I went shopping and got my shopping for FREE!!!

noreply • May 13, 2020

I want to tell you about this amazing experience!!!!

So money is really tight and I am sure you know what I mean, so when you need something so much in your life you have to make choices.

Let me tell you what are my priorities


So I knew that the alcohol I was drinking was really important in my life.

God I could not live without my mobile phone, those Tik Tok videos don't make themselves.

What are you watching on Netflix at the moment, personally I am making my way through every box set at the moment.

How much are fags at the moment it's costing me £70, I want to give up but it is so hard.

Anyway back to my story, so money is tight and I go to the shops and I haven't got much money so I have heard that there are some deals on at the moment and I go to the local shop to inquire
 about the deals.

I get talking to one of the shop assistants and say I need to nourish my body, I need food but I haven't got much money.


I asked if I could have all my food for free or at least at a discount.

To my surprise the shop assistant said "let me speak to my manager".

The manager comes and says "You have asked if you can have your shopping for free because you are hungry is that right and you have no money?"

I say "yes", so he says "let me have a think", he says he wants to help, but if he gives me my shopping for free or at a reduced rate he would have to give that to everyone else.

In the end being a good and talented man, he agrees, in fact he says he will give everyone their food for free.

AMAZING!!!!!!

So the shop gives everything away.

A few weeks later I went back to get my food for free again and the shop is closed.

I then noticed a man outside - he looked sad, it was the manager.

I asked him "what had happened" and he explained.

"I spent 20 years learning how to be a manager, I have always taken pride in looking after people, my staff always told me I was really nice and I always helped people".

"I spent £20,000 on my own training and spent time away from my family and went through some tough times, but all of these experiences allowed me to get my job, it gave me the skills and talents to build a workforce that not only provided employment for my staff but also for all the other businesses who relied on us".

"I sacrificed so many things and I have lost everything"

"That's terrible I said, this shouldn't happen to a person like you"

So I asked "how did this happen, you are such a nice guy, so talented and had so much to offer the world, what will we do now if their is no food?"

"Do you remember when you asked for help because you had no money and I gave you your shopping for free and then everyone else wanted it for free or at a reduced rate".

Yes "I said, that was so generous of you, it meant I could continue smoking, pay my Netflix subscription and feed my bad habits, which I wish I could get rid of".



He continued "Well your shop was £300 and to make it fair we let everyone else have it for free and we had 30,000 people in one week which was £9,000,000".

"Wow that is a lot of money" I said.

"Yes, well we couldn't pay our bills so because of that all our suppliers didn't get paid and because of that we couldn't pay our staff, like me they are homeless too".

"So now I have no money, no home, I have great talent but I am broke, because I gave my gifts away, I am so hungry"

He looked at me and said "could you help me" and I said, "I am so sorry, I don't have any money and I need to go to another shop now and get some more free food, so I can continue to invest in things that keep pain from my door".

"It's a real shame someone else can't help you, I liked shopping here, the food was great value and tasted amazing, the service was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble, but I don't see why I should have to pay for that".

You are a nice guy I wish you all the best.


So how many of you believe this story is true?

It is true of so many of us that we believe we have a right to take without returning that value back to the person who may have been through great sacrifice to attain the thing we want.

Many people who value serving a greater good will often suffer great pain to help others and they do that willingly and the world needs these people. However if they are not fed and watered, if their basic needs are not met, they will perish and along side them, you will to, eventually.

If you are sitting there reading this and you:

1. Suffer with anxiety and are spending your money on cigarettes, alcohol, clothes, media, gadgets and crap that actually ads no value in your life but they distract you from having the life you dream of because life is hard.

2. You prefer to take for yourself and don't see the impact of you asking for things for free or cheap and believe that people should give you that.

3. Feel like crap smoking yourself to death and saying I can't get help because I can't afford it.

4. Anything else that makes you feel pain, not feeling good enough, thinking you can't have an amazing life.

Ask yourself this......what am I willing to sacrifice to attain the thing that someone else has. 

The answer, the secret.
How do you feel?

How would it feel to be free from all that pain?

How would life be, to feel good about yourself?

How would life be that you felt so good that you could speak your truth and be who you want to be?

How would it feel to feel alive?

What if I told you that can be a reality in just 2 hours?

How would you feel?

What if I told you that you had to give me something for it?

What if I told you that for me to give you that knowledge that energy, that nutrition you would have to pay for it?

How do you feel?


We think nothing of paying for food to nourish our bodies and it would not enter our mind to ask for it for free or at a reduced rate, although yes we all love a deal.

We would never think twice of paying Netflix and Sky every month to entertain us.

