MINDSET, MONEY AND FREEDOM

3 Things to Change Your Life…

by Brendan Chaplin

Hey friend,

We’re into February already! How’s your 2025 going so far?

Mine has been hectic but very rewarding.

Some things to draw your attention to before we begin:

1. My Youtube Channel is now live and covering ‘the art of living’ topics such as travel and lifestyle. Check it out here. (Help me get to 100 subscribers, only a few more to go!!)

2. My Wealth and crypto newsletter is now also live. If you want to learn more about money and how to grow your weath click here. Almost 200 people already signed up.

Finally today’s MMF is a big one. I ask the question - do you want to work for the robots or lead the robots? It’s happening so you better make a decision.

And how to avoid red flag clients, the one’s that suck your energy away.

Plus more thoughts on creating the right environment for yourself.

Let’s jump into it.

MINDSET : 

Would you rather work for the Robots or lead the Robots?

The world is shifting faster than most people realise, and nowhere is that more evident than in the rise of AI. I think about my own twins, who are six years old right now, and what their lives will look like in twenty years. While no one can predict the exact future, one thing is clear, it will be dominated by AI. The question young people will have to ask themselves is simple: will they work for the robots, or will the robots work for them?

Middle management as we know it will disappear. HR decisions will be handled by AI. Employees will be reprimanded, scheduled, and monitored by AI. The people who once filled those roles will find themselves reporting to systems rather than human leaders. Entire industries, manufacturing, logistics, customer service, even teaching and healthcare will be reshaped. It is not a question of if but when.

So what should we do?

My thoughts - focus on leadership. The ability to think ahead, speak with confidence, and see opportunities where others see limitations will be the ultimate advantage. Some are born with these skills, but you can develop them. The people who thrive in an AI-driven world will not be those who simply learn how to use AI. It will be those who know how to command it, direct it, and create new opportunities with it.

So what about you? When you look ahead, do you see yourself reporting to the robots or leading them? That choice is being made right now, and it starts with how you think, how you act, and how you position yourself for the future.

MONEY:

One of the biggest shifts in business is realising that not every client is a good client. In fact, some clients will drain your energy, demand more than they are willing to pay for, and make your business less enjoyable. These are red flag clients, and the most powerful move you can make is saying no to them.

Too many people take on the wrong clients out of fear. Fear of missing revenue, fear of not having enough work, fear of turning someone away. But every red flag client you accept comes at a cost. They consume time and energy that could be spent attracting and working with great clients. Instead of building a business you enjoy, you end up stuck in a cycle of frustration, dealing with people you would rather not be around.

The shift is simple. Define exactly who you want to work with. Set clear criteria for the type of client that excites you and energises you. And then stick to it. If a prospect gives off red flags, trust your instincts and move on. That space you keep open will be filled by the right people.

A thriving business is not just about making money. It is about making money in a way that aligns with who you are and how you want to operate. Saying no to the wrong clients is not a loss, it is a step toward building a business that works on your terms.

FREEDOM:

Change Your Environment, Change Your Life

I have talked a lot about environment recently, how we moved to Spain and why. The reason is simple. Environment is one of the biggest levers for change. People obsess over acquiring new skills and knowledge, but if they stay in the wrong environment, none of it matters.

You can read all the books in the world, but if you are surrounded by negative people, a toxic culture, or a routine that keeps you stuck, you will not make progress. The fastest way to create change is to change your environment. That doesn’t mean you have to move to a different country. It could be as simple as joining a different gym, spending time with different people, or setting up your workspace in a way that makes you feel inspired instead of drained.

The environment you put yourself in dictates your results far more than most people realise. The question is, are you in the right one? Is the place you live, the people you surround yourself with, and the daily rhythm of your life supporting your goals or holding you back? If the answer is no, the next move is obvious.

Your freedom starts with your surroundings. If you want a different result, start by changing where you operate. The rest will follow.

Let me know how you get on :)
