Stepping into "With or Without Energy"

Living in this energy in 2026

A year or more ago I was listening to Daniel Priestly - an entreprenuer I’ve followed for years, he wrote the book, Key Person of Influence (IFKYK).

He was on a podcast; I’m going to say it was Diary of CEO and talked about having With or Without Energy.

It means that….

I’m doing this incredible thing - with or without you

I’m going to hit these massive goals - with or without you

You can come with me because I’m going to do it anyway and if you want to come on the ride - if you want to come on the journey then you’re welcome to, but I’m doing it with or without you.

There’s no waiting for people to get onboard.

There’s no holding tight to what others do or don’t do.

You’re on this journey, you’re doing THE THING, you’re building the business, you’re creating the outcomes, you’re going all in - with or without them.

And if they’re up for it - if they want to join you, they can.

It’s 100% connected with the law of detatchment at it’s best.

Have you heard of the law of detachement?

It’s states that…

When you detach from the outcome and focus on the input that needs to happen, the rest will look after itself.

When we feel desperate or constantly in the place of ‘trying to figure it out’, we’re holding on and trying to force the outcome - which keeps us looking, searching, spinning.

But if you take the energy you’re spending on trying to make it happen, and put that energy into doing the things that move the dial that’s when what you want actually shifts.

You have to let go of ‘the way you think it should happen’, or who you think should be on the journey with you and be open to other ways it might manifest and who might be the right people who want to join you.

And I think so often we spend so much time “preparing” or doing the bare minimum and then wonder why we’re not getting the big wins we want.

If I asked you if you think that you did everything you could do to get the outcome you wanted - would you say you did do everything?

Confession - I know that I didn’t.

2026 is about with or without energy.

It’s about the law of detachement.

It’s about creating incredible experiences, challenging my clients and working bloody hard (and playing harder) for what I want to build now.

It’s about creating your own opportunities instead of waiting for other people to give them to you.

That’s how I built my business when I first started and that’s what I’m going back to in 2026.

Stop waiting - Start creating!

What energy are you taking with you into 2026 or more importantly what are you leaving behind?

P.S. I’m thinking of turning my substack into a subscription model. My goal is to write at least 2-3+ times a week with things I’m learning, testing and doing in my business. I was listening to Dan Koe recently and one thing that he said was if you want to become GREAT at communicating your ideas, then writing every day and sharing what you’re learning, listening to and reading will help you get better. In a world of Ai slop, prioritising your own communication skills, messaging & mastering that is so important. I haven’t decided when I’ll do it, but I wanted to share my thoughts with you, my goals and why I want to master in 2026.