We think nothing of paying corporate companies thousands of pounds a year to ingest harmful toxins into our bodies.

We think nothing of paying £49 a month to have the latest smartphone.

We think nothing of wasting our lives away.

But we are more than willing to not seek help to eradicate
 the feelings that we hide behind everyday.

We prefer to pretend life is amazing whilst suffering with anxiety and tension and then we pop pills to mask that pain.

And all the time their are people who can take that all away in just 2 hours.

Give you freedom, peace, self worth, purpose, joy, love - everything that we dream of, but we prefer to dream and not take action.

You see life is like breathing, if we take too much, like taking a breath in, eventually it will hurt.

If we give to much, like breathing out, we will suffer the same, like the shop manager, without oxygen you will die.

Everything is energy, so if you wish to receive the most abundant life, receive more energy I want to share some wisdom.

If you don't want to fall over in life, you must find balance, you must seek the air which will allow you to breath the deepest, find the people who serve your zest to live and not to take your life from you.

When you find those people give to them the energy they need to sustain there life.

Because when you invest in those who have purpose, you will receive back in ways you can never imagine.

You both move forward and infect everyone around you with the same purpose, love, freedom and peace.

Life is about choice, but I ask this thing of you.

When someone has the answer to taking the pain away and you ask them for the answer for free. 

Stop......Pause......and Think.....then ask them .

"What did you give up to achieve this knowledge and you will find the investment they made to gain their knowledge is far greater than the price you will pay to receive it".


As for me I help people break free in just 2 hours and my 21 day programme changes peoples lives forever.

How much did that cost me to attain that knowledge........Nearly my life.

So when you work with me know that you pay me because I nearly lost my life, but I made a simple choice to put myself in debt, my wife and children second, to spend thousands of pounds and hours to attain the knowledge that will set you free in just 2 hours.

What are you willing to give up to have that experience, or are you going to do what I did and wait until it nearly kills you.

Your choice!!!!!!

When I broke I had one question - Why do I feel the way I do?

In the quest for success, many presume that the amalgamation of skill, authority, and financial prowess marks the zenith of achievement. Yet, experience and observation reveal a more complex tapestry defining true success. It's not merely about elevating oneself to a pedestal of societal recognition but about finding harmony in one's purpose, happiness, and, fundamentally, the environment one thrives in. Success, for many, is an external validation of achievement. However, this perception barely scratches the surface of what it truly means to be successful. The essence lies not in the accumulation of wealth or influence but in the ability to foster genuine relationships, nurture a sense of purpose, and, most importantly, cultivate an environment conducive to growth. The Role of Environment in Shaping Success A pivotal realisation in my journey has been that while skill, talent, passion, and hard work are critical, they pale in comparison to the influence of one's environment. This concept is subtly mirrored in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, although its interpretation requires delicacy. The foundational needs—physiological and safety—are undeniably crucial. Yet, their fulfillment alone doesn't guarantee success. It's the higher levels, particularly love, belongingness, and ultimately self-actualisation, that are the true catalysts for success. Breaking Maslow's Mold: The Path to True Success The journey to success often involves adhering to conventional paths, much like following Maslow's model. However, those who achieve remarkable success tend to deviate from this path, prioritising purpose and connection over mere survival or conformity. True success, therefore, might be better represented not by a pyramid but by a diamond—a symbol of strength, brilliance, and multifaceted depth. However like the diamond they are tought to find and the environment in which they reside can be a difficult environement to access. The Diamond Framework for Achieving Success To attain true success, one must embark on a journey of self-discovery, knowing oneself fully. This self-awareness breeds confidence and self-esteem, propelling one towards self-actualisation. However, the journey doesn't stop there. Success is a symphony played on the strings of thought, emotion, alignment with like-minded individuals, and a nurturing environment. 1. Thought: Knowing what you want. 2. Emotion: Understanding why you want it. 3. Alignment: Surrounding yourself with people who share your values and vision. 4. Environment: Being in a place that amplifies your desires and aspirations. It's a harmonious blend of these elements, set against the backdrop of a supportive environment, that paves the way for true success. The Mentorship Paradigm: From Luke Skywalker to Harry Potter Every iconic success story, from fictional heroes like Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter to real-life titans, features a pivotal moment of mentorship—a guide who says, "I've got you." This mentorship is a testament to the power of connection and authenticity. It's about showing up as your true self and creating a ripple effect that transcends your immediate surroundings. Success Redefined: A Ripple Across the World Success, in its most profound sense, is about more than just personal achievement. It's about creating connections that foster a broader impact, embodying your authentic self in a way that resonates with others and inspires a collective movement towards a greater good. In a world that often equates success with material gain, it's crucial to remember the deeper dimensions of success. It's not just about what you achieve but how you achieve it—through authenticity, purposeful connections, and a supportive environment that resonates with your true self. If you are still searching If you are still searching, waiting, although you are taking action then fear not, keep showing up to quote Winson Churchill "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It's the courage to continue that counts"

