In this personal reflection, the speaker recounts a period of dissatisfaction after moving his company to a new office. Although the business was performing well, he felt the company's identity was weak and it wasn't attracting top‑level talent. Seeking change, he embarked on a personal development journey with coach Jack Salmon. During a pivotal conversation, Salmon asked him to envision his business three years ahead, prompting the speaker to set a bold target of £10‑15 million in turnover. This challenge sparked a shift toward greater ambition, encouraging him to think beyond his previous limits and consider how a larger vision could help attract higher‑calibre talent.

Chapters

We were kind of in a period, we moved to a new office, things were going, they're still going really well, but I wasn't really, really happy with the business as a whole. I wasn't happy with the identity. We weren't, like I said, tapping into this top-level talent. And then I kind of went on a more personal development journey and worked with Jack Salmon. I remember I had a conversation with him and he said, you know, where do you envision your business going in 3 years? I want to be sort of £10-15 million turnover. And he said, like, look, I don't want to take the piss out of you, but like, I thought you'd say more. And I sort of thought, okay, am I thinking small here? And it's that encouragement to really just Be ambitious, think about what you actually want to achieve and then go that step beyond.
