In my imperfect life and career so far, here are some of the lowlights:
- Sticking at being a broke musician for a few years too long
- Believing my first wife when she said “for as long as we both shall live”
- Turning away a business opportunity that made millions for someone else
- Selling my own 8-figure business to a bunch of incompetent hucksters
- Squandering my remaining wealth in pursuit of material pleasures
- Going bankrupt after a decade-long taste of the international highlife
- Succumbing to a campaign of parental alienation that almost finished me off
- Mired in misery, questioning my self-worth for another 10 years
And then…
I met the current Mrs C, started a new family and an upgraded Jonny emerged.
My 2017 business, Everyone Hates Marketing, helped over 1500 coaches and therapists get their businesses off the line.
Then just last year, I left the UK for the Mediterranean paradise of Gibraltar and launched CIB Global, rapidly becoming a serious player in the world of corporate wellbeing, with over 60 skilled consultants onboard.
Useful lessons from my 68-year perspective:
1: Shit happens. All the time, and to everyone
2: How you react to it is entirely up to you
3: It ain’t over till it’s over. If you’re reading this you’re still alive, so get to it.
Love you lots
Jonny
PS: If you’re tired of over-demanding, under-paying 1-2-1 clients, joining us in CIB is a serious upgrade you might want to consider.
