Welcome to the carnivore Entrepreneur Show where health unlocks true wealth. It's time to reclaim your strength, ignite your energy, and live life with purpose, master your body, sharpen your mind and dominate your path. Live life how it's supposed to be, lived on your terms. Let's go chapter 10 is your daily environment secretly undermining your success. The wealthiest people I know have one thing in common. It's not their morning routine, it's not their diet, it's not even their work ethic, it's their environment. Fix your environment or fail. It's that simple, as James clear writes, in atomic habits, you do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. Your environment is your system. It's the invisible roadmap that either propels you towards success or drags you down to mediocrity. I learned this truth in the most expensive way possible when we caught our head of operations, costing nearly 200,000 pounds to our business in 2024 he was someone I trusted completely. He'd been in my home and even watched my children. What's fascinating about this story isn't the fraud itself, but how we caught him. In 2023 we started creating better systems. We hired financial staff and put proper checks in place. These improvements made his fraud visible within just two months. This taught me something powerful. Your environment doesn't just prevent problems, it reveals them. A good environment brings hidden issues to light before they become disasters. This idea goes beyond just stopping fraud. It affects every part of your life, your body, mind and bank account, ultimately, your entire definition of true wealth, the four environments that shape your success. Most entrepreneurs focus on only improving themselves, like learning new skills and building discipline. That's important, but it's only half the story. The truth is, four key environments shape our success. Physical environment, where you live, work and move. Social environment, the people around you. Digital environment, your technology and information intake. Financial environment, your money systems. Each environment either pushes you towards success or pulls you away. There's no middle ground Action Step. Take inventory of your four environments, rate each from one to 10, which one needs the most immediate attention your physical environment, where health and wealth begin in 2023 during my cash flow crunch, I noticed something important as my finances got messy, so did my physical spaces, processed foods filled. My kitchen was only going through the motions. At the gym, my office became cluttered. Your physical environment doesn't just reflect your current state, it creates your future state. Here's how to design spaces that automatically boost your health and wealth. Your kitchen the energy factory. Your kitchen creates the fuel for your success. Design it with these simple rules. See healthy foods First, keep proteins visible and processed foods hidden or removed. Prepare in advance. Pre cook proteins and cut vegetables ahead of time. Make Healthy Eating the easiest choice. Invest in good tools, quality kitchen equipment isn't an expense, it's an investment into your long term wealth. Action Step, remove all junk food from your kitchen today, or at least hide it. Replace it with healthy alternatives. Make this change permanent, your sleep space, the recovery room. After my back injury in 2018 I learned how important my sleep environment is. Your bedroom. Rebuild your body and mind each night. Make these simple changes control temperature, keep your bedroom between 16 to 20 degrees, difficult in the summer, I know, get a fan, or even better, air conditioning in your room. Block all light, use blackout curtains and remove LED lights, Ban technology, keep phones away at least one hour before sleep. Action Step. Check your bedroom temperature tonight, if it's too warm, open a window or a. Just the heating your movement space, the energy generator, even if you go to the gym, your home should encourage movement. Create a movement area, even a small two by two metre space with basic equipment. Helps make equipment visible. Keep resistance bands or weights where you can see them, remove barriers, lay out workout clothes and equipment in advance. Action Step, clear a small space for movement at home, put out visual reminders that make exercise the easy choice. Your social environment, the people factor you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Jim Rohn, this idea changed my life. Your social environment isn't just about friends, it's about who shapes your standards and influences your decisions. The inner circle. Check, look honestly at the five people closest to you, for each person, ask, Are they healthier than me? Are they wealthier than me? Do they support my goals? Do they help me grow after joining Daniel Hill's property entrepreneur boardroom, my thinking and results improved quickly being around successful people automatically raised my standards action step, identify one person in your circle who drains your energy limit contact with them. Immediately replace that time with someone operating at a higher level, building better relationships. After our fraud incident, I changed how we handle business relationships. Create overlapping systems. Have multiple trusted people checking important areas. Give before taking. Always provide value first in relationships. Build regular check