MINDSET, MONEY AND FREEDOM

3 Things to Change Your Life…

by Brendan Chaplin

Hey friend,

Every week I observe, I listen, and I make notes. I pay attention to what's working and what's not, in coaching, service-based entrepreneurship, and the kind of lifestyle design we’re all aiming for.

Then I bring you three themes, one for each pillar of this newsletter: Mindset, Money, and Freedom so you can apply them and move forward.

Here’s what we’ve got this week:

1. MINDSET: Your environment will either drag you up or pull you down.

2. MONEY: Focus follows belief. What you believe, you’ll prioritise.

3. FREEDOM: Rest isn’t laziness. It might be the thing that saves you.

Let’s go.

MINDSET : TALL POPPY SYNDROME IS REAL…

This week, Tom Blomfield, founder of Monzo Bank, came out publicly about why he’s now based in the US. The answer was simple, the UK drags you down.

He said the reason he moved to the States was because in the UK, success attracts scrutiny, negativity, and cynicism. In the US, success is admired. Encouraged. Amplified.

Now this isn’t a UK vs USA rant, I’m British, you’re probably British, and we both know there are pockets of brilliance and ambition back home.

But the lesson is this: environment shapes your identity.

If you're constantly around people who criticise, undermine, and downplay what you're building, you start to believe their version of you.

You don’t notice how much it’s holding you back, until you leave.

When I moved to Spain, I thought I knew what would happen. The lifestyle, the sun, the food.
But I didn’t realise how much my environment would change me.

The rhythm of life. The conversations. The expansion of energy.

Design your environment for success. Your people, your space, your calendar. And start now.
Because if you wait, you’re wasting months, even years, of your life in the wrong place, around the wrong energy.

MONEY: IT’S NOT ABOUT FOCUS IT’S ABOUT BELIEF

We will get what we focus on. We know this.
But focus is just the output. The product of something deeper.

What you focus on comes from what you believe in.
And what you believe in comes from what you believe you’re capable of.

Take people who want to make more money. On the face of it they’re ready.
But underneath it? They don’t believe they’re “money people.”
They believe money’s for someone else.

And so they self-sabotage. They choose busywork. They avoid asking for the sale.

If you want to change your financial results, you don’t need more focus. You need more belief.

This is where conviction comes in. In the investment world, there’s a saying:
You can’t rent conviction.

You can’t just hear someone say “Bitcoin is going to 10x” and suddenly believe it.
You have to do the work yourself. Study. Understand. Decide.

It’s the same in business.
You have to go deep on your own abilities. Believe in your product. Believe in your value.
And when you do, the money follows.

FREEDOM: WHAT IF DEPRESSION IS…

I came across something this week I wanted to share.

A psychologist suggested that depression isn’t always what we think it is.
That sometimes, depression is a signal.

Deep. Rest.

A call from the body and mind to slow down, stop running, and reset.

Now I’m not a doctor, and if you’re struggling, go and speak to someone.
But I am someone who’s lived through the grind, the hustle, the push.

And I know this…

We ignore the signs. We override the signals.
We keep going when our body is screaming for a reset.

Freedom isn’t just about doing what you want. It’s about having the awareness to know when to pause.

So if you’re feeling flat, if the world feels heavier than usual, don’t label it as laziness.
Maybe it’s time for deep rest.

Ask yourself:

• What do I need to recharge right now?

• What am I trying to push through that needs a pause instead?

• What would rest look like this week that actually fuels me again?

Because real freedom starts with awareness.

See you next week,
Brendan
