Celebrating 10,000 views ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‚


Dear community

โ€‹

I'm celebrating 10,000 views.

Not for me, but for my son! ๐Ÿ˜„

โ€‹

His most popular YouTube is at 3.5k views.

His cricket seat review, at 1.6k views - whaaaaat?

โ€‹My very expensive mistake - My most popular YouTube short before this had 12 views. I commissioned Eli to make me a video and promised him ยฃ2 for every 10 views.

I now owe him ยฃ182

โ€‹

He continues to teach me play and being human.

โ€‹

Why share this?

I spend too much time passively scrolling

I just caught myself now

I spend time feeling like the victim

I sit and ponder, do I 'do' enough? Am I setting my integrity properly?

โ€‹

What's the answer?

โ€‹

Create.

Take control.

Be.

Even the smallest thing.

โ€‹

Can you commit to this affirmation...

โ€‹

I will create, when I feel like I am scrolling through life.

Dear amazing community, For years, my clients have had my personal number. Whenever they needed support, had a question, or were facing a wobble, theyโ€™d do one simple thing: message Mo. And Iโ€™d respond. Always. The world is shifting in 2025. What was a priority last month feels irrelevant this month. I keep hearing about people getting pulled back into the day-to-day inertia. I also KNOW the feeling of wanting change diminishes over time. And I feel it too, the gravitational pull of old...

Dear community I was in a car accident this weekend. Not what I had planned for half-term holidays. ๐Ÿคฃ Weโ€™re fine. It was a freak accident...a one-in-a-million kind of moment. It shook me. The sound of the glass shattering was something else. And what came up first? Is Eli OK? What came second? Embarrassment. Dozens of people stopped. But in that moment, I realised: I have reserves. Reserves to be calm. To laugh. To ask the universe what the message might be? Donโ€™t get me wrong, thereโ€™s still...
