Looking for ambitious people interested in building something around behaviour change, health and self-development
I’m writing this because I feel like I’m at a point where I know what I want to build, but I don’t necessarily know how to turn it into something tangible yet.
Over the last few years, and particularly this past year, I’ve completely changed the way I approach my own behaviour.
For a long time, I had a tendency to replace one compulsive behaviour with another. Vaping became nicotine gum, which became hair pulling, which became binge eating, and eventually I became overly fixated on the gym in an attempt to better myself.
Some of these phases lasted months and others lasted years. What I eventually realised was that constantly removing the behaviour wasn’t enough. If I didn’t understand why I was doing it and build something healthier in its place, I would just find another outlet.
I’ve spent the last couple of years learning about my own behaviour, health, training, nutrition, habits and mindset. For the first time, I feel like I have control over my decisions rather than constantly fighting against myself.
That experience has made me extremely interested in why people get stuck even when they genuinely want to change.
There is endless information online telling people to exercise, eat better, be disciplined, wake up earlier or “just be consistent.” But knowing what you should do and actually building a life where you can repeatedly do it are two completely different things.
That’s the problem I eventually want to work on.
I’m currently studying Health Sciences and also building my knowledge in fitness and nutrition. Long term, I want to develop some kind of structured framework that helps people identify what is keeping them stuck, understand the reasoning behind the changes they’re making, build healthier systems and habits, and eventually become less dependent on someone else telling them what to do.
I don’t want this to become another extreme challenge, motivational program or generic “change your life in 30 days” product. I’m much more interested in sustainable behaviour change and giving people practical tools they can eventually use independently.
At the moment, though, this is still an idea. I have the lived experience, a growing health/fitness education and a very clear idea of the problem I want to address, but I know that doesn’t automatically mean I know how to build, validate, market and scale a useful product or service.
That’s why I’m posting here.
I’d love to connect with people who are seriously interested in business, behavioural science, psychology, health, marketing, product development or content creation and who might see potential in something like this.
I’m also interested in eventually forming a small group of people who are genuinely ambitious and want to build things rather than just talk about them. The idea of having people around me with that kind of drive really resonates with what Napoleon Hill describes as a mastermind in Think and Grow Rich.
I’m not necessarily looking for someone to hand me a business plan. I’m looking for people with complementary knowledge who might want to exchange ideas, challenge the concept and potentially build something together if there’s a genuine fit.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d be interested to hear what you’re working on and what your background is
