On a cold February morning back in 2018, I came across a post online from someone in Cardiff looking to get out of a unit lease

​

At the time, I was running my fitness business down in Southampton

​

Things were going well… but I knew I was ready for the next step

​

So I cancelled all sessions for the day

​

Jumped in the car

​

And drove 2.5 hours to Cardiff, without telling Holly why

​

I walked into the unit, had a quick look around

​

Spoke to the owner

​

And decided on the spot 🫣 I’ll take it

​

No time to think

​

No detailed business plan

​

No perfect numbers worked out

​

Just a gut feeling that this was the move I needed to make

​

I transferred £1,000 there and then as a deposit

​

Sat back in the car thinking… “what the hell have I just done”

​

2.5 hours back to Southampton, completely in my head

​

Trying to figure out how I was going to explain it all to Holly

​

The next day, I told her everything

​

I expected fireworks 🤯

​

But instead, she just said…

​

“Okay then, let’s do it”

​

That moment changed everything for us

​

We packed up, moved to Cardiff

​

And as they say… the rest is history

​

Here’s the lesson 👇

​

Sometimes in business you’ve just got to take the leap

​

Trust yourself, even if you don’t have every answer lined up
