Uncharted Performance

I lead driven individuals to find direction, create strategies and accelerate toward the greatest ve I help driven individuals to fulfil their true potential.

To create a robust, strong and durable body. To forge a tough, resilient and flexible mindset. And to effectively lead and communicate with those around them, and those who would depend on them. If you’re reading this.. The chances are that you feel like you’re currently living to 10% of your true potential...

If you have no interest in expanding on that, living life on your terms, challenging yourself and breaching the door of your true capability, then stop reading here. This is not for you. But if you're the person who knows they can achieve more.. Who has worked hard, professionally. Who has shown, in a former life, you have the fortitude and capability to be a physical specimen.. But has, for some reason, fallen in to bad habits, negative self talk and a state of low-self confidence? Then this is for you. We can lead you to not only re-gain your former glory, but surpass it.

You think you’re wasting minutes when you pick up your phone.

It’s just a quick scroll, right?

Just a reel.

Just a headline.

But add it up.

Hours turn into days.

Days turn into months.

Months turn into years.

I saw my own screen time report.

At the current pace, I was set to waste 17 years of my life staring at my phone.

Seventeen years.

Not creating.

Not building.

Not laughing with friends.

Not looking at the sky.

Looking down.

That’s the real cost of distraction.

Not minutes lost.

A life wasted.

The paradox of privilege.

When we’re doing well in life…

We pursue temporary pleasures that take us further away from our core.

From seeing who we are…

From knowing what we want…

And from exercising control over how we live our lives.

We engage a hyper-people pleasing state at work.

We numb ourselves with food and alcohol, calling it ‘luxury’.

We take our family for granted as they bear the brunt of our work-fuelled frustration.

We abandon our own needs & wants, including our health and wellness - to ‘get ahead’.

But in crisis and times of hardship…

We are compelled to act in ways that actually meet our deepest needs.

We connect meaningfully with others.

We stop taking our health for granted.

We slow down to appreciate what we have…

Instead of always ‘wanting more’.

The well man wants for 1,000 things.

The sick man only wants for one.

I suggest you don’t wait for the diagnosis.

When asked what experiences really made me who I am…

I wouldn’t answer “the easy times, the lovely holidays or times I felt content”.

They brought me joy, for sure.

I can say with complete honesty…

That almost everything I have learned in my 34 years on this earth.

Everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my life…

Has been through affliction, struggle and adversity.

Some instances have been voluntary.

Others sadly were not.

But nonetheless - I have not learned much through comfort, contentment or in coasting.

Nor will you.

Transformation happens in the valley and on the climb…

Because something, that had thus far been useful in keeping you comfortable, dies.

That thing is the ego ideal.

The version of yourself that you’re trying desperately to present to the world.

It prevents you finding the person you really are.

No one thinks they’re going to be the person who will quit.

Every man thinks he’d be capable, should be need to be.

Or that they’re ‘destined for more’ and ‘can do better’.

Few actually enter the arena to find out.

Will you?

Success loves decisions.

Success loves action.

Success loves progress.

The inverse is also true.

Delaying decisions, avoiding action and tolerating plateaus leads to getting stuck.

I call this “playing to not lose”, versus “playing to win”.

You’re letting fear win.

Your fears are almost always imagined.

“What if I fail?”

“What if I go broke?”

“What if I look stupid?”

“What if I’m not good enough?”

“What if I ruins what I’ve got now?”.

That’s your unconscious mind trying to keep you safe.

But it is not reality.

You must learn to stop identifying so closely with your thoughts…

Another of the many mental performance skills we teach inside uncharted.

If you’ve found yourself spinning your wheels, getting frustrated and feeling stuck…

Ask yourself how many uncomfortable decisions you’ve made lately.

Or what action you’ve taken to really move the needle.

Success leaves clues.

When everything is important…

Nothing is.

It’s easy to convince yourself every item on the list matters.

Every email is urgent.

Every task is critical.

Zoom out.

Most of it won’t matter in a week.

Even less in a year.

The problem isn’t a lack of effort.

It’s a lack of focus.

You don’t need to add more.

You need to cut.

Relentlessly.

Because clarity comes from deciding what not to do.

“Every plateau is self inflicted”.

Wise words from a former mentor of mine.

“You’ve either stopped learning…

Stopped executing…

Or you’re protecting a level of comfort.”

You feel like you “get away” with 80% at work.

