@elonmusk For the love of god, remove “ye” from X. He is poison, showing children porn/supporting nazis and being straight up evil.

I understand freedom of speech, but this is just disgusting.

@AlexHormozi Why is there 17 year olds giving business advice under this. You aren’t even legally able to start a LLC or LTD yet.

Oblivion rereleased today, it feels like 2006 again.

Last time I played this game, I was in my mums bedroom. At 9 years old, with my Xbox 360.

Life really does move fast!

Email is the most underrated but extremely effective tool in your marketing toolkit.

You own the data, you can automate your sequences for nurture and is a proven conversion powerhouse.

Never be cliché.

It is lazy and results in your business never making the money it should be.

I don’t care if you talk about even the most minuet difference between you and the competition, use it.

Likes do not = Money.

Views do not = Money.

There is lots of broke “influencers” with many eyeballs, but they have absolutely NO IDEA how to monetise attention.

Focus on developing the art of building offers and giving value to people.

Value = Money.

You need to stop feeding The Arrival Fallacy.

No person, no place, no thing and no goal will make you ''Happy''.

But you should strive to compete in the Infinite Game as a Business Owner.

[Josh Clarke @robertjclarke]

I used to think you needed to ''Tell People What To Do''.

Then I realised, it led to me x100ing my workload. I had to deal with every single little problem.

Before I understood this concept, I was completely ''Burnt Out'' it truly changed my productivity and my stress levels.

[Josh Clarke @robertjclarke]

Too much negativity.

Humans are beautiful beings, look at what we have created.

We are builders, poets, fighters, providers, lovers, growers and have so much capacity for change.

Please lean into your human nature, build.

This actually sounds like a great idea.

Two weeks until changes to National Insurance come in - rate increasing, threshold drastically decreasing. A truly awful combination.

Huge uproar when it’s announced, now almost nobody in Westminster seems to care. Well, businesses up and down the country still care. This is going to hurt, a lot. Plenty will have made plans, plenty won’t - the current climate simply doesn’t allow for it.

This is not a small amount of money - for a reasonable sized business, you’re talking tens and tens of thousands of pounds they have got to find every year. What’s the result? Fewer pay rises, fewer contracts, less investment. It’s really that simple.

It is mind-numbingly stupid.

There is ONE way to get an economy pumping. Incentives. Government doesn’t create growth, individuals do - incentivise them.

We should be slashing corporation tax (lowest in Europe), scrapping IR35, doubling the VAT threshold, increasing personal allowances, abolishing business rates for high street small firms, reducing national insurance contributions, cutting tax on salary/dividends and much, much more.

Let’s force the public sector to buy British goods and food, particularly from businesses local to the institutions. If a school needs bread, buy it from a local bakery. If a hospital needs equipment, buy it from a British firm. Why is this not already happening?!

Brutally slash back bureaucracy - a red tape bonfire visible from the moon. Ease planning/licence laws for small businesses. Let them actually do business, not just fill in forms and endlessly debate with the latest council drone.

I’d like to significantly widen the gap between starting a business, and when the first tax is due. Give entrepreneurs the time they need to build and grow. In the medium term, it will generate far more tax revenue.

There is just so much to change, it’s difficult to know where to start.

And a ‘business owner’ isn’t necessarily an individual with 30 employees, it could just be one or two. These are the people that drive the economy.

They are not some city fat cat. It's decent men and women who have taken a huge risk in going out on their own. Now they're faced with this? It's all so depressing.

I know, I've done it and invested in numerous individuals who have done it. It is bloody hard work.

My view? Government needs to get the hell out of their way.

That’s how we grow the economy, it’s the only way.

[Josh Clarke @robertjclarke]

Never use Cliché phrases in your business, they do absolutely nothing for you.

“We help grow your business” “We are the best at XYZ” “Best in town”

Bin it, think of something completely different. Or become white-noise to the market.
