I'm Blake Worrall-Thompson.
In 2018, I had a profitable business. By September 2019, I had $3.08 in my bank account.
In between: bankruptcy on Friday the 13th. Fired from three jobs in six months. A relationship ending. A car broken into and a laptop stolen. Moving back in with my mum. Eating dinner in my car outside her house waiting for her lights to go off so I could go inside. Working as a dishpig in my brother's café.
Then a hospitalisation, suspected meningococcal, that put me in bed for days. That was the moment I wrote in my journal: I've been stripped bare. I have nothing else to give and nothing else to lose.
I understood for the first time why men take their own lives. I wrote that down too.
What kept me alive wasn't motivation. It wasn't a strategy. It was the inner work I'd been doing, the self-awareness, the tools, the capacity to feel what was happening without being completely destroyed by it. That work was the only thing that held.
A few days after leaving hospital, I did an Ayahuasca ceremony. And something cracked open.
Not in a soft, mystical way. In a very specific, directional way. I knew what I needed to build. I called two people and we started MoMENtum.
Within months I was in Byron Bay. Within a year I had rebuilt a thriving coaching practice. Within two years I had a life I'd actually chosen, with Shani, and then our daughter Frankie, with standards I actually live by instead of just talk about.
Here's what that collapse taught me and what I see in almost every client I work with:
People don't fall apart because they lack ambition. They fall apart because they're winning in one area and neglecting everything else. They're building externally and drifting internally. They have no operating system for the whole life, just for the part that earns the money.
I had built a business. I had no system for anything else.
Life By Design™ is the operating system I wish I'd had. It's built from the inside out, the same way I had to rebuild myself. And it works because it was forged in the actual experience of losing everything and building something real.
I don't coach this from a textbook.
I coach it from a life that broke and was rebuilt deliberately.
