes 30 under 30. From almost joining a gang about to "ride out" to selling my company for 8 figures.

Teachers don't get paid enough.

Miss Sobaki probably doesn't even remember saying it. She just saw a smart kid heading down the wrong path.

But sometimes that's all you need: one person who sees you differently than you see yourself.

I'll always be grateful to Miss Sobaki.

She helped me tell myself a different story.

P.S. Picture below was from my visit to my old school a few weeks ago, talked with a few of the students.

POV: Your mic cuts out mid-TED Talk in Uganda.

800 people staring at you.

Last week, I was giving this talk about overcoming obstacles (ironic, right?) when the audio just dies. Tech team's scrambling around, giving me the "5 minutes to fix" signal.

Now I've got a choice.

I can either stand there awkwardly while everyone checks their phones, or turn this into a chance to re-energise the room.

"Alright, we've got 5 minutes. Everyone up!"

Next thing, the whole room's on their feet. I love doing this. I love getting everyone to shout and jump.

I also spotted a woman in the back who wanted to pitch her business idea.

By the time my mic comes back, nobody even cares about the technical stuff anymore. We're all just buzzing from what just happened.

Perfect delivery isn't the point of speaking. 

It's about reading the room and working with what you've got.

So, next time something goes wrong, do this:

1️⃣ When something breaks, don't wait for someone else to fix it.

You're responsible for your own life and your own success. Take relentless action to get the best outcome possible.

2️⃣ Don't be afraid to give others the spotlight.

People remember how you made them FEEL. Make them feel like the smartest people in the room.

3️⃣ Your response to failure defines the outcome

In every failure, you have the choice: panic, or pivot. 


The moment when things go wrong can be a massive opportunity to get an even better outcome.


P.S. When was the last time you turned a disaster into a win?

Stop reading random business books.

These 5 will give you an unfair advantage.

You don’t actually have a reading problem (even though you have 100s of books on your shelf that you haven’t read yet), you have an implementation problem.

It doesn’t matter how much you read, it matters how much you implement.

This is a list of the best books I’ve ever read.

In my experience, there are two types of entrepreneurs:

1. The ones who read everything, and stay stuck.
2. The ones who go deep on a few books, and build real companies.

The first group gets smarter.
The second group gets rich.

Be the second.

Your next breakthrough probably isn’t a new book. It’s doing the thing you already highlighted and forgot.

And if you do need a new book to read…

These are my recommendations 👇

If You Liked These Books, You'l Love These

You don't rise to your goals.

You fall to your environment.

I grew up on Old Kent Road council estate in South London, where most kids had their ambition beaten out of them before they turned 15.

Then I got a bursary to Christ's Hospital School.

Walking onto those grounds for the first time was wild.

Rugby fields bigger than my entire council estate.
Buildings older than my whole neighbourhood.
Kids casually chatting about ski trips.

I remember standing there, and I thought “There's absolutely no way I can be in this place and stay the same person I was yesterday.”

And that was exactly why I chose it.

Not for the education.

But because I needed to completely change my environment if I wanted a different life.

When you're suddenly surrounded by kids whose parents work in boardrooms instead of building sites, your brain starts working differently.
It changes EVERYTHING…

People always ask me how I went from council estate to selling my company for 8-figures.

It wasn't about working harder.
I just refused to stay in the environment that was keeping me small.

Most people try to build something massive while staying exactly where they are, surrounded by the same people who think their dreams are unrealistic.

That's like trying to get fit while living in McDonald's.

If you actually want different results, you need to physically put yourself in different surroundings.

Your environment is either lifting you up or weighing you down.

There's no middle ground.

These 16 Controversial Truths Will Make You Rich

Most people think they need the perfect job to build the perfect life.

The smart ones build what nobody can take away.

Let's be really clear about something.

You're not behind.
You're just building the wrong things.

Truth is: You're investing in stuff that disappears.

→ Job titles vanish in restructures. 
→ Company perks end with layoffs. 
→ Someone else's dream was never yours.

I've watched people lose everything except the character they built inside themselves.
They always come back stronger.

Build yourself.

I built an 8-figure business.

But before that, I was told 13 times to give up.

This was an email I got in the 1st year of building Fanbytes. He was the 4th person to reject me, and the first person to tell me to give up.

At that point, I had two choices:

1. Walk away.
2. Or double down.

I bet on us.

