I was fired from my first job at 17 at a pub...

I have a failed marriage.

I sent a bulk email to a load of clients accidently … weren’t actually mine.

Last year I missed my desired target.

At the time, none of these moments feel great.

But they teach me something important.

Getting things wrong is part of building anything.

What actually holds people back isn’t failure.

It’s the fear of it.

We convince ourselves not to try things because we’re worried about looking stupid, getting it wrong, or having to admit we messed up.

But if you look at the people we admire most, their stories are full of setbacks.

James Dyson built more than 5,000 prototypes before his vacuum finally worked.

Sara Blakely was rejected again and again before Spanx existed.

The difference is they didn’t treat mistakes as the end of the story.

They treated them as part of the process.

When you take risks, sometimes you win.

Sometimes you learn.

But either way you move forward.

And every time something goes wrong and you realise the world didn’t end, you become a little bit braver the next time.

Confidence doesn’t come from everything going perfectly.

It comes from surviving the moments when it doesn’t.

So if you’re hesitating to try something because you’re worried about messing it up…

Remember this:

Failure isn’t the opposite of success.

It’s usually the path that gets you there.
...And guess what I still hustle and I still win and this year will be the best yet and I believe it will be for you too. Just make sure you are in the place where you can win and grow to be your best self.

I feel rejected.

At 18 I thought my life was over.
I made it to the final round at Guildhall to train as an opera singer.
I had the voice the passion the hours of practice.
And then I got rejected.

I cried. I felt humiliated. I thought I had missed my only chance.

But here is the truth.
Rejection does not mean you are not good enough.
It means there is a different door waiting to open.

Today I know that path was not right for me.
And the life I have built since is proof that the right opportunities always find you when you keep moving.

So if you have been rejected by a role a client or even a person remember this.
It is not the end. It is a re direction.
Every no carries the seeds of a better yes.

Why are more people not doing this?

At 21, I scrubbed toilets.
I took the jobs nobody else wanted.
Not because I loved it—but because I knew discomfort was the fastest teacher.

Now, I’m on track to be mortgage-free next year.

This isn’t bragging. It’s proof.

If a student once labelled a “concern” with dyslexia and dyspraxia can build a career and financial security—then anyone can.

The difference?
Most people run from uncomfortable.
I ran at it.

👉 If you want growth, stop looking for shortcuts. Do the work others won’t touch. Say yes to the tasks that scare you.

That’s where the real results live.

Love makes people move countries.
So does heartbreak.

I’ve lived both.

I’ve seen it in my candidates too....

One day they’re settled, the next they’re boarding a plane to the USA.
Sometimes they’re chasing love.
Sometimes they’re escaping heartbreak.

Recruitment isn’t just jobs.

It’s about meeting people at those raw moments when they’ll risk everything for a fresh start.

Because whether you’re running towards something or away from it, the leap feels the same.

TRUTH: 🫵 People often say I am strong but do you know what? COURAGE is what counts. Keep trusting your instinct and be bold... the stories you tell yourself about you are SO important. If you tell yourself you are lost or a victim, then you are. Take control, manifest and own it and be the best version of yourself.

Good morning mentoring voice notes from .

The best decision I ever made in my career?

Not setting up on my own.
Not landing my first client.
Not even scaling my billings.

It was having the right cheerleader.

When I doubted myself, Luke Smith believed in me.

When I second guessed every choice, he listened.

When I thought about giving up, he reminded me why I started.

Luke isn’t just a first class recruiter.
He’s the reason I had the courage to launch solo.

If you’re lucky enough to have a mentor like that, never forget them.

And if you don’t, go find one.

Because one great mentor can change your entire career.
