Cheatcode #45: The Gap that's killing your progress.


P.S If you’re actively running a business, I've got something special for you at the bottom. Keep reading.

Something to make you think.

"It’s never you vs everyone else. It’s just you vs everyone’s opinion.

So why is their opinion better than yours?"

Something to make you act.

I’ve recently been reading a book called Bumpers.


It’s written by Nic Peterson, the guy who taught Alex Hormozi the model of doing gym turnarounds.


One of the most impactful things in the book is something called the intention- intervention gap.


This is the gap between what you want to do and what your behaviour suggests you want to do.


The below is an excerpt from the book.

Here is how to interpret this intention - intervention gap.

We feel anxious when there's a gap between what we say we want and how we actually behave.

A wider gap makes us feel powerless, while a narrower gap tightens the feedback loop between our expectations and reality, making us feel more in control.

Simply put, many of us feel helpless because our actions don't match our stated goals.

Wanting to get fit but eating unhealthily.

Wanting to earn more but spending time unproductively.

How to solve this? Act immediately.

Whenever you set an intention, take the smallest step toward it.

Over time, consistently closing this gap builds confidence and reduces anxiety.

Reduce the gap. Feel better about yourself.


The 90-Second Newsletter That Gets You More Customers – Reply 'TT' to Join.

Over the past few months, this community has covered everything from mindset to career growth to business strategy.

"Give me tactical, no-fluff business advice that I can actually use in my business."

That’s why I’m launching Tactical Tuesdays—a free super short email (90 seconds max) packed with one hyper-actionable marketing or sales tactic you can implement immediately to get more customers.

No fluff. No filler. Just pure, tactical execution.

Below is an example of the type of email you’ll get:

How to get customers using controversy marketing:

  1. Find a reddit group or Facebook Group about a niche problem your customer has.
  2. Post a controversial post about this problem.
  3. Use alternative accounts to argue with yourself in the replies.
  4. This will encourage other people to debate (people love getting involved in debates!)
  5. This will boost the algorithm to show your content to more people.
  6. Plug the link to your product mid debate.
  7. Use the drama to make free sales.

That’s it. That's the email.

Who is this for?
👉 If your business is already doing £20k+/month and you’re serious about scaling, this is for you.

Reader, This week has been a reminder: we don’t have forever. And because of that I really want to encourage you to go for it. Whatever 'it' looks like for you whether it's making your first hire, quitting that job, going on that date...taking that holiday. Just do it. Something to make you think: I’ve actually been thinking about Steve Jobs lately. Do you remember his final note before he died? “At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realise that all the...

Morning, Hope you’ve had an amazing week, smashing goals and setting the bar higher. So… my product launch is finally behind us, and I’ve been doing some reflecting (as always 😅). Some things went really well, and others… well, let’s just say they went hilariously sideways. Like, the kind of wrong you have to laugh at or you’ll cry. But hey, that’s also the game, right? In the spirit of celebrating both the wins and the “what-was-that-even?” moments, I’ve got something special for you this...

You just need to take action. When people get stuck and desperately want to get out, they wonder what to do. They spend so much time wondering what to do that they become even more stuck. Yet, the answer is right there in front of them. Action. It's always action." Something to make you act. One of...
