Tomorrow, this book goes on sale.
And I’m not going to pretend I’m calm about it.
I’ve built 19 companies. I’ve pitched to rooms full of investors. I’ve been homeless. I’ve been a millionaire. I’ve been broke again.
None of that scares me like this does.
This is my purpose.
When I was 9, I wanted to be a BMX trick biker. I was told it wasn’t a real job. So I gave it up.
When I was 15, I was homeless. No parents. No money. No one to tell me what to do next…
@garyvee I dont give a flying fuck about anyone else well I love it when people follow their dreams and succeed but I am not envious. It just makes me want to go all out on my own stuff before I croak.
So many are stuck in a “glass half full” 🥃 mindset…envy, jealousy, resentment, longing, desire, begrudging, rivalry, yearning,spite of others isn’t allowing you to see the “good” you have … comparison to what others “have” has destroyed a generation of people over the last 20 years & that’s not technologies fault … that’s what we are allowing ourselves to “see” an the lack of humility and self love that needs to be taught and lived inside our homes 🏠 … I am passionate about talking about perspective and most of all gratitude and I hope it helps even 1 person this morning ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please leave a comment if you’ve gone through the journey of walking away from envy and leaning into gratitude 🙏
@JoJoMiracles@simonsquibb They can choose to be mean and spiteful even if they haven't actually met, wrapping it in "help" doesn't make it so, it makes it more like some new wave cult. I mean you only came along here to try and get one over me and increase my "humiliation". Great tribe! 🙄
@BYC_dev@simonsquibb I also feel that tribes/ communities form around values/purpose.
That’s why Helpbnk exists because people can choose to help each other even when they’ve never actually met. I think thats the beautiful thing about it.
@JoJoMiracles@simonsquibb Tribes were in person and local, you can't claim an online collection of people is ever going to be a tribe. They certainly don't act like it, happy to see their own fail. No tribe ever blocked their own online 😂. All you are chasing is weak virtue signalling "help" fiction
@BYC_dev@simonsquibb May be so for some but not everyone. Neuroscience as well as anthropological research points to humans being hard wired to be connected and tribal. So tribe is not nonsense at all. However the same drivers can be opposite for some, think tribes that come together for bad.
@simonsquibb You make your own luck and you were looking out for her so that she got the value she deserved for her work, I wish I had someone who could use my skills, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness 🥰
I didn’t ask my wife to marry me.
She asked me. And I said yes before she finished the sentence.
23 years later, I still feel like she’s out of my league.
In a world where people swipe left and right, we’ve been together 23 years. And just like building a business, it hasn’t been perfect. But it’s been worth it.
When people talk about my success, 19 companies built, 81 investments, selling to PwC, they talk about me.
But the truth is, none of it happened without Helen…
@simonsquibb 50k I'm making a safe communication device for kids that opens up spontaneous play opportunities, because they don't just go and knock on each others doors anymore.
So @elonmusk is wrong, money can buy you happiness…. If you are already happy.
Money just made me more happy.
Now I love giving it away.

What’s your dream?! 🤔
@simonsquibb Not that I can see that list anymore because I've been harshly censored..
The list hardly ever changes, it has been close to that amount for ages...
Your team spends too long looking for "worthy" people than focusing on human kindness, trust & belief.

What’s your dream? 👇🏻
(Ps. To see list of people I have funded so far download the “what’s your dream” app)
Money doesn’t bring happiness. It brings options. And if you don’t already have purpose, those options just amplify the emptiness.
So I sold the Porsche and stopped all the meaningless spending.
Now if I buy something, it’s because it means something.
I try and live like I’m poor and I’m happier that way. And before I die, I will give all my money away.
Purpose first. Money second.
That’s the way to a happy life.
Selling my company was supposed to be the best moment of my life.
It wasn’t.
After I sold my company, I did exactly what you think I’d do.
I bought a Porsche. A big house. A personal trainer five days a week.
And for the first time in my life, I was spending money on me instead of pouring it back into the business.
I thought I’d made it. All the years of hard work and risk, had been for this…
I will give one of my X followers £500 from the profit of my book today.
Plus 1 on 1 chat with the winner.
Tell me your dream below.
I will pick one winner (maybe 2!)
Follow your dreams!

@simonsquibb What an absolute scam, you'll only get a fiver if you praise the almighty Helpbnk, say anything they don't like and they ban you, you big babies 😂
They’re not listening. And last week, it got worse.
New amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill give local authorities more control over families who want to home educate.
Under these proposed changes, families will be required to meet with their Local Authority before deregistering their child from school - often with the child present.
Imagine a child who is burnt out, anxious, or in crisis being asked to sit in a meeting designed to dissuade their family from home education.
Also incudes are new powers allowing Local Authority home visits shortly after home education to consider where the child lives. This is a serious intrusion into private family life and one that risks creating fear and distress, not support.
These amendments don’t build trust with families.
They increase pressure on those already struggling.
This Saturday, families from across the country are coming to London to say enough is enough.
There is a peaceful protest to defend parental rights, protect home education, and demand policies that actually put our children’s wellbeing first.
If you can be there, please go.
If you can’t, share this.
Children’s wellbeing comes from support, not control.
