I did something shocking.

So there I am sitting thinking to myself… all I could think was “I did something pretty freaking extreme yesterday!” This may shock come as a shock to you, so prepare yourself.?
My life’s filled with interesting situations but one thing’s for sure... there’s never a dull moment and when something big happens I just HAVE to let you guys know.?
Yesterday something pretty extreme happened… and I want to share it with you!
... Are you ready for it?
I got rid of it. That’s right.. I couldn’t take it anymore and just like that I threw my freaking phone over a bridge and I didn’t even watch it torpedo into the water.?
Now before you start unsubscribing or throwing eggs at me, let me explain myself! First off I am not in the habit of littering in the ocean, we have to protect our wildlife. Secondly, I have a REALLY good reason behind why I threw the freaking phone (it’s not ‘the phone’ anymore, it's the ‘freaking phone’).
It may break virtually every rule in modern norms, but here’s why I did it:
You ever see people meandering around in zombie mode - with no energy, no charisma and no purpose? It’s like someone has stripped us of our authenticity and I believe that smartphones have a lot to answer for…? it’s like we can’t go anywhere without them and I’m tired of it. I say no more. I no longer feel the need to carry the ball and chain known as ‘the smartphone’. (I will get one again but this on my terms… when I feel like it)
Ever since I tossed the phone, I stopped caring so much.
I don’t waste my time scrolling aimlessly.
Instead, I can now start being more present and engaged with the people I love the most… and start having my freedom back again.

I know it can be shocking, but I don’t do or teach things just because everyone else does them. Instead, I test them out for myself.?
This is also how my clients get results - we don’t get sidetracked with all the noise you get online, we head straight to the strategies that work.?
I understand that my strategies aren’t typical, but I don’t want you to be typical.?
The average person is trying to get more likes or followers hoping they will then feel fulfilled or have some giftwrapped business opportunity fall on their lap but all of this is false.
I want you guys to avoid this trap and instead get great at growing your business and I challenge you to drop your phone for a while (however you don’t have to be as extreme as I was). Simply by removing your phone temporarily you WILL see a change in yourself without having to worry about who is texting you or what the latest social media post is.
So I urge you guys to give it a go.?
I look forward to hearing from you.
We would love to hear from you!
