My New Years Goals 👊

Heyyyyy Store…Fam…A…Lam

I think it’s important to take stock of your life at certain points throughout the year ….

New Year is one of those such points 👊

I like to sit down and take an hour or two to plan out my priorities for the coming 12 …

Then after I know what my prioritise are I then like to take a day or two to strategise how I will achieve them

(Me and the wife are off to Tenerife for 3 days next week, this is where I can strategise and plan 😈😈)

Theres 4 main buckets for me -

• Health

• Business

• Family

• Relationships

Let’s start with …   

Health -

• 156 Visits to the gym (Average 3 times a week)

• 1,300 Miles run (Average 25 miles a week)

• 17,500 Daily average step count

I almost think, if i hit these targets then the shape of the body will take care of itself 💪

Ha …. But ….

I did say this last year ….

I ended up betting my kids id have a six pack by the end of 2024 … Needless to say I lost that bet 😫🤷‍♂️

Business -

• (At least) 10 self storage sites up and running (we have such an opportunity in self storage right now it would be crazy not to push on)

• Over 5,000 newsletter subs (currently on 778) (I have a lot of strategies to grow this but I won’t bore you)

• YouTube - Set up a completely dedicated to YouTube  (one video a week) (im excited by this)

• £1 Million in course sales (all reinvested in Store Mores growth) … Ha buy my course NOW 😄

• Post 5 times per week on LinkedIn (Mon - Fri)

• Put on a conference for the first time (all profits go to charity)

• Get better at replying to emails and messages 🫣😅 Sorry I know im shocking at this

• Finally …. To have less cash flow worries … Ha gotta change the habit of a life time 😂

Overall I was really happy with the way 2024 progressed in most areas of business

As ever, because we are expanding rapidly cash flow was a constant worry and focus

Ive brought in an awesome FD (financial director) Claire on bard and straight away she has given me some strategies to improve this 😀

I do feel the (awesome) course will also help cash flow

Allow me a paragraph (or two 🤣) to tell you why you should buy the course …

Cough, Cough … (Clears his throat 🤔) …..

Right ….

I know I bang on about the course but I do it for two reasons

• To sell more (ha not going to lie) ✅

• Because I know how amazing it is ….. ✅

If all the course did was -

• Increase revenue by 10% ..

Would it be worth it????

• Helped you open your 1st self storage facility

Would it be worth it????

• Gave you the confidence to open another self storage facility

Would it be worth it????

Heres the link to buy the course if your interested (available until 7pm tomorrow) -

Self Storage Course

Thats the last il talk about it today 😎

Pinky Promise ✅

Family -

I love spending time with my family and I know my kids wont always want to spend weekends and holidays with me … (Ha and probably the wife) forever …

So I’m going to continue to prioritise spending as much time with them as possible on school holidays and weekends ❤️🫶

I also feel very lucky to have an amazing relationship with my Mum and Dad and I wont to continue to focus on that

Hi Mum and Dad 🤣 … I know they read this newsletter 🤗

Relationships -

• Focus on friendships more this year

• Reply to friends more

With work and family life this is something I do drop the ball with

It is hard to juggle everything and sometimes balls drop … This is certainly one of them

It has been brought to my attention from closes friends that I am SHIT (there words haha) at replying …. So I’m going to make a conscious effort to improve this 👊

Most importantly appreciate the things you currently have ….

We tend to only appreciate something when its gone 🫶 … Myself included

Thats just about it guys ….

I would genuinely love to hear your aspirations for 2025 ….

Hit reply and let me know …. Il even reply 😳🤣🫶

Loads of self storage man love
