Be more like Paul in 2026

This time last year, Paul knew one thing for certain: something had to change.

He wanted more from life than what he had. More control over his days, more connection with his community, more fulfilment from his work. He wanted to challenge himself, but not throw himself into the unknown without a safety net, but wasn’t sure when was the right time to make his move – or which was the right opportunity for him.

But, soon, something shifted in his mindset.

He realised that waiting for the “right time” was just another way of standing still. So, he did his homework, asked all the right questions, had all the important conversations, and made the change that some people only dream about.

Paul didn’t gamble. He made an informed decision.

No-one wants to upend their life without knowing there’s a good chance for success. So, he chose a franchise model which could give him the best of both worlds: the freedom of running his own business, and the backing of a proven system with years of experience behind it.

In September 2025, Paul launched his own mobile cafe business as owner of Cafe2U in Milton Keynes North.

In his first month, he achieved £9,000 in sales.

Impressive? Absolutely, but behind those fantastic numbers is something even more important: Paul took ownership of his future and built something of his own.

He stopped waiting and started moving, and that changed everything – for him, and for his family, too.

Here’s the truth most people forget:

Unless you actually commit, you’ll never know what you’re truly capable of achieving. Not in six months, not next year. Right now is when it counts.

I’m not saying you should rush into anything without giving it proper thought – quite the opposite – but am saying that if you are waiting for that “perfect time”, you’ll be waiting forever. In my experience, when you decide the time is right, you can actually create that perfect moment for yourself. You can keep researching forever. You can keep telling yourself “maybe next year” or “when things settle down.”, but the reality is change only comes when you take action.

That’s what makes Paul’s story so special, because he’s a lot like you – someone who knew he could get more out of life. What sets him apart for now is that he decided to do something about it.

So here’s the question: are you ready to Be More Paul?

If Paul’s story resonates, if any part of you is thinking “that could be me”, it’s time we had a chat. Standing still is easy, and moving forward takes courage, but it’s the only way anything changes. Perhaps a Cafe2U franchise can show you what you’re really made of?

So, why not take the first step and book in a call or just reach out on 07889543802.
