Tony Leake
Mindset Coach
Ten years ago, Tony was suffering from frequent and debilitating panic attacks and poor mental health. He retrained as a therapist first and foremost to help himself. When he realised that all of his previous problems were caused by his mindset he asked himself the question: If the mind can do all of that without even trying, what can be achieved when we go about it deliberately? He now works 1-2-1 with business owners, helping them cultivate the right mindset that enables them to achieve more.
His mantra is very simple. Thinking drives action, and action creates results. That means that if you want different results you’ve got to start by getting the thinking right.
