Sam Bowen - From Burnout to Energy
Before
I had started my business 12 months previous, and despite my initial excitement, the reality was I wanted to grow faster. I had set my sights on having enough revenue to pay the bills and was getting involved in far too many daily tasks that didn’t excite me. This is not what I had envisioned when setting up the business.
Sam's main challenges
I was working alone running my business, and found myself getting in my own head. I wanted to connect with like minded people. Also, In truth I was guilty of taking my time to make decisions, was overly cautious, which I was starting to recognise was stifling my growth. However, this was how I had always been and I questioned whether it was possible to change these engrained habits.
The coaching
Toolkit
Gaining access to the toolkit gave me powerful insights into myself. It inspired me to aim higher, silence self-doubt, and grow in confidence. I began handling business challenges with more ease and resilience.
Community
Joining Tony’s weekly calls connected me with like-minded business owners. Hearing their challenges and solutions gave me clarity and inspiration. These sessions became a weekly boost of energy and motivation, and I formed valuable new connections.
Accountability
Working through content with Tony helped me develop a growth mindset, even when it was challenging. Regular check-ins pushed me to take action sooner, and consistent small steps began to build lasting change.
The results
Firstly I feel genuinely excited about where I am taking my business. I have that fire back, and I have created a vision which I believe I will achieve. I have taken action which I just would never have taken, such as outsourcing tasks which I don’t enjoy which has freed up time. I am also now looking at an office space, which is scary, but feels right.
My business is growing quicker, and I am now being viewed as more of an industry expert, and I feel I have really turned a corner.
Having worked with Tony for 6 months, I don’t want to stop here, and so have recently joined his membership community. This community is positive and uplifting and I have realised that when you surround yourself with individuals with a growth mindset this rubs off on you. I am excited about what the future may hold, and am very grateful that despite my initial reservations, I invested in myself and worked with Tony
Simon Handley - The Power of Purpose
Before
The absence of motivation has become a persistent issue, making it increasingly difficult to set and achieve business goals. It has resulted in a tendency to procrastinate and a lack of enthusiasm to pursue growth opportunities. This lack of clarity is hindering the ability to develop and adapt to evolving circumstances. The constant drain of energy was becoming a major obstacle in managing the day-to-day operations of the business.
Simon's main challenges
Facing these personal challenges whilst developing my company made me feel negative, I knew something had to changed. From my first call with Tony, I know I had to invest – it had already forced me to reconsider and reshape the way I perceive my business. My struggle with motivation, mental clarity, and energy has underscored the need for a transformative shift in my approach. It’s become evident that a new perspective, one that renews my motivation, enhances mental acuity, and rejuvenates my energy, is essential for overcoming these obstacles and steering my business towards growth.
The coaching
Toolkit
Through daily videos and workbooks, Tony provided structure and clarity that deeply influenced my mindset. His weekly sessions encouraged meaningful reflection, helping me align my goals in both business and family life. This process sparked greater optimism, motivation, and business momentum.
Community
Group sessions and a supportive app created space for idea-sharing and focus. Whether launching, growing, or transitioning a business, the community offered tailored support for a variety of goals.
Accountability
Tony emphasised accountability, ensuring each session led to clarity and purpose. This consistent guidance created a powerful and lasting impact.
The results
The guidance, support and positivity that Tony has instilled in my daily routines has been instrumental in a massive shift in my mindset. I am more open to taken calculated risks and I have re-energised to start scaling and meet the demands that this brings.
I had been looking for some time to surround myself with other positive, ambitious business owners with a real growth mindset. This is exactly what Tony’s Katalyst Growth Community is like and I remain a very active member. This has had an incredibly positive impact on my mindset and has inspired me to take the necessary action to grow my business. Also my personal relationships to include my relationship with my wife is the best it has ever been too.
Brian O'Connell -
Before
I had worked in financial services for 15 years. This is all I had known. I was working in a business where I did not feel supported or valued, and I wanted so much more. However, alongside this, (during the pandemic) I started my first business, initially as a side hustle, building garden rooms, which was inspired after I had successfully built my own garden office a few years before.
Deep down I wanted to walk away from my financial planning role, I was worried. This felt like such a big move, and what happened if things didn’t work out.
Brian's main challenges
I was unhappy at work, was also guilty of giving myself a hard time, and deep down wanted to be in control of my own destiny.
The coaching
Tool Kit
Upon joining, Tony gave me access to some incredibly powerful content which helped me to start focusing on possibilities. I had recently developed some bad habits, and this content helped me to feel more positive and expectant, and to build a much better daily routine.
Community
Tony was an excellent sounding board, and he would help me to identify practical steps I could take to accelerate my progress. Also, rather than go through this alone, I was surrounded by other individuals who had similar challenges. I looked forward to the weekly sessions, which were excellent.
Accountability
In the past I was guilty of procrastinating, however I became more focused and disciplined. Also, committing to ACTIONS in front of Tony and the rest of the community helped create momentum. I did not want to get left behind and so started doing what I said I would do.
The results
During our time working together, I built up the confidence to leave my role as a financial adviser. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. I then invested all my time and energy in my business (Cedar Spaces), and this has gone from strength to strength. This has not always been plane sailing, however I am able to spot problems quicker, and to shift my mindset and continue to use everything I learnt with Tony, today. I feel happier at home with my family, and am genuinely excited about where I can take my business.
I worked with Tony for 6 months, which gave me the kick start I needed. This was he first time I invested in myself, however in hindsight this was a no brainer. I remain part of one of Tony’s communities, which is positive and uplifting, and also am still in touch with a number of the individuals that I met through Tony. Thank you Tony
Mark Longman
Before
I had worked in the Banking industry for over 20 years and this was a sector I had almost fallen into. If I am honest, I had completely lost that spark, and was struggling with stress, and at times would also take things out on my family. I thought that my role was to provide for my family, and this was my priority.
Mark's main challenges
I was now in my early 40’s and was lacking motivation, energy, and most days were a real struggle. This resulted in getting into bad habits with exercise, diet, and I would regularly give myself a hard time. Tony shared stories of clients who he has worked with that had transitioned to a completely different career by following their true passions, and at first, I did not believe this was possible.
The coaching
Tool Kit
Upon joining, Tony shared an incredible toolkit focused on mindset and personal growth, including daily videos and workbooks. For the first time in my life, I started to think seriously about what I truly wanted — both in my career and personal life. We pinpointed exactly how I’d been holding myself back, my energy levels increased, and I began to believe in myself. I took action quicker than ever before.
Community
I also joined a private community of individuals facing similar challenges. I was sceptical at first, but it turned out to be one of the most valuable parts of the experience. I met amazing people and each week received new ideas and encouragement from others who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. I looked forward to our weekly sessions and always left feeling inspired.
Accountability
Tony held me accountable. I stopped making excuses, stopped feeling sorry for myself, and started taking the kind of action that truly changed everything. Looking back, the progress I made in just six months was far beyond anything I could have imagined.
The results
Looking back during our time working together, I identified a business in a profession (Football) that I have loved all my life. I got fitter and healthier and develop much better habits. I have to pinch myself, as I have left my corporate career and am NOW running this football business full time. It’s crazy as in the summer just gone, in 8 days I wrote more business, than I used to earn in 3 months in my banking career. And there was me thinking that I could not replicate the income I was used too.
Even after finishing working with Tony we have stayed in touch and I am part of one his private communities, which I find super helpful. I continue to have doubts at times, however with everything I have learnt, I know HOW to get myself back on track, and am very excited for the future.
