You touch on some fantastic points here Matt. Extremely relatable. Guilt-trip myself so much when I'm on holiday, doing a hobby, even with family / friends just because I'm not grinding. But then I started thinking what do I actually want out of life? Journaling helps a lot but very much an ongoing process
Love this. I feel like I'm watching so many people have similar realizations about taking better mental/physical care of themselves this year, myself included. Inspiring to follow your journey as always!
Hi Matt Can you do a video on the downfalls of starting a ecom brand as 99% of people do not understand the issues and problems behind the scenes. Everybody will tell you what they want you to hear, how much revenue they make etc, but they won’t tell you that it’s ruthless, dog eat dog and that it takes alot of money to launch a brand ( ad cost, agency, photography, shopify development) Their are a lot of snakes in the industry and people will use you for money, you will have issues with suppliers, issues with customers, problems with deliveries I just feel like today so many people selling courses of how they can help start ups but it’s all bulshit and just a money maker for them We need someone to actually tell the truth to how to source products, product amounts and costs, how they set up shopify, how they advertised the brand starting out without huge sums of money, how they dealt with bad suppliers, how they managed orders, the do’s and dont’s I feel like your genuine and straight to point, so would be good to hear the real story from you with the ins and outs as I know most don’t say nothing and just sell fake air to look good
have the same belief, best i've felt was in bali too, make way more money now but the social aspect was so much better. we are tribal creatures at the end of the day. in bali would just shut the laptop at 5 and go to watch the sunset at the beach. now alone in a uk apartment, working all night, but for what? definitely reminds me of when you spoke about hating living alone in newcastle. feeling that myself now, it's not a healthy way to live unless you bring a gf into the house
@@residualroyaltyacademy Ah yeah, that’s valid. I’m wondering if even the novelty of somewhere else in the UK just to switch things up could be an idea to explore
Hey man, I think I've watched all of your videos. I've been building my Saas at the same time. It's been really nice to here some of my own thought come out of someone else's mouth. Thanks for documenting the journey!
You're getting closer to finding your truth. Getting in 'sick shape' is not needed though. You're more than enough and that's just another 'I'll be happy when...'

Helpful. Thanks for sharing
Love how your dog is also listening to you like we are 😅. Great share of thoughts!
I think deep down you know what you need to change to feel happier
So relatable Matt! Definitely easy to slip into old habits. Thanks for the reminder to prioritise physical health!
This video provided so much clarity for me. I've been going through something similar but haven't been able to put it into words
Good video Matt, It's easy to get too comfortable in our hometown and limits our growth.. Make me want to go back to Bali now haha
I don’t live in my hometown haha I live in London (I’m from up north in York originally), but yeah I see the point! 🌍

We need someone to actually tell the truth to how to source products, product amounts and costs, how they set up shopify, how they advertised the brand starting out without huge sums of money, how they dealt with bad suppliers, how they managed orders, the do’s and dont’s

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Matt
Matt bro, appreciate that you always speak your heart out. Going through very similar journey myself.
Much love bro 🥂

dojo coworking was peak living i've got to find some way to recreate that.
How come you don't move away? If not Bali, elsewhere? (if you don't mind me asking)
@@antonkarim1 like the idea of europe but its not as easy getting a visa now from UK, still possible tho
@@residualroyaltyacademy Ah yeah, that’s valid. I’m wondering if even the novelty of somewhere else in the UK just to switch things up could be an idea to explore
@@antonkarim1 its mostly the weather bro, 6 months of gauranteed grey weather from October-March

definitely know what you mean about focusing on the outcome, definitely not the right way to go about it
Have the exact same belief. Completely irrational but hard to control!
Bro this is so true
Let’s gooo

Not a religious person. Why not?