You have enough free time and cash to live a decent life.

And you don’t want to rock that boat, despite knowing you can do, be and achieve better.

Growth only happens when you face what you’ve been avoiding.

You’ll only face it when someone holds up the mirror and calls you out on it.

That’s why accountability is at the core of uncharted performance.

Who’s holding up the mirror to you?

03/11/2025

I know why you’re stressed.

More to the point - so do you.

There’s actions you’re avoiding.

Decisions you’re delaying.

You’re not stressed because of work..

You’re stressed because you have decisions to make and you’re not making them.

The reason you’re not making them?

Your thinking isn’t accurate.

You don’t have reliable frameworks and SOPs.

You don’t actually know what your end goal is.

So you’re living in some kind of weird hyper-people pleasing and emotionally avoidant state.

This is a prison of your own construction.

This is also why we focus so heavily on mental performance and accurate thinking within uncharted performance.

I think it’s time we call a spade, a spade.

I had a bit of a scroll on LinkedIn the other day.

Post, after post, after fu***ng post about burnout.

Some were great.

Others were less well read on the subject.

But all of it is information.

It’s dialogue, it’s discussion and it’s diagnostic of the problem.

Yet here you are…

Making decisions you know are short sighted.

It’s simple gents.

Grow a set of plums.

Is keeping yourself on screens until 9pm at night, sensible or not sensible?

Is scrolling through your emails mid-way through a Sunday with the family, sensible or not sensible?

Is consistently agreeing to 8am meetings that mean you don’t sleep the night before, sensible or not sensible?

You already know precisely what needs to be done.

Stepping outside of your comfort zone rarely means more work.

It’s doing the right thing even when it feels inconvenient.

I’m not condoning you having a tantrum.

But there is almost always something that can be done to improve your position.

If we were all less concerned with people thinking we look successful…

Perhaps we could make room for achieving our own definition of success.

If we could all develop the minerals to say ‘no’ to things that are clearly a bad idea…

Perhaps we’d have more yeses left for that which actually moves the needle.

You have agency.

Use it.

Let’s get real for a moment.

If you want to feel proud of yourself…

You need to behave in a way you’re proud of.

What I do now…

Is not what I did to get here.

I made every mistake in the book and used every excuse you’re hiding behind, too.

If you think you’re destined for more…

If you tell yourself you can do better than you are…

If you get frustrated by feeling like you’re not where you want to be…

Then the excuses have to stop.

It’s not about doing more - we both know where that ends.

It’s about doing less, better.

At the risk of coming across as arrogant…

There are few, if any, better educated and experienced to show you how to do that.

30/10/2025

We’ve confused planning with squeezing more in.

We’ve confused productivity with cramming.

That was never the point.

Planning should make life easier.

Not heavier.

If you’re already drowning under commitments…

If you already feel like you’re spinning plates…

The last thing you need is “more.”

The first thing you need is space.

The goal of productivity isn’t to add.

It’s to remove.

To strip things back until only the essentials remain.

Evaluate where your time goes.

Eliminate the distractions.

Execute on what matters.

The hard part?

Admitting most of it doesn’t matter.

But that’s where the power is.

Not in doing more.

In needing less.

28/10/2025

You need to diversify your portfolio.

A high risk investment portfolio, as many of you will know…

Will only spread it’s funds across a handful of holdings.

Whilst it can be high reward…

If any one of these holdings performs badly…

The portfolio itself is at jeopardy & losses can feel catastrophic.

Under performance threatens the whole future.

Yet this is how most of you lead your lives.

Your whole worth is invested into just one or two holdings.

Usually, work.

What you do for a living becomes the thing you build your entire identity around.

You are not a diversified person. This is high risk.

A bad week at work is all it takes to tank your stocks in yourself.

You drawn down on all other investments…

Your training becomes ‘random bouts of exercise’, if any.

Your diet resembles that of a hungover student.

Irritable with your children, absent from your wife.

When was the last time you engaged in any real hobbies…

If you can even remember what you used to like to do for fun.

The opposite is the manner in which we build emotional resilience.

Diversifying one’s portfolio by reconnecting with the other domains in life.

It is never about ‘doing more’.

It’s always about doing less, more intentionally.

Ambition is like fire.

It can heat your home and cook your food, if you’re in control.

Fail to control it?

It’ll burn your fu***ng house down.

It’s time to get back in control.