Six years later, we’d built a team of 80, and generated tens of millions in revenue.

And that “small lifestyle business” grew beyond anything they predicted. 

Now - I exited that same company for multiple 8-figures, I'm an investor, and I wrote a book with all the cheatcodes I wish I knew when I was young.

If that investor had backed us, he would’ve made 54x his money.

But here’s the truth:
Rejection only sticks if you let it.

This is the cheatcode how to turn a “no” into an advantage:

1. Don’t take it personally.
Rejection is information. Use it.

2. Don’t argue.
Prove it. Quiet wins speak louder.

3. Don’t wait for validation.
Back yourself. Make it impossible to miss.

If you’re getting told no right now… keep moving.

Being underestimated is a GIFT.

Go out and use it.

Hot take: Not everyone should have a personal brand.

(read this to get promoted in 2026)

You don’t need a large following, but you do need to be known for SOMETHING.

Here’s the truth: having 10k followers won't get you promoted, but being the AI expert at your company will.

What so many people get wrong is this…

Personal brand isn't posting on LinkedIn.
It's being the person people call when shit breaks.

Pick one gap at your company and learn it for 30 days until you own it completely.

No followers needed.
No content calendar.
Just competence.

And competence gets you opportunities.

While everyone's building their "brand," someone just learned how to train an AI and got promoted.

Be that person.

I wish I knew these lessons 15 years ago.

These visuals are from my new book What’s Stopping You?. Pre-order your copy to unlock the life you want: https://lnkd.in/eAdyFm2p

1. Small daily wins lead to big wins
↳ It’s not always the big leaps that change things
↳ The little daily wins stack up faster than you think

2. Do it scared
↳ You won’t always feel ready, and that’s fine
↳ Courage just doing it anyway without knowing whether it’ll work out

Original ideas are often the children of existing ideas
↳ Most great ideas are borrowed, then tweaked
↳ Take what’s out there, make it yours

Create your own luck
↳ Things start happening when you put yourself out there
↳ Luck’s just what shows up when you keep showing up

Take advice only from people living the life you want
↳ People love to give opinions, but most don’t walk the walk
↳ Only listen if they’ve built something you’d actually want

Split tasks in smaller pieces
↳ Big goals feel heavy when you try to do them all at once
↳ Break your big tasks into tiny steps, then just do the next bit

Be a person of value
↳ Doors open quicker for people who show up with something useful
↳ Help first, ask later. It pays off

It’s not that deep
↳ Most things aren’t worth the overthinking
↳ Take a breath, zoom out, and crack on

Keep making progress
↳ You don’t need to sprint, you just need to keep moving
↳ A little progress beats standing still every time

Make asymmetric bets
↳ Some things don’t cost much but could change EVERYTHING
↳ Place more of those bets. You only need one to land.

10 Visuals That Will Change Your Life

There are only 2 types of entrepreneurs starting out:

1. The ones hooked on validation - stuck at £2k months
2. The ones who build simple systems - hitting £10k months

The first group:

- Refresh LinkedIn like it’s a slot machine
- Ask 20 people if their idea’s “good”
- Charge £500 when they know it should be £2k
- Post for praise, then forget to sell

The builders:

- Post at 8am, book calls, start selling
- Launch before it’s pretty
- Raise prices every 3 clients
- Track revenue, not reactions

One group’s still tweaking their logo.
The other just signed client number five.

Not because they’re smarter.
Because they stopped waiting.

The top 1% didn’t ask for permission.
They just built systems that quietly print cash, while everyone else debates what business to start.
It’s the unflashy stuff that gets results:

Cold outreach
Weekly check-ins
Monthly price bumps

Unsexy as hell.
But it works.

Your first £10k month isn't about being ready.
It's about starting before you are.

Skip the dopamine hit.
Send the invoice.

I was playing football with people who could’ve been doctors, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs.

But because of where we lived, most of them got influenced to do things they never wanted to.

Imagine this…

You pass the ball to “Josh”.

Josh could’ve been a doctor.

Instead, he got caught up in gang life and went to jail three times before he was 28.
You get the ball back.

Pass it to “Ola”.

Ola could’ve been a lawyer.

He got stabbed and died at 23…

Two people.
Two different paths.

All because of where they grew up.
All because of the decisions they made.

That’s why when I tell the mandem, take this serious.

This isn’t a joke.

