KEY TAKEAWAYS
I chose health over being successful and I think there are many people out there who are scared of making the choice but the reality when I took a break for 90 days was I got much faster, more focused and sharper when working.
One Year No Beer was born from the experiences of myself and my business partner and in the first year we gave away all our content.
It's about an exponential difference over a single choice - do you want to drink yes or no?
The choice over alcohol isn't just tiny it's a polar opposite and that's why you see a massive transformation.
This is not just ‘don't drink' we have created a program that helps you change your relationship with alcohol. We knew when we started it had to be completely different.
We wanted to keep growing and we started the ball rolling with crowdfunding
We then looked for seed investors and were able to raise 1.1 million in 5 weeks
There has been phenomenal growth in a very short amount of time.
We have a big job to do and we have an incredible team pulling out all the stops.
We are all programmed and conditioned through society, peer pressure and social conditioning that alcohol is a positive thing in society.
At the core of what we've created is a behaviour change platform to help people change their relationship with alcohol surrounded by a peer network.
You will connect with people having a great time without needing a poison or a drug.
The ambassador model gives our members the opportunity to create a lifestyle business championing this movement.
It's not about alcohol, it's about getting people to focus on their personal development.
We've got a massive opportunity to make a real impact on the world.
There are 3 main factors in addictive behaviour
Meaning and purpose – there was none as an oil broker but now I could not get more connected.
Environment – I was born on an island but was in a place where I couldn't get to the sea. If you are feeling disconnected from your environment then find small ways to reconnect.
Connection – true connection is when we spend time with loved ones and spending time connecting with other human beings.
One year no beer created a global tribe and facilitated the connection with people who are on the same journey and that why it's so transformational.
The higher purpose we are trying to achieve is a connected society.
