Hey my friend, Ewan here. Welcome to "My Story", im about to share some key moments in my life, the good times and the out and out shit times. Some of it is very personal but i want you to see the "Real Me"
Im just a normal guy, i get up and put my pants on, sometimes i put my left leg in first, sometimes its my right, sometimes i put both in at the same time. I often get extremely excited and forget to put them on at all :)
Im partial to the odd emotional moment and im one of the most determined creatures you will ever meet. Im also bullet proof, i believe you have to be, life throws all sorts of stuff at you and there are 2 options, a/ lay down and take it or b/ get up and throw it back. Choose option a and you will become "roadkill" pretty fast. I hate hype & BS. Im a tell it how it is kinda guy, if your ass looks big in those jeans, deal with it.

I love triathlon and anything health and fitness related, personal development & leadership, im a PPC junky and an avid student of copywriting. I have been know to do the odd bit of investing too
The Early Years
Untill i was 7, it was just me and mum, we didnt have much but we were happy. I visited my dad every weekend but spent most of it with my amazing grand parents as my dad worked very long hours on the farm. He is an extremely hard worker and his whole life has been devoted to work but his "every penny is a prisoner" attitude coupled with mum and me being broke, made sure i had a pretty f**ked up financial education.
Struggles and a poverty mindset were engrained from a young age which was to prove hard to re-wire later. I attribute my dogged determination to my mother, who pulled us through some pretty tough times, which i will be forever greatful for. Entwined through the tough times was also a whole lot of fun.
My School Days
I could write a whole book on the fun i had at school, but i will keep it short. My time there was freekin awesome, not a care in the world. Where else could you spend all day with 20 of your buddies, half of which were girls :) It was 8 hrs a day of comic genius and belly laughter. I later realised however, it wasnt meant to be. I was a pretty good football (soccer) player and everyone said i would go pro, so i wasnt all that interested in an education.
3 months before my 16th birthday i got kicked out of school and told i couldnt sit my exams, like that was a punishment!! I wasnt a "bad kid" i just thought being silly was waaay more fun than school work.
The Dark Times
Since leaving school, i had been working full time on the farm, my biggest week had been 147 hrs. After a few years of this i had reached breaking point. Standing in mums kitchen after a 16hr day, broken, in tears, wondering if this was it, was this all there was for me? Staring at another 50 years of that looked pretty damn scary from where i was standing. There had to be something better.
I Dont Want To Bore Ya, Soooo....
To cut a long story short, i have had many different jobs, from the farm, to a football coach with Aberdeen Football Club to Manager of a sports centre. I noticed pretty fast that i was gonna have to sacrifice one of two things, time or money. To make any money, i had to work long hours and jobs that gave me plenty spare didnt gimme much money. It sucked
Cue the entrepreneurial spirit
It was gonna be up to me, so after several business attempts, which have led me to meet some freekin cool people that i have picked up a whole lotta skills and knowledge from...
Here i go :)
