What happens when you finally back yourself
Back in 2015 when we moved back to Southampton, I was at a proper crossroads
Me & Holly had packed everything from North Wales into a tiny car
Arriving in Southampton with nowhere to live & ended up sleeping on the floor of her nan’s one-bed flat
Trying to figure life out 😬
Then on that first day I drove past a gym that had a sign in the window:
“Looking for self-employed PTs to rent space”
At the same time, I’d just taken out a £5k credit card to pay for a fitness business “guru” course
Not telling anyone, because if it failed, I’d have to own it alone
That course had a module on Facebook Ads
On day two in Southampton, I borrowed money from Holly nan to pay for the first month rent on the gym space

By the end of the first week, I sold my first 12-week package for £650
Within three months, I was working with 20 high-paying clients
Turning down job offers at Blacks & Footlocker, because deep down I knew I could make this work
Looking back, that was the moment everything changed
All because I finally bet on myself
If I hadn’t taken out that card
If I hadn’t invested in learning how to actually get leads
If I’d played it safe & taken a “secure” job
None of this would’ve happened
No travelling the world
No taking my parents on holidays
No freedom to do what I want, when I want
So if you’re sitting there waiting for the perfect time… trust me, it never comes 👊
You’ve got to back yourself first
So if now is the time you want some help stacking the odds in your favour
From someone who’s been exactly where you are
Drop me a message & we’ll chat about where you’re stuck
You got this 💪
