The £5k risk that changed everything

Let’s make this month count 💪

August 04, 20251 min read

I remember it clearly

Me & Holly had just moved to Southampton

We were sleeping on pull out sofa bed of her nan’s one-bed flat

No money

No clients

Just a gut feeling that this was the right move

I’d secretly taken out a credit card for just over £5,000 to buy a business mentorship

Didn’t tell anyone

Because if it didn’t work, I didn’t want to deal with the “I told you so”

That course had a module on Facebook Ads

I followed it to the letter

Set up my first ad the day after signing to rent space out of a studio

The £5k risk that changed everything

By the end of week one, I sold my first 12-week package for £650

Within 3 months, I had 20 high-paying clients

That one decision

That one risk

Changed everything

It gave me the confidence to say no to job offers at Blacks & Footlocker

It gave me the first real taste of what freedom could look like

And now, years later

It’s the same confidence I try to pass on to the gym & studio owners inside the FitPro Incubator

Because let’s be honest

The ads, the emails, the systems, they all matter

But the first step is backing yourself

If you’re ready to do that, I’ll help you do the rest

You got this 💪
