If you are feeling uninspired you do not need to become someone new,

you need space to hear yourself clearly again.

You don't need more sh** in your life.

So if you're feeling uninspired in your life,

you feel like you're just wearing these heavy dark tinted black glasses.

My advice to you would be To get to my current position I've done more than 10,000 hours Dreamed

that I saw my name on a gravestone Maybe then they

would give me my flowers Mum put three of our boys

in a tub same time Cause we couldn't afford to shower

So going into this year I felt the most uninspired I've ever felt in my entire life

And maybe you can relate So

if you feel anything like I did going into this year

I am going to show you how to rectify it in this video and I want to respect your time.

So I'm going to give you the long story short.

If you feel like that's everything you need,

you can bounce from the video.

But if you resonate with it,

then stick around because I'm going to share some very intimate and personal thoughts.

If you are feeling uninspired,

you do not need to become someone new.

You need space to hear yourself clearly again.

And sometimes what that entails is going away to a place where your identity doesn't follow you.

like here I am no one I am nothing I am unencumbered you know like it's

so funny like when we want to be inspired what we do we go look at Pinterest

or we go look at uh YouTube

or we try to get some reference points what we do is we like we add more noise

when that is the thing

that made us feel uninspired in the first place you don't

need more in your life you don't need more inputs what

you need to do is you need to strip away the noise you need to strip away

or at least seriously reassess maybe some of your identities maybe some of your habits maybe some of your beliefs

and listen i'm not saying you need to go on some

big ayahuasca retreat even though i mean it was something i

did seven years ago i wouldn't say i regret it i wouldn't say it was truly transformative

if i had the opportunity to go on an ayahuasca retreat again

or i had the opportunity to do what i'm doing right now

which is just get away from everything

which is for a brief moment in time be selfish in the moment to be selfless in the long term.

And this is something I really did throughout the years is I allowed myself the time

and the space to take one step back in order to take two steps forward.

And it gets harder and harder as time goes on.

So I'm going to bring this message back to you

and how to help yourself if you feel anything like I did going into this year. But

just to give you a bit of context

and a bit of background for any of those that may not know who I am.

I've been a entrepreneur in one way,

shape, form or fashion for what, 11, 12 years now.

I've actually just crossed 10 years of uploading on YouTube and I'm coming off the back of in 2025,

an absolutely incredible year.

Now you might be sat there going,

OK, well, I don't understand you just came off the back of such an amazing year

but that's the problem like when you

and it's i kind of stopped talking about more intimate financial stuff like three

or four years ago and the reason why is

because i think for a lot of you guys it turns

parts of your brain off now there's certain parts i'll reveal about how some of the businesses are going

and whatnot but You don't understand that going into this year,

like now after really being a decade into,

first of all, sharing my business,

my life, my wins, my losses.

And this is really my way to express myself and share my journey with you.

So not only from as a creative perspective,

I went into this year feeling the most uninspired I have because I'm like,

I've been doing this thing for 10 years.

Coming off the back of such an amazing year,

you sit there and you go,

all right, well, what now?

Where do I go from here?

And that really brings me to the crux of this video.

And I want to bring it back to you now,

which is as time goes on,

we basically have this wooden box and in this wooden box,

we collect certain stones.

And these stones are basically labels that we have for ourselves,

identities that we have for ourselves,

the way that we view ourselves and how we interact with the world,

not understanding and not realizing that as time goes on,

you're allowed to take on a different identity.

And I can tell you,

even for me, in my 10 year journey,

I've taken on many identities and I've ebbed and flowed and I've,

you know, growing up, I was a avid, avid, avid reader.

And one of my favorite books growing up was a book called King, Warrior, Magician, Lover.

And it's about these four different archetypes.

And if you're part of the 20 or 25% of my female watchers,

I'm sure there's, you know,

your own version of this.

But my point is like,

as time goes on, you really have to open up that box and look at all the things.

And as I said, these identities and these labels and these things

that you've assigned to yourself and you have to question all of it.

And the reason I say that is because if you're not fully aligned with this phase of your life,

then of course you're going to be uninspired.

I also want to make it clear,

I would say about for 90% of you watching,

this is not actually the video that you need.

I think it's probably a very interesting and fascinating video for you to watch,

but I truly don't think it's the video that you need.

Now, most people think they need inspiration.

100

They don't need inspiration.

101

They need discipline.

102

So funnily enough, that's the thing I'm much stronger at.

103

And, you know, over 10 years or so, I've definitely mastered.

104

So if you want me to make another video on what to do,

105

if you're lacking discipline, please,

106

I'll be more than happy to.

107

And I have a lot of very valuable frameworks I feel like to share on that.

108

But discipline is what 90% of you guys are facing,

109

which is like, you know what you need to do.

110

You just need to do it.

111

And there's been many times in my life where I know exactly what I need to do

112

and I just need to execute on it.

113

But you get to a certain point where what got you here won't get you there

114

and this is where inspiration kicks in where you you need to readjust your compass

115

and you need to ask yourself all right is this the destination like i know exactly

116

if i keep walking this road i know where it's going to end up

117

but maybe is the time to realign my compass

118

and set my sights and set my track on a new destination

119

so if you are part of that 10

120

or 15 where it's not about knowing what you need to

121

do you generally just don't know what direction to go in life

122

so in your case that might be do i start

123

that business or do i not start that business in your case

124

that might be do i go to university

125

or do i not go to university in your phase of life

126

that might be all right i'm in this relationship for three years

127

or five years or however many years is this aligned with where I want to be in the future.

