Guys Over 35 That Suffer With Anxiety
I’m slightly confused as to when suffering with a few nerves before you’re about to do something starts to be diagnosed as you suffering with anxiety. And at what point does this become a problem. I’ve always thought that a little bit of nerves / stress / anxiety controlled in the right way can actually…
Are You Actually Ready Yet?
Check out the above diagram. It’s the (quite famous) hierarchy of needs pyramid concept introduced by psychologist Abraham Maslow back in 1943. He believed that we all have 5 sets of needs that appear in a particular order and that as each level is reached we then have a desire to fulfil the next one.…
We’re Getting Bigger
Check out the above graph. I came across it this morning and find the whole thing really alarming. Check out those trends for England and America – it’s all going in the wrong direction. Having been in that bracket where you are technically classed as obese – BMI = more than 30, I’m intrigued to…
Does Your Body Reflect Success?
I I I I used to think that I was doing alright for myself. Late 20’s driving around in a top of the range Audi A6. 3 properties to our name. Jointly owned our own business with multi million £ turnover. Life was pretty cool. Nice holidays. Lots of nights away in hotels and top…

Don’t Accept Being Average
So we were out for a family meal recently and it struck me that at least 75% of the people eating in there were families – like us. So I reckon there must have been about 20 guys in there that were clearly Dads – like me. ….well they looked like I did a few…
Why Men Over 35 Need To Try More
Life felt pretty tough a few years ago. I was 35 years old. I was working 14-16 hours per day – and feeling stressed out. I was really unhealthy. Bad skin, bad diet, drinking loads of coffee to stay awake during the day, fat gut and looked at least 10 years older. At the weekends…
The First Time Always Hurts
I’m obviously talking about exercise! Yet it’s not the pain of exercise or the delayed soreness you get the following 48 hours that puts guys off getting started. It’s the perceived effort required. Not just the effort required to exercise though – it’s everything else. It’s the effort required to buy new gym gear. It’s…
Why Successful Guys Neglect Exercise
You know you should. You just know deep down inside you that you really should be doing something. It can be a bit uncomfortable when stepping out the shower and seeing that bulging waistline……but when you’re trying to ‘make it big’ in the World, this is one of the prices that has to be paid…