Forging Authentic Paths in a Mainstream World: Insights from Coffee Choices to Life's Biggest Decisions
by Marcus Matthews 30 Jan, 2024
In the ever-evolving landscape of business, understanding the human element—particularly the dichotomy between those who take and those who give—is crucial. At the heart of this understanding is a simple, yet profound concept: the importance of "sitting in the mud." For the heart-centered individuals among us, those whose essence is to support, uplift, and contribute to the collective well-being, the journey is often marked by selfless giving. Yet, this path is not without its challenges. The primary struggle for these altruistic souls is the depletion of their energy, not by the act of giving, but by the lack of reciprocal support and understanding. In a world that increasingly values quick fixes and tangible gains, the heart-centered find themselves in a precarious position. When they falter, when they find themselves "stuck in the mud," what they need most is not solutions or advice, but companionship. They need someone to simply be with them in their moment of vulnerability, to acknowledge their struggle without judgment or haste to rectify it. However, the reality often deviates from this ideal. Instead of presence, heart-centered individuals are met with well-intentioned solutions or, in more disheartening scenarios, abandonment. This dynamic forces them into silence, bearing their burdens alone to avoid burdening others. The irony is palpable: those who give the most find themselves invisible, their contributions and their needs overshadowed by a world that moves too fast to notice. The repercussions extend beyond the personal to the professional realm. In the context of team dynamics and brand building, the undervaluing of heart-centred individuals can lead to a profound loss. These are the people who foster trust, nurture relationships, and build the kind of brand loyalty that transcends transactional interactions. Yet, when their authenticity becomes a target for the self-centred, it's not just the individual that suffers, but the entire organisational culture and, by extension, the brand itself. So, how do we address this imbalance? The first step is recognition. Recognising the invaluable contributions of heart-centred team members and understanding their unique needs is foundational. As leaders and colleagues, we must learn the art of "sitting in the mud" with them. This means offering our presence, listening without the urge to fix, and valuing their well-being as much as their output. A great question to consider it "What do you need"? Not "What do you need from me, but what do you need"? Often it's to be seen and action taken to allow them to have purpose and meaning. Many heart centred people hide their dreams to put others before them, what they need is someone to sit in the mud and say "I got you, what do you need", they don't want pulling out of the mud they need to feel valued by action, not by words. Creating an environment where vulnerability is not just accepted but valued is key. This involves cultivating a culture of empathy, where every member feels seen, heard, and appreciated for their authentic selves. In such an environment, the heart-centred can thrive, and their propensity for giving can be sustained and protected. In conclusion, the strength of a team, and by extension a brand, lies in its ability to embrace and support all its members, especially those whose default mode is to give. By learning to sit in the mud with our heart-centred colleagues, we not only uplift them but elevate our collective potential. It's in these moments of shared vulnerability that the deepest connections are formed, laying the groundwork for a brand built on genuine trust and unwavering loyalty. This is how you create a brand that people love and connect to because it transcends the self to serve the world. If you resonate with this blog then why not get in touch.

Understanding the Investment Cost Concerns - The Initial Hurdle: Yes, my services come with a price tag. It's an investment of your resources, and it's natural to be cautious. However balancing cost of the impact of your life always has a price. The Misconception Transformational Life Coaching isn't counselling or therapy.

Transformational Life Coaching combines everything into one powerful modality, empowering individuals to achieve their goals and create lasting positive change, by finding the root cause to the challenge then providing a path to bring these new insights into your reality. Often, we view such services in the same light as buying a tangible product. However, Transformational Life Coaching is an investment in your most valuable asset – YOU. Value and Return Beyond Monetary Gains: The returns from Transformational Life Coaching are not always quantifiable in currency. Would you like to manifest improved mental health, better relationships, career advancement, and overall life satisfaction? The positive changes you will experience often radiate into other areas of your life, creating a compounding effect of benefits. Anyone who knows about investing, knows the power of compounding, this creates a ripple effect where one small move can create a wave that changes your life forever. Many talking therapies feel more like taking the heavy pack off your back so you can rest, cope and manage that weight. Why not travel lighter, smarter and quicker. How do you presently measure the value of personal growth and happiness? What price are you putting on your well-being and fulfilment? Why do you feel change can't happen?
