The Doorman Tip (And The Power Of ‘What If’)
Remember where you once were, but understand it doesn’t define you
The case in the right contains the first £10 that I was given (as a tip as a doorman) when I lost everything
I mention this in my book, but I was down to £22 for 6 weeks, living off basically nothing and the sandwiches I could find that were thrown out from the shop next door and this was the first piece of money I got
I vowed I would never be that low again, and that if I EVER had to spend this?
It was game over for me
The picture on the right is me speaking at my event earlier (with Franc) this year; with none other than Gary V as the headline (and my good friends Sean Whalen, Ryan Lee, Shaa Wasmund, Ketan Makwana and Jamie Alderton)
It was, to date, the highpoint of my career and entrepreneurial adventures
I never forgot that £10
Which is why they both sit on my desk now to remind me of what I was, and what I became
If you life is shit right now?
I am fucking proof that IF YOU WANT IT ENOUGH, you can changes
You don’t have to be defined by what you WERE
You should be defined by what you DO
The limits are up here *taps head*
And if you want to make a change, invest in yourself, cut out bad habits/people and fucking GO FOR IT
Then do
Theres nothing stopping you
And as I get ready for another adventure, I’ll leave you with this
Im not one special
Im just a plum from Somerset who wanted more from life
Im just dan
No better or worse than you
Just didn’t want to live a life of regret and wonder
What if
So I started taking action, and now I ask…
Whats next
Laters y’all
