I missed a flight to Orlando a fee years ago with my family. All because I couldn't switch off work.
I forgot something that actually matters.
That's the reality of running a business.
If you don't build systems, something will slip.

Something I realised after building, not just earning:
If I’d paid myself more in year one,
I’d probably be worth less today.
Because salary pays you now.
But equity compounds over time.
Back the asset — not just the salary.
Interested. What did you pay yourself in year one?
High revenue doesn’t mean you’re profitable.
I’ve seen founders doing £250k+ a month
who don’t know their breakeven.
When revenue dipped, they burned cash fast —without realising.
No monthly numbers.
Just guesses.
Revenue looks good.
Breakeven keeps you alive.