128

Maybe for you, that's whatever answers you're searching for,

129

you know, whatever inspiration you're trying to find in order to guide you into this next phase of life

130

or this next sprint.

131

I implore you not to consume more.

132

I implore you at this phase to actually consume less.

133

And if that means unsubscribing from this YouTube channel,

134

I implore you to go for it.

135

Once again, you need to remember the life works in season.

136

So there'll be a time where looking around you and seeing what other people are doing is helpful to your journey.

137

But whether that's for a week,

138

a month or a year,

139

there comes a point where it's not about adding more,

140

it's about adding less.

141

And for me personally, whenever I feel uninspired,

142

the reason I change my environment is because your environment,

143

you really don't realize there's so many trigger points in your environment

144

that keep you locked into who it is that you were when you were uninspired.

145

It basically just places you in this box where all of your thoughts are looped.

146

Your identity is looped.

147

And when you change environment,

148

you basically get a chance to hit the reset button

149

and think in the most purest form and analyze and evaluate in the most purest form.

150

And at least for me personally,

151

and maybe you've seen this in your life,

152

when I look at the people who just kind of gave up on their evolution,

153

like we all know those people,

154

they just gave up on ever feeling inspired again and ever having the bravery really,

155

To kind of shake things up.

156

It's because they just got

157

so dead set in their environment Like we all know those people who just stay in their hometown

158

And quite frankly when you're repeating the same inputs again and again,

159

of course the output is going to be the same

160

so whether it's that hometown friend or We all have

161

that one friend that got into a relationship and they just got comfortable And of course,

162

you know relationships are so beautiful when you have the right individual by your side

163

But unfortunately a lot of people get into those relationship where as time goes on,

164

you know the gears of comfort keep grinding them down

165

and down and down and down

166

and eventually you get to a point where I said everything turns you lose the color of life

167

so if you're feeling uninspired in your life

168

and you feel like you're just wearing these heavy dark tinted

169

black glasses my advice to you would be just take off the glasses right just take off the glasses

170

and the way you do that as you go somewhere new now for me

171

that meant physically getting on a plane and coming somewhere new.

172

Literally, I'm here in Scotland right now.

173

And because I knew for me personally,

174

I'm based between Dubai, London,

175

we have offices in New York.

176

It's just there's too much association and there's too much noise in these cities.

177

Like I have too much,

178

there's too many ties there where I couldn't truly step away and take off the glasses.

179

So whether that means getting on a flight for you,

180

whether that means driving for three,

181

four hours and going to a new city and going on a hike

182

or exploring or going alone and just sitting at a coffee shop and just journal,

183

you know, it's you don't always have to do these.

184

I really hope that you don't watch this video and think

185

that I'm telling you to have your secret life of Walter Mitty moment where,

186

you know, you drop everything and you go on the soul searching.

187

You know, for me, this isn't soul searching.

188

I'm not, you know, I don't want to sit here

189

and sound like I'm having a midlife crisis

190

and uh you know make this sound all all performative

191

and whatnot uh the truth is like there are certain places in the world where it's hard to be inspired

192

because you just have so much baggage there

193

and by the way baggage could be good baggage

194

and bad baggage you know i don't want to say

195

that baggage has connotations but of course you know every memory good

196

or bad that you have in a place is like um you know another rock

197

that you're attached to your ankle

198

and then of course it becomes very difficult to swim in these places and bask and think and ideate unencumbered.

199

And the best people I know,

200

they carve out time to do exactly this.

201

You know, wherever you live in the world,

202

it doesn't cost you a crazy amount of money to just get away for a couple days in the nature,

203

in the woods, and really just,

204

as I said, give yourself just some breathing room, you know.

205

And for a couple of days,

206

just take off the ankle weights,

207

let yourself swim a bit,

208

and let the inspiration come back to you, not by adding more.

209

Trust me, like,

210

that is the last thing on earth you want to do

211

right now is add more watch more consume more more more

212

more more everything's about more no you want to hit the reset button just give yourself some space for stillness and peace

213

and um i guarantee the inspiration is going to come back

214

to you i think the funny thing with inspiration is we think it's like some lightning bolt

215

that just strikes you

216

and then now you're the inspiration's back like that's that's not

217

how it works the inspiration comes back to you in quiet moments of solace and peace

218

and quiet that's why these moments of inspiration feel like a

219

gift from the universe you know as i said whatever it is

220

that you might prescribe to my point is yes i'm sure there's a large component to

221

that but a lot of it is just like you have inside of your ideas concepts abstract thoughts

222

that truly could change the world you just have choked

223

that part of yourself out by by simply having too much static

224

and noise in your life

225

so whatever your situation is in life please get in your car

226

and find that place an hour and a half away book

227

that flight or you know i stay in your city

228

but find that park that you've never been to you have no association no identity,

229

no nothing around it.

230

And go take your journal, pen, paper.

231

You don't need more inputs.

232

You need less.

233

And it's absolutely crazy how quickly the inspiration comes back.

234

I can tell you even for me,

235

literally within 24 hours of changing the environments and getting to listen to my own thoughts in an unencumbered way,

236

my inspiration is back.

237

And I am more excited for 2026 than I think I've ever been for any new year.

238

And I think for me,

239

the love of the game has just come back.

240

It's not about the results or the harvest.

241

It's just a love for the game.

242

So Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart,

243

I hope you took something away from this video.

244

It's crazy.

245

I've been like an older brother or uncle on here for 10 years at this point.

246

And honestly, after giving myself a bit of room to breathe,

247

I'm looking forward to another 20 or 30 years.

248

So with all that being said,

249

as always, I'm watching from afar and I'm rooting for you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
