How This Works

I started this website for my children and friends, who frequently came to me for guidance, frustrated with an education system that fails to teach real-life skills and practical knowledge, along with a media and establishment narrative that discourages individualism and encourages dependence.

On leaving education or changing careers, people often feel confused and lost. Moving from one life to another, especially losing a job title or a sheltered life where they're institutionalised. Some lives are structured from cradle to grave; you live the system, and when the system is gone, so is the life. Learning a new system is like moving to an alien culture with a totally different language and customs.

Transitioning to a new life often requires a catalyst, something that gives you the confidence to head toward the desired destination. Some people need a significant push, others just a finger pointing in the right direction.

The blog section of the website is full of information to help you on your journey. Health, Finance, and Relationships are the key areas. When you have a better understanding of these areas of your life, things fall into place more easily.

Achieving your goals is like pushing a large boulder up a hill. Once you're at the top, you're not just climbing with all your might, but fighting so the boulder doesn't roll off either side, while desperately trying not to fall flat on your face.

Attaining and maintaining your goal requires an understanding of the rules to help you get there and the threats that may take it away. Those threats include financial, health, and relationship issues.

Threats come in all shapes and sizes, and being prepared is your best defence. Metaphorically, hopefully, you will never be mugged and have to use the years of martial arts training to save your life!

Every decision and action you take will have a positive or negative outcome; a positive result is preferable. However, with the best will in the world, you will never be right all of the time. However, we can learn to approach decision-making with knowledge of the threats. The more knowledge and experience we have, the more successful we will be. For example, when crossing the road. If you don't look, you get squashed.

The blog section will provide you with valuable insights and information to help you achieve your objectives and identify potential threats.

For example, the financial and legal system is there to help you fail. Understanding inflation, taxation, compound interest and ownership will help you maintain control of your assets and prevent others from having what's not theirs.

A question for you: Do you own the money in your bank account?

If your answer is Yes, sadly, you are wrong. Following the 2008 financial crash, you now only have a "Beneficial Interest"; the bank has a first call on your savings. Cyprus was the test case!

What else don't you know that could give you an advantage?

People and culture

Our people are what make us unique. I'm unique, as there is only one of me. Along with the people who guided me on my journey, most have passed away; a few remain enjoying their golden years. Hence, I treat this as a group effort, but I represent it, My Mate Jeff.

The people who guided me, either intentionally or by example, were and are successful in life and have overcome real-life experiences. Death, alcoholism, physical disability, financial loss and still survived, reclaiming their lives and success—100s of years of combined knowledge and wisdom.

We all believe that success is an individual feat, not measured in financial possessions or income. Raising a family, maintaining perfect health, and having three meals a day are all measures of success. However, we all agree that having good health, strong relationships, and sufficient financial means is essential in today's world.
