What People Are Saying:

Here’s how Peadar describes his experience with Close the Gap: "I was skeptical at first—would it actually make a difference?" But something stood out to him: "I joined because you genuinely cared. This wasn’t just another massive Facebook group with thousands of people. That personal touch made all the difference—knowing you’d check in with me individually." On what he learned: "I was surprised how simple it was. There wasn’t anything crazy or new; it was just laid out in a way that kept us accountable and made it easy to take action." He shared an example: "I wanted to start reading more but could never get into it. Now I’m reading one page every day, and I’m already halfway through a book. It’s so simple, but it works!" He emphasized how the little changes added up: "I liked how straightforward it all was. Over time, these small habits start to compound. Like with reading—before the programme, it felt like something I had to do, but now it’s part of my morning routine, and I actually enjoy it." Consistency became his new norm: "I’m settling into routines now, being consistent and sticking to them. You didn’t force anything on us or make me do a morning routine I’d hate. Instead, you gave recommendations and let us choose what worked. And guess what? I haven’t missed a day since starting." For anyone thinking about joining: "What have you got to lose? Even if it turns out not to be for you—which it won’t—it’s only a month. And honestly, it’s not about dramatic life changes. It’s about small, meaningful habits that make a big difference over time." He summed it up perfectly: "It’s such a great way to start the year, and I’m so happy I did this." Listen to Peadar’s full story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJd4CqamSxs

Here’s what Christina had to say about her experience with Close the Gap: "Before the programme, I struggled a lot with self-doubt. Even though I read a lot about self-development and mindset, that doubt kept creeping in." She recognized something needed to change: "I knew something was going on with me, so I decided to take action instead of just letting it fester." Christina was skeptical at first: "I already do a lot of work on mindset—I journal, I reflect, I work on myself. I wondered, ‘What more could I possibly learn?’ Plus, I was worried about finding the time to commit." But the experience surprised her: "It turned out to be exactly what I needed. Not only did I learn new things, but I was also reminded of things I’d forgotten or let slip. It was short, snappy, and easy to fit into my day. The daily tasks were small, but by the end of the programme, they added up to something really big." She discovered the power of small actions: "I realized you can always learn more. The programme helped me massively in my personal development, my personal life, and even how I respond to challenges." One insight stood out: "Learning about emotions and what they’re trying to tell me—it was honestly mind-blowing." Her advice to others: "This programme is beneficial for anyone, whether you’re new to mindset work or you’ve been doing it for a while. If any part of your self-development has slipped, this gets you back on track and builds on what you already know." One moment left a big impact: "The way you framed questions like, ‘What are you proud of?’ was groundbreaking for me. It made me realize I don’t give myself enough credit."

Here’s what Aaron had to say about his experience with Close the Gap: "When I first listened to your talk, I was ready to quit my job!" Aaron knew he needed help: "I knew you were great with mindset, and I was really struggling with being productive." The results spoke for themselves: "Now, I notice I’m so much more productive. Instead of just waking up and reacting to the day, I have a plan. That makes all the difference—I’ve seen some really good results." He gained new perspectives: "Everything starts to make a lot more sense. The insight into emotions—how they affect me and others—and understanding why people react the way they do in everyday life was fascinating." Aaron felt the impact in his business: "110% worth it. This programme completely changed my outlook and helped me in my own business." What he loved about the structure: "It’s set up so it doesn’t feel like you’re doing much day to day, but it builds and builds into something powerful." His recommendation: "If you’re running your own business, I’d absolutely recommend this." Hear more about Aaron’s experience here: https://youtu.be/336kzqLKWco

Here’s what another participant had to say about Close the Gap: "Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to become a better version of myself." They shared how the programme came at the perfect time: "I started this programme right before launching my own business, and the benefits have been incredible." Here’s what they gained: "I created a morning routine I never had before. I learned how to prioritize what matters most. I found ways to deal with stress in a manageable way. I realized imperfections are perfect and started focusing on my strengths instead of my weaknesses. I discovered that uncertainty is what helps you grow. I stepped out of my comfort zone and gained confidence I didn’t know I could have." The reassurance helped too: "Phil reminded me that it’s okay if your routine doesn’t go to plan—life happens. Don’t beat yourself up about it." Their advice to anyone considering the programme: "For anyone thinking about joining Close the Gap, don’t hesitate. F*ING SIGN UP!** You’ll be forever grateful you did." GRATITUDE.

