I'm genuinely amazed at how many people can't read other people in 2026. Especially when it comes to sales. They confuse healthy scepticism with covert hostility. And worse, they mistake hostility for buying interest. Here's the difference. Healthy scepticism sounds like: "How exactly would that work?" "Have you done this for anyone in my industry?" "What happens if it doesn't work?" "Where's the catch?" "Why should I believe those results?" These people are questioning your OFFER. They're trying to establish whether what you're saying is true. That's good. I love sceptical buyers. Covert hostility sounds like: "Let me guess, another guru promising the world." "Sure, send it over. But if it's AI-generated rubbish, don't expect a response." "Do you actually know what you're talking about?" "Must be nice making money selling people dreams." "Sounds like you've got it all figured out, haven't you?" These people aren't asking questions. They're taking little swipes at YOU. And what amazes me is how salespeople respond. They become MORE helpful. They explain themselves. Apologise. Offer to record personalised videos. Work twice as hard to prove they're legitimate. You're literally rewarding passive aggression. Makes me wonder whether some people have become so accustomed to seeking approval from difficult people that they don't even recognise when someone's being hostile towards them. Here's my boundary. You can question my offer. Challenge my claims. Tell me you don't believe my results. I'll happily have that conversation. But I'm not going to defend my competence against sarcastic little digs or do extra work to earn your approval. If you want to discuss the opportunity, great. If you want someone to argue with, find someone else. Healthy scepticism deserves curiosity. Covert hostility deserves a boundary. And a reply to your email doesn't automatically mean someone's interested in buying. Sometimes they're just looking for someone to kick.

One of the wildest things about working with coaches is how often they come to me struggling with the EXACT thing they help other people overcome. I'll give you a few examples. I've met mindset coaches who are absolutely terrified of putting themselves out there, being rejected or hearing the word NO. I've met business coaches who teach people how to get clients, yet haven't signed a NEW client themselves in weeks, sometimes months. And I've met coaches who help burned-out executives reclaim their lives, yet they're so stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed that they can barely keep their own heads above water. This is WILD to me. Because here's the thing... Coaching is leadership. And leadership isn't about knowing all the answers, having a fancy certification or being able to tell someone else what they should do. It's about being willing to go first. Taking the risks you're asking other people to take. Having the uncomfortable conversations you're telling your clients to have. Doing the things that scare the living shit out of you, rather than finding another excuse to avoid them. Now, I'm not saying coaches have to have perfect lives. Far from it. But if you're telling someone to get comfortable with rejection while you're too frightened to send a DM... Or teaching people how to get clients while avoiding selling your own services... There's a HUGE disconnect. And I reckon people can feel it. You don't need another framework, funnel, certification or mindset exercise. You probably already know exactly what you need to do. In fact, if ONE of your clients came to you with the same problem, you'd know precisely what to tell them. So here's a thought. For once, take your own bloody advice.

I think most qualified prospects walk away from high-ticket offers for ONE reason: They trust you. They trust your process. The sale stalls because they do NOT trust themselves to do the work. Whenever you sell consulting, coaching, or high-ticket info, every buyer has to clear 3 levels of trust: 1. They trust YOU. 2. They trust your PROCESS. 3. They trust THEMSELVES to actually do the work and get the result. Most established operators have 1 and 2 nailed down with case studies and client receipts. Level 3 is where the sale quietly bleeds out. The buyer has bought courses before that gathered dust on a hard drive. They have kids, a busy business, and a quiet fear of looking stupid. Deep down, they suspect they will fail again. If you try to give them a motivational pep talk or dump another portal login on their desk, you lose the deal. Make it ridiculously easy for them by selling implementation. I run this as a 4-session progressive transfer of competence: Session 1: I drive and teach while you watch. I take over their inbox on Zoom using remote access and send the messages live. Session 2: I drive and they help. I steer the keyboard while they feed in ideas and responses. Session 3: They drive and I help. They type and send every reply while I watch their screen and give real-time feedback. Session 4: They drive and they teach. They run the entire workflow and explain the logic behind every decision back to me. By session four, that internal panic is gone. They have physical proof they can do it. Because I remove the friction upfront, I charge 2.5X to 3X what I would charge for pure information. And more often than not, they book calls or close deals while we are still sitting on the Zoom.

I refuse to post about a business mistake until the fix is already working. If your inbox is full of complaint emails, close the draft window and fix the leak. Once the system works and the cash clears... THEN share the breakdown. Buyers hire you for the fix.

I know coaches who will drop $10,000 on another certification without flinching. Then spend EXACTLY $0 learning how to start a sales conversation. Another badge for the profile feels safe... asking for the deal is where the panic sets in.

I refuse to convince anyone to hire me. I call it the conviction tax. If you have to talk someone into signing, you will have to push them to do the work EVERY single week of the engagement. Hard-closing is an amateur move. Dragging a reluctant client through 45 minutes of objection handling does not win a partner... it buys you a part-time job babysitting their anxiety. Stop chasing people who need to be persuaded. Demonstrate the outcome in public. Let them pull themselves into the conversation. The best clients wire the money and show up on Monday ready to execute.

Making an extra £500 a month should be celebrated. Starting a business, hiring your first employee, taking a real risk... Britain needs more people trying to get ahead, not another reason to sit back and think: "Why bother?"

