This morning for the first time in a long while I woke up and didn't check my social media.

Instead - I revisited where my journey began a few years ago listening to "Motivation Daily, Motiversity" on Spotify……..I'm still listening as I write this.

I'm getting back on track both literally and figuratively.

After reading Steven Green post this morning …I reflected on how small we actually are in the grand scheme of things….. We're just tiny specks in the universe - and I've been putting too much pressure on myself……….Feeling overwhelmed doesn't help me - so I'm stripping things back and returning to basics…..

- Set goals
- Meditate
- Practice gratitude
- Stretch
- Keep things simple
- Stop overthinking
- Remember that other people's opinions are non of my business ….. 6 & 9
- Focus
- Embrace failure as part of the journey
- Work hard but have fun

I feel great this morning.!!!!!!

I may have fallen……..but I fell on my back - If you can look up - you can get up.

Every setback is a setup for a comeback.

"Overwhelm isn't a sign to quit……it's a reminder to realign and refocus."

Let's gooooooo

REFLECTION IS SO POWERFULL

I AM sat on the toilet about to go to bed and I Just wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts and feelings…..

I'm always striving to be the best version of myself that I can… and that means being open to change and willing to face the forks in the road…… If that means asking for advice or adjusting my path - then that's all part of the journey - and that is allll good.

What’s important though … is acting upon the advice I receive…. not getting defensive.. not getting uptight… not getting upset…. And this is especially when the advice comes from someone more advanced in their life journey.

Learning from their experiences is INVALUABLE

By navigating the twists and turns and trusting the process - I truly believe that I'll eventually get to where I need to be…..So far, acting upon my gut feelings whilst working hard and maintaining a clear goal and vision….. even when I didn't realize I had one….. has aligned everything and brought me to where I am today.

I WILL SUCCEED!!! I AN GOOD ENOUGH !!! and to the haters and doubters trying to bring me down to their level of conditioned thoughts 😂 😂 😂 I THANK YOU 🙏🏻 .

It's because of YOU that I strive…..YOU give me the power and the energy to drive to my goals and achieve my visions.

Grateful for all the support and guidance

Steven Green forever grateful mate 🤓

Another satisfied course attendee

We love the honest feed back we get.

This was for our 3 day Advanced Property Training. Learning how to invest in property using either your own money or not, and how to create a strong strategy so you pull all your money back out of the deal so you can do it again and again and again…. Not leave your deposit and refurb money in the property thinking that you have an asset.

We are different from other training providers because we improve your mindset along the way so you become the best version of yourself.

We are now an ELC AS approved training provider and attending the course through using your credits, it costs YOU less money than a night away on the p**s these days.

Deesh’s Sepsis Journey, organized by Khedidja Teape 21/09/2023

Yooooooooo

I don’t normally share this kind of stuff because of the shear amount of people that ask me to sponsor, donate, share etc is huge….. and this would mean my feed and bank account would take a battering daily.

However, a very good friend of mine who is not on social media has asked me if I can help out anyway with one of his wife’s nieces.

The story is heart breaking

So what I’m asking is a huge ask but please donate maybe one pints worth of money and have one pint less this weekend.

If this is physically not possible due to the way cost of living is at the minute then please could you atleast share this post so hopefully someone can donate # # #

It is messages like this that makes you look at your own life and think …. I don’t have such a bad life.

Thanks all # #

A man saw a snake being burned to death and decided to take it out of the fire. When he did, the snake bit him causing excruciating pain. The man dropped the snake, and the reptile fell right back into the fire.
So, the man looked around and found a metal pole and used it to take the snake out of the fire, saving its life.
Someone who was watching approached the man and said: “That snake bit you. Why are you still trying to save it?”
The man replied: “The nature of the snake is to bite, but that's not going to change my nature, which is to help.”
Do not change your nature simply because someone harms you. Do not lose your good heart, but learn to take precautions

This morning I was walking on the beach ………. And I thought I was walking in a straight line.

I stopped and looked back because I wanted to see my foot prints as I’m the only one on the beach …..

Guess what ……. I was allllll over the place.

THIS MADE ME SMILE!!!

WHY?????

BECAUSE … THIS……IS ……… REALITY !!!

You think you are walking in a straight line in life - you see your goal/vision and you walk straight. Things happen that push you off course - in my case this morning it was the wind, uneven ground, an ankle reconstruction and picking Jimmys ball up to throw.

In life things like death, money, breakups, financial crisis, addiction, weather etc force us all off our journey to the goal/vision.

What I had forgotten and what looking back at my footprints on the beach made me remember was …….

ASLONG AS YOU PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER AND MOVE FORWARD YOU ARE GETTING TO YOUR DESTINATION - IF YOU STOP AND GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING TO MAKE THAT LINE PERFECT YOU WILL NEVER GET THERE.

GOING LEFT AND RIGHT WHILST MOVING FORWARD WILL TAKE LONGER BUT ATKEAST YOU ARE NOT DOING THE SAME ROUTE EVERY DAY - BECAUSE THAT S**T WILL GET YOU NOWHERE

HAPPY FRIDAY MOFOS

Do one thing that makes you smile today and every day # #

I will be doing a live to explain more shortly so I can explain in a bit more detail

But

If you have been following me for a while and know what I am doing and where I am heading keep reading.

I have given up my business in building for customers and jumped in the deep end in my big boy panties to go into full time property development.

Now……..

I am looking for investors that could be time poor but cash rich to go into a partnership or just sit around and watch me earn money for them.

Great returns from your money …… certainly better than any banks can provide you. Assets like cars or paintings are great investments but…. They don’t earn you any money until you die. I can provide you with a very good return from your money within 6 to 12 months

If this is something you are interested in then message me your name and how much you can potentially invest with me - all contractual and safe as houses

Private message me or send a message to

Our Story


Not all tradesman that work for/with the company are ex serving members of the military. However, our tradesman are hand picked and share the same work ethics, professionalism and standards that the military provide. We are honest and trustworthy


Set up by a former Royal Engineer corporal Gregg Norton who runs the company and carries out most of the works himself. After qualifying as an NVQ level 2 Joiner and Carpenter in 2000, Gregg travelled the world with the Royal Engineers on construction tours to places like the Balkans and Iraq. After gaining experience, not only in his own trade but several others, he went on to qualify as an NVQ level 3 Joiner and Carpenter before having to leave the forces due to a severe ankle injury. He was given a ressettlement package where he gained the experience as a plumber. Since then Gregg has gained more trade experience - basic electrics, plastering etc

Due to the knowledge and experience of several trades he can project manage a whole job from start to finish and make sure that all the employees are producing a perfect finish.
