And where do you usually turn to? Books, audiobooks, or the internet.

But if you're honest, have the self-development books or videos you've consumed led to the changes you'd hoped for?The self-development market fails to deliver, not because the advice isn't good, but because information isn't enough, if it was, we'd all be multi-millionaires with perfect relationships and six-pack abs Change requires practice.

We originally worked in helping measure and improve wellbeing in organizations, before pivoting to this proposition. Since the pivot we have already launched 3 individual apps based on self development books to test the proposition. All have been featured by Apple and one received Apple's coveted App of the Day Award.
All our initial apps have shown efficacy using clinical research and the reviews have been beyond our wildest expectations. Knowing we are helping people is what gets us out of bed and the reviews are our rocket fuel.

Here's a few below to give you an example of the type of impact your work will be having on people's lives.

The next step is to launch the self-development platform with multiple courses and tools on from our popular authors.

The MVP of the platform has been developed and we are now in the product testing phase prior to launch.
