Business Independence > Fireworks

Today’s Independence Day in the US.
Everyone’s talking about freedom.
But let me ask you something most won’t:

Are you actually free?

Or are you a business owner who’s still trapped?
📍 Trapped by your calendar.
📍 Trapped by staff who can’t run things without you.
📍 Trapped by funding you don’t have.
📍 Trapped by stress, doubt, and 16-hour days.

If that’s you, you don’t have a business.
You have a job… with worse hours.

🚨 Harsh Truth:

Freedom in life comes from freedom in business.
And freedom in business comes from building the right systems, having the right people, and raising the right money.

This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’ve created real independence in my life:

✅ Raising capital when I need it.
✅ Leveraging other people’s money and time.
✅ Building businesses that don’t fall apart without me.
✅ Saying no to deals and people that drain me.

You don’t get that kind of freedom by being nice.
You get it by being intentional. Strategic. And bold enough to back yourself.

🧨 Want real freedom? Build it.

So while everyone’s setting off fireworks and posting quotes today, ask yourself:

What am I doing to create actual independence in my business?

If your answer’s “not enough”, you know what to do next 👇

💸 Want to Raise Capital the Right Way?

I’ve raised over £150 million for my own businesses. Lent and invested over £750 million into others.

And I’ve seen just how many good businesses die because they don’t know how to raise the money they need.

So I built something better:
Capital Catalyst, a proven system for raising serious capital.

Whether you’re after £100k or £10 million, this will show you how to get funded without wasting time on agencies, advisors, or wishful thinking.