I think modern marketing has turned into an excuse to avoid having an actual conversation. Blokes build nurture sequences, lead scoring models, tracking pixels, and conversion paths. Every marketer sounds like an accountant trying to sell joy from a spreadsheet. Then they wonder why NOBODY replies. Strip out the tech stack and talk to people who have an urgent problem. Business gets quiet... and very profitable.

In my late 20s and early 30s, I stayed in lower-tier markets because I thought moving upmarket just meant getting the balls to charge 5x more for the same deliverables. At $1,000, they're buying your time and scrutinizing every invoice. At $30,000, they're buying certainty and relief... they want someone to take COMPLETE responsibility for a headache they don't want to think about. Stop trying to charge more for the same service. Change the job you're doing.

I got really good at SEO and honestly it made me lazy. Traffic was NEVER a problem. If I wanted more money I could create more pages, rank for more stuff, make more offers and send more traffic at them. So email was kinda alien to me. I knew we should probably be doing more with it but why bother learning a whole new thing when I could just get another 100k people to the site? 😂 Then traffic bombed. And suddenly we were in trouble. Because what I'd never really appreciated was we were basically selling to the tiny % of people who landed on the site at the exact moment they wanted to buy. Everyone else just... left. So I had to get good at email. And that was the first big unlock for me. Because now I didn't need someone to be ready TODAY. I could get them onto an email list when they first became interested. Before they needed our solution. When they were researching. When they knew they wanted something but weren't sure what yet. Or when they were just at a completely different stage of consideration. Cool. But then I had another problem... How the hell do you move someone from reading an email to actually BUYING something? 😂 So I learned that. Then I wanted to sell bigger ticket things. Which gave me another problem. Now people weren't gonna click a button and casually drop $10k-$30k. So we needed webinars. Sales calls. Applications. Closers. Follow up. Blah blah blah. So I learned how to sell that way. Then after a while I got tired of THAT too 😂 I didn't want a sale to require a webinar or some 90 minute sales call every time. So I started wondering how expensive a thing I could sell just using email and a Google Doc. Turns out... pretty expensive. So I got good at that. Then I started wondering why I needed the fucking Google Doc 😂 So I learned how to sell bigger and bigger ticket things without that too. Just emails. Conversations. Offers. Then eventually I ran into another problem... I got tired of delivering the products and services 😂 And that's pretty much how I accidentally ended up with the business model I have now. I find people with big email lists who LOVE delivering what they do... but don't particularly love the sales and marketing bit. And I take that bit off their plate. Figure out what we can sell. Create the offer. Write the emails. Handle the conversations. Make the sales. Then I usually take 30-50% of the revenue we create. Which is kinda funny when I think about it. I didn't wake up and decide... "I'm going to become an email marketer." Every time I solved a problem I just found the next constraint 😂 First I learned how to get attention. Then how to keep it. Then how to sell to it. Then how to sell more expensive stuff. Then how to remove the calls. Then how to remove the funnel. Then eventually... how to remove myself from delivering the bloody thing. So now I basically sit in the bit between... "You've got a load of people who trust you." and... "Let's find something they really want to buy." Turns out that bit can be worth quite a lot of money 😂

I think there are two types of business owners. The first sees the market as somewhere to extract value from. They want more customers, more sales, more referrals, more attention, more effort from the team, more opens from the list, more money from everybody around them. Which is fine. That’s business. But then it becomes their turn to put something back in and suddenly they turn into a Victorian accountant guarding the family silver. Hire someone good? Too expensive. Run a test? Too risky. Pay for help? “I could probably figure it out myself.” Spend $1,000 on something that could plausibly make $10,000 or more? “Let me think about it.” Brother, you want strangers on the internet to give YOU $5,000 after three emails and a webinar, but you need a feasibility study, two references and approval from the IMF before spending $800 on your own business 😂 That’s the bit I find fascinating. Because some people don’t really invest in their business at all. They extract from it. They want the list to keep producing. The audience to keep buying. The team to keep caring. Partners to keep referring. Customers to keep trusting. But they rarely feed the machine. No new skills. No experiments. No better people. No new distribution. No systems. No calculated bets. Just withdraw, withdraw, withdraw. Then eventually the list “stops working”, the business gets harder, growth stalls and they wonder what happened. The second type thinks differently. They’re allocators. They don’t ask, “How do I make sure I never lose $1,000?” They ask, “What could $1,000 buy me here?” Speed? Skill? Access? Distribution? A better system? Someone smarter than me? Six months of mistakes I don’t have to make myself? That doesn’t mean they buy every shiny course some bloke in Dubai launches next Tuesday. That’s not investing. That’s just recreational gambling. But they understand that if you want a business to keep giving you more, at some point you have to keep putting things back into it. Money. Talent. Attention. Experiments. Relationships. Better ideas. The extractor asks, “How cheaply can I get this?” The allocator asks, “What could this become worth?” The extractor asks, “Can I do this myself?” The allocator asks, “Is doing this myself actually a good use of my time?” And maybe that’s a bigger difference than revenue, niche or business model. Some people own businesses. Some people actually invest in building them.

I’ve spent 15+ years publicly sharing what I’m doing, what I’m learning and what I believe. That visibility has led to jobs, clients, business partnerships and opportunities I could never have imagined. Don’t ignore it.
