In The Beginning

I went down a path of escapism, raving & drug abuse.
Using ecstasy, cannabis, alcohol & tablets to deal with emotions.
I had a lot of friends with similar habits & addictions.
Everyone was looking for an escape.

We were mixing tablets and alcohol on school nights,
disappearing to raves for days at a time & smoking weed till we were numb.

I once overdosed on a 100mg antipsychotic tablet and a bottle of cider, in the space of 20 mins, I’d pissed myself and collapsed. 

Later on, I was arrested for intent to supply ecstasy tablets
which was the biggest blessing in disguise.

My best friend’s uncle was doused with petrol and set on fire in broad daylight. I remember watching him roll around in a ball of flames, cars ignited and rolled down the street,
while my friend was screaming in my front garden that his uncle was on fire.

Raised on “the worst street in the UK” as dubbed by the BBC.

Most of my friends were either drug dealers or thugs.
Stealing from shops every day, cars, motorbikes, etc.
All we knew was the street code, and we resorted to it.

 Side-note – Life lesson at the bottom if you make it past my rambling. 

The Life-Changing Moment

My life completely changed after I was arrested
I had a court-imposed curfew for 9 months at 18.
I had to distance myself from everything I’d learned growing up.

My mum got the internet to convince me to stay in the house.
I stumbled upon people such as Robert Kiyosaki, Jim Rohn & Mark Hoverson.
Rich Dad Poor Dad, was my gateway into self-development.

Reading and studying as much as I could for the next 7 years.
Burning through 500+ self-development books
At my peak I read 144 in a single year, abusing my library card.
I bought every used book I could find on eBay or Amazon for less than £3.

Continuing to better myself I only took jobs to learn new skills, when it got easy I’d quit.
From sales to customer service and management. I had no idea what I wanted out of life,
I just knew these skills would benefit me later in business.

After countless failed businesses

A business partner and I got lucky.
We managed to gross just under 1.5 million in a single year

Coming out of a job where I was earning £700 a month.
(I wouldn’t work full time because I had so many books I wanted to finish)

At the peak, we were spending £5000+ on Facebook advertising per day.
All it took was a couple of winning products & a couple of winning ad sets.
We managed this all without internet, working from free library wi-fi. 

After managing 10 staff around the clock, I later quit that business.
I did advertising, marketing, customer service, and bookkeeping, I also trained & managed the staff. Money was coming in quickly but I knew I couldn’t last in such a stressful routine.
We grew too fast, we were understaffed & lived off takeaways. 

I pursued a reselling business to cover my expenses, thrift stores, eBay sniping & arbitrage.
Selling vintage clothing & pop culture collectables.

Running a reselling business part-time allowed me to focus on skills I wanted to develop.

The Next Pivotal Moment In My Life

I stumbled upon Martin Garrix he was 18 and had a home studio, it blew my mind.
I had no idea you could make music on a computer, I thought you needed a 40K studio.
I had a limiting belief that music was too expensive of a career to pursue (It’s not).

I spent the next 5 years devoted to honing my craft, making rave music.
Later I was mentored by one of my idols, a top UK techno producer. 

Over the next 5 years, I learned how to optimise my reselling business,
made hundreds of songs, read hundreds of books and got back into writing & design. 

And to answer my question of “why I started this site”

The Problem

The education system nurtures us into ignorance & slavery.
Food corporations manipulate us with chemicals that make us ill but craving more.
Medical companies want you to be sick and to become a regular visitor.
We’re told to pay into a pension for retirement, then its stolen through inflation

People aren’t aware of the “Matrix” thats designed to impose limitations on the mind & soul.
They aren’t aware of the many opportunities available, they haven’t yet learnt to see.

I’m nobody special, I’m standing on the shoulders of giants, regurgitating things I’ve learned along the way.

There aren’t enough influential figures in music that preach; wisdom, skills and excellence.
Especially in the rave scene that is riddled with drug abuse.

Too many people are stuck in loops of escapism.
Living for the weekend and despising the week.

What good is one night of escapism, having the time of their life,
then dealing with depression & drug abuse 6 days a week.

Artists make great music that helps us release the stresses of our day to day. But how many give a shit about you when you leave the rave

I don’t plan to tour. I plan to teach.
Music was my first love,
Learning was my second,
Teaching is my third..

They will all play roles in my legacy.
It starts with me, but it ends with you. 

My goal for you is to become abundant mentally, physically & spiritually.
To see the world for what it truly is & to take control. Its time to break free!

Bonus – Life Lesson

To finish off here are some lessons I live by.
(Proverb by King Solomon, broken down by Mark Hoverson)

“Do you see a man who excels in his business?
He will stand before kings, not ordinary people” – Proverbs 22:29

‘’Do you see a man that is speedy (Skilfully efficient & determined) in his work, he will serve the kings, not the lazy (Unmotivated, uneducated)’’

‘’The plans of the diligent surely lead to abundance (Prosperity, plenty, profit) but the hasty (hurried, chicken-with-head-cut-off, frazzled, busy body,)
surely leads to poverty (Stress, Lack, Struggle)’’

The teachings are about craftsmanship, service, quality & speed. Be a connoisseur of excellence. Devote yourself to a craft. Do everything with the highest quality. Become so good that your competition has to respect you. If you become the best at doing what you do, the world will pave a path to your door.

And that my friends are my takeaways for you.
Excellence, always.