Here’s what Abdullah had to say about his experience with Close the Gap: "I was initially skeptical about the programme. I wasn’t confident in myself and kept overthinking whether it would actually help, even though deep down, I knew I needed it!" But he’s already thinking ahead: "I’d sign up for the programme again in a few months to challenge myself further, track my progress, and see even more improvements." The simplicity made a big impact: "The first challenge was just a single page in a notebook, but it gave me so much insight into my whole life." Abdullah’s advice to anyone considering it: "Don’t stress out. Take each day as it comes and focus on the small things that really make a difference. Don’t try to read a whole book in a day—commit to just one page. Be honest with yourself about what you want, and you’ll win!" A powerful realization: "I even wrote down things I was proud of from primary school! Focusing on those moments reframed my past and gave me a boost in confidence and self-esteem." He summed up the experience: "This course has so many things you won’t believe! If you’re thinking of joining, don’t stress—just go for it. Take the time to really make the most of the programme." And the results? "You’ll feel a huge difference in just 15 days—not even the full 28!" Hear more about Abdullah’s story here: https://youtu.be/_6T25tNFaw8

Here’s what Criostóir had to say about Close the Gap: "I saw other people I knew on the programme doing well, and I was raging I missed the first one!" What stood out to him: "You didn’t tell us what things should be or what we had to do. Everyone is different, and you let us decide what worked best for us." The results were clear: "From being chaotic to balanced—that’s how I’d sum it up." Although his goal was career-focused, the impact went deeper: "I joined the programme to help with my career, but it’s applied to life in general." His biggest takeaway: "This programme will help you take back control of your life." Hear more about Criostóir’s experience here: https://youtu.be/ZkHx-TIDO3M

Here’s what Dave, a gym owner from Northern Ireland, had to say about Close the Gap: "Having the support and structure of the programme has helped me massively manage my stress." Dave joined to tackle a growing sense of overwhelm: "I’d been going through a bit of a muddle—busy but without any real direction. The stress and anxiety of that, combined with my business doing so well, meant I wasn’t managing my headspace. I knew it wasn’t sustainable." The daily habits brought clarity: "Through daily reading, journaling, and reflecting on how the day had been, I started to find focus. The content helped me understand why things were happening, so instead of overreacting, I could pause, analyze, and then act." At first, it felt challenging: "Writing things down every day and reflecting on the content felt like a chore initially. But after the second week, it became second nature. If I hadn’t prioritized this, I’d still be chasing my tail." The community aspect made a difference: "One of the check-in calls stood out for me. Hearing from others on the programme, bouncing ideas off them—that community aspect was invaluable." Who is this programme for? "It’s suitable for anyone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, lost, or like you have no sense of direction, this programme will free up some headspace." His takeaway: "There’s so much in-depth content, and if you tried to do it all solo, you wouldn’t see the same progress or even know where to start."

Here’s what best-selling author Carla Maria had to say about Close the Gap: The programme came at the perfect time: "I wanted to start the new year right, and this was exactly what I needed. The simplicity helped reduce the overwhelm." She was initially skeptical: "I’ve done stuff like this before, so I wasn’t sure if it would work. But because it was so easy to follow and set out so well, I got so much from it." The impact was clear: "I spent more time on myself! The daily challenges pushed me to take action, and I got so much value from the journaling questions." Biggest breakthroughs: "The little techniques, especially the morning routine, were game-changers. My morning routine was a huge block for me before, but now it’s nailed. I can’t believe how much time I wasted on it before!" "I loved how the programme was interesting, factual, and fun. It took the massive world of personal development and self-care and turned it into a concise, fun programme." "This is my time now to stop feeling so overwhelmed. My favorite daily challenge was probably the one that focused on managing that." Her advice to herself before joining: "Go for it and commit! Out of all the programmes I’ve done, this is the one I’ve stuck with the most. The daily challenges were small enough and doable, but so important that I wanted to keep going to the next one." Carla Maria is now gearing up to launch her fitness range for petite ladies, with confidence and clarity on her side!

Here’s what another participant had to say about Close the Gap: "To be honest, it’s genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever done. I cannot thank you enough."

Reflecting on the experience: "Looking back at the challenges, it’s mad to see how much I’ve achieved and to recognize my strengths.

Here’s what Anna Marie, a Personal Trainer at Paragon, shared about her experience with Close the Gap: She joined with curiosity: "I got a lot more from it than I thought I would. It brought up a lot of reflection and things about myself I didn’t even know." A standout moment: "The Wheel of Life was really insightful for me—seeing where I was at that time and understanding where I needed to focus my energy." The power of reflection: "There were so many good things I could reflect on, and I’m still reflecting on them now!" She also found value in the community: "Listening to other people, who were all on this journey with me, and hearing their experiences was really helpful." Key insights from the programme: "Managing my own expectations was huge. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself with these long to-do lists that no one could realistically achieve!" "I learned to give myself permission to not do something some days, and that was a big shift." "It’s definitely made me more aware of choosing what I want to do rather than what I feel I should do. That’s really helped with my stress and anxiety—I feel so much calmer now." "In the beginning, it brought up a lot from my past, like expectations I had for myself going back to school. It made me realize I’ve been trying to keep everyone else happy except me." Her advice for those considering the programme: "If you’re feeling on edge, stressed, or anxious, this programme will help you understand yourself and your emotions better. Once you know what’s causing your stress, you can process and deal with it. Those stressors become less and less every day." Anna Marie’s final thoughts: "I would highly recommend the programme." It was an absolute delight to have Anna Marie on the programme, and we’re excited to watch her continue her journey! Listen to Anna Marie’s story here: https://youtu.be/TlneOfQuSm0

These priorities come first!" A powerful realization about loved ones: "I’ve learned two things about my family and friends: They are proud of me for following my passion. They’re giving me more space to work on myself, and that means so much to me."