ins. Schedule consistent meetings with key people. Action Step, choose one important relationship that lacks structure, set up a regular meeting to strengthen this connection. Handling difficult relationships, not everyone will support your true wealth journey. When talking about your goals with others, connect to their values. Explain how your healthy habits give you more energy to spend quality time with them. Set clear boundaries. Decide what you will and won't discuss. Show, don't tell let your results speak for themselves. My relationship with Kay shows this perfectly. She supports not just who I am, but who I'm becoming. Your closest relationships determine your success more than anything else, your digital environment, the mind shaper. Your digital environment may be the most overlooked factor in your health and wealth, cutting notifications. Notifications kill productivity. Each interruption breaks your focus, triggers unhealthy dopamine cycles, fragments your thinking. Try this simplified approach, allow phone calls only from important contacts, turn off email and social media notifications check messages at set times each day. This simple change can give you back 90 minutes of focused work daily Action Step. Turn off all essential phone notifications immediately. Check messages only at set times. For example, 9am 1pm 5pm using technology wisely. Technology should be your tool, not your master. Try these approaches. Delete unnecessary apps, keep only what truly adds value. Take regular breaks from technology. Try a 24 hour period without digital devices each month. Isn't it crazy that we can't go one day without some use of digital device? Schedule information intake, set specific times for consuming content instead of constant checking, action step, delete the three most distracting apps from your phone. Schedule specific times for social media instead of random checking your financial environment, the wealth system, your financial environment, either makes building wealth automatic or nearly impossible creating financial layers. The best financial systems have overlapping layers. Divide financial duties. Have different people handle different parts of your finances, get outside reviews, have professionals check your finances regularly, set up automatic alerts, create systems that flag unusual patterns for the best results. Work with these four professionals, tax advisor and accountant for tax planning and compliance, finance manager for cash flow and financial strategy, bookkeeper for accurate daily records, finance assistant for invoices payments and basic admin. Action Step, find one financial process that only one person. And handles change it so at least two people must be involved. Josh Keegan, ultimate FD, has been a massive influence for us on this especially after reading this book, small business, big profit, automating wealth. Building the secret to building wealth is setting up automatic systems before you touch the money, separate business accounts for taxes, profit, expenses and growth, automate transfers to investments before money reaches spending accounts link luxuries to specific business performance metrics. This approach is similar to T, Harv, ekers, five bucket system from Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, but adapted for entrepreneurs with multiple income streams. Instead of just one income source, we're creating separate buckets for personal income, trading income, investment income and more. Each bucket has its own purpose and automatic transfer rules, action step, set up one automatic transfer that happens as soon as money enters your account, even 1% automatically move to investments. Creates the right habit. The seven day environment challenge. Try this seven day challenge to transform your environment quickly. Day one, physical space. Quick Wins. Remove processed foods from site, put tomorrow's workout clothes out, clear clutter from your workspace, lower your bedroom temperature. Day two, people reset. Contact your most positive influence. Schedule One, meeting with someone operating at a higher level. Limit, time with your most negative relationship. Join one group aligned with your goals. Day three, digital cleanup, delete your most distracting app, turn off all non essential notifications, unsubscribe from at least five low value emails and set specific times for checking messages. Day Four, money structure, set up one automatic transfer to savings. Create a separate card with limits for non essential spending. Make a visual reminder of your wealth goals. Review your last 10 purchases for alignment with your goals. Days five to seven, integrate and continue apply what you've learned to other areas. Notice which changes make the biggest difference. Create systems to maintain your improvements and schedule your next environment checkup. Your environment is your future. Your environment isn't just where you live and work, it's the invisible roadmap of your future when your physical spaces, relationships, digital tools and financial systems all align with your goals. Success becomes the natural outcome, rather than a constant struggle. The entrepreneurs who achieve extraordinary wealth while staying healthy aren't superhuman. They just understand that environment beats willpower every time design your environment intentionally and watch how easily a healthy body and ultimately, wealth follow.
