Andrew talks about his purpose to help thousands of people even though he only wants 122 clients. He said the more he helps the better. What a refreshing change

The Shed.

“The Shed” was a place to be yourself. Grandsons only.

There’s an old saying: “Our past experience shapes our purpose”.

“Make sure you change into your ‘shed clothes’, Andrew!” my Mum used to shout down the hall.

It’s 1971. I am 4 years old dressed in my favourite ‘shed’ jumper.

Look how messy my Grandfather’s shed is – but he knew where every tool was. Tools that had tales to tell.

The Shed was not a museum for lookers, but a workplace for doers. My Grandfather was a World War II Royal Marine veteran. He gave me his time and personal commitment.

We used to create things from recycled off-cuts we had around us. Seldom could he afford new wood: “You don’t waste wood”, he used to say. He was always right. About everything.

“What do you want to make?” Sometimes I knew, sometimes I didn’t. He always managed to tease out a vision and a goal. We started from wherever we were, with whatever we had … and just did it. We are making a bar skittles game in this photo. When I struggled with the saw or sanding block my Grandfather used to say, "There's no such thing as can't, boy! It is possible!”

When I told my friend, Mike, about the Shed stories, he saw my office as just like ‘The Shed’: a place where I give my time and personal commitment for those people who inspire me and I them, just like my grandfather had done for me. Like him, ‘sleeves rolled up’, we craft our clients’ future, defining a vision and starting with whatever they have and from wherever they are to build a financial wall that nothing can get through. Shall we create your Passport ™ road map together and then a plan to make it happen? This is your version of a bar skittles game and countless other creations that came out of that shed.