Getting out of the ends isn’t “maybe one day.”

It’s not “at some point.”
It has to be your only focus.

Get. Out.

Because when you do…

You’ll realise how much effort, discipline, and focus it actually takes to make it happen.

And when you look back, you’ll say:

Yeah man… it was worth it.


📙 When I was 14, I almost got involved in the mandem.

A gangster saved my life.

“Hey bro, this isn’t for you…”

His words set me on the path to exit my business for 8-figures at 27.

I wrote about it in my new book What’s Stopping You?.

To launch it, I’m hosting a live event on January 10th with 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗔𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮, 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗯𝗯, 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘆, 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗧𝗶𝗺 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗞𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, and 𝗡𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘆.

These businesses will never trend on Twitter.

But they make more than 99% of start-ups.

Everyone's chasing the next AI startup while plumbers are quietly banking £2M a year.
These businesses are insane, and often overlooked.

The pattern is obvious:

- Local service roll-ups
- Boring B2B software
- Unsexy recurring revenue
- Infrastructure nobody thinks about

Steal these business ideas before everyone else catches on. 👇


P.S. If you have a business and you’re thinking of selling in the next 6-24 months, I’ve got something for you. At DealFlowAgent, we help you strategise the path to your exit to get you the best price possible. Send me a message if you want to know more.

These 7 Boring Businesses Make Stupid Money

Dumb founders chase the peak.
Smart ones sell the momentum.
(This is exactly how we sold Fanbytes)

Trying to sell at the very peak is actually the worst strategy. You’re getting tired, growth is plateauing, and your story that could sell the business slowly gets weaker.

Dumb founders = sell at the peak
Smart founders = sell around 70%

Here’s why you should sell around 70%:

→ Revenue is climbing
→ The team is motivated
→ The buyer sees potential

Because when you exit, you’re not selling a business that’s done.

You’re selling the opportunity for someone else to take what you’ve built and grow it even bigger.

They’re asking:

“Is this business still growing?”
“Can we plug this into our own business to make scale it faster?”
“Will this make us more money in less time than building it ourselves?”

If the answer to these 3 questions is yes…

You’re so likely to get a deal.

Would you ever sell your business?


P.S. At DealFlowAgent, we help business owners find the right buyer for their business. If you’re looking to sell in the next 6-24 months, DM me “EXIT” for more info.

Founders - Don't Make This Mistake

I wish I knew these 11 cheatcodes at 18.

(no one teaches these in school)

Would've saved me years of mistakes. Years of doing things the hard way. Years of listening to people who'd never actually done it.

Your teachers don't know this stuff.
Your parents' advice is from outdated.
And gurus just want your money.

Meanwhile, the people actually winning know these shortcuts:

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 1: 𝗪𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗪𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗢𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀
If you tell yourself you're sh*t at sales, you'll be shit at sales. Tell yourself you're unstoppable - watch what happens.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 2: 𝗜𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿
You don't know what's "impossible" yet. So you try it anyway. And sometimes it works.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 3: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗧𝗼 𝗪𝗶𝗻 Stop doing 100 things badly. Do 3 things that actually move the needle. The rest is just busy work.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 4: 𝗗𝗼 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 Just send that cold email. Increase your prices. Do the hard thing. Fear doesn't go away, you just get used to acting despite it.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 5: 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 Find what's working, then copy it. Make it 10% better or different. That's it. Stop trying to reinvent everything.

I used these to build Fanbytes.

Sold it for 8-figures.

While everyone else was still asking if their logo looked professional enough.

P.S. Which one are you avoiding right now?

These 11 Cheatcodes Made Me Rich At 27

As 2025 comes to a close, it’s easy to look at the goals you didn’t hit.

And you feel stuck…

But most progress doesn’t look like giant leaps, it looks like small wins stacked over time.

One corner at a time.
One brick at a time.

Momentum, not magic.

If the task still feels too big, start smaller.
The important thing is that you start.

This is your reminder: Small moves count, they compound.

And they’re how everything big gets built.

What’s one small thing you did this year that made a big difference?


P.S. This is an illustration from my book What’s Stopping You? It contains the 11 cheatcodes to unlock the life you want.

If you like this illustration, I’m 100% sure you’ll love the book. We’re hosting a live event on January 10th - get your free ticket (and a ton of pre-order bonuses!) here: https://lnkd.in/eAdyFm2p
