Not long after I started my first business, I was interviewed by my local newspaper. It makes me cringe to read it today:

I genuinely don't recognise the person I was back then.

I was thinking WAY too small.

And 24 years later, I'm lamenting how much that has cost me.

Especially TWO crucial mistakes I made - that I see others making today...

Do you use vision boards?

Are they "woo-woo", or a scientifically-proven way to make achieving your ambitious lifestyle business goals more likely?

I'm VERY much in the second camp.

Here's why...

What's the One Percent Club, and why should you care?

I explain everything (including our "no dickheads" policy) in this week's podcast..

(btw, The One Percent Club doors are open RIGHT NOW >> https://bigidea.co.uk/one-percent-club/)

The One Percent Club includes access to more than 65 hour-long Masterclasses - deep dive seminars into topics such as pricing, SEO, copywriting, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn, podcasting, book writing, time management etc.

In today's episode of the Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast, we're sharing one of those Masterclasses for FREE - our "90-day plan Masterclass".

All new One Percenters start with making a 90-day plan - figuring out where they would like their business to be, three months from now. This Masterclass walks you through the process, and helps get your first 90-day plan up and running.

Last weekend, I actually had to do some WORK.

(I know, please send cards and sympathy)

But in working my first Saturday morning in 9 years, I discovered something that may well save the guy who usually does the Saturday AM shift a good 10 hours a month...

When I was a kid, I always wanted Wile E Coyote to catch Road Runner.

And then one day, he did - prompting a question that business owners ask themselves every day:

"Now What?"

A question that can be both incredibly powerful - and incredibly dangerous!

This summer, I'm revisiting my ideal job description:

• What I want
• When I want
• Where I want
• How I want
• If I want...

The ten questions I ask myself every week:

1. What have you learned this week?

2. What's gone well this week?

3. What's gone badly? How did you respond?

4. How have you turned the flywheel this week?

5. How have you been ambitious?

6. How have you focused on your lifestyle?

7. Who has inspired you this week, and how?

8. How are you feeling?

9. Are you on track right now?

10. What's the ONE thing that "Old John" needs to remind you of?

What would/do you ask yourself each week?
