Sad news
Hi everyone. My health is not great (had a new pacemaker fitted on Monday so that’s now pacing both sides of my heart rather than just one before) but it’s only a stop gap. At some point in the next few months I’ve got to have major heart surgery to replace two of my heart valves. That will keep me in hospital for a few weeks and then the recovery back to ‘normal’ will take 4-6 months. So, I’ve taken the really sad decision to close down Ensurety with effect from Tuesday of this week as I just can’t give my clients the service they deserve any more.
I’m back home now, and it’s not the last you will see/hear from me, I’ve got two books in the pipeline (in fact one’s already out – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FWXXK91W/ ) and another two books planned for early 2026, but it does mean I won’t be at Signal meetings from now (at least not on a regular basis). I may still pop up at Signal meetings from time to time. It’s going to be a hard adjustment to semi-retirement but I have to put my health first. I’ve loved every minute of being part of the Signal journey, so thanks to every one of you.
My clients are aware I’m closing down, I did think of doing a full social media post about it but I decided against that for now as I do still want to stay semi active. As they say – au revoir, but not goodbye. Love you all xXx

I went to click “Like” but very much “do not like” and sorry to hear this news but totally understand the pressure and wanting to always give the best service you can.
Best of luck with the book(s) Keith and I am sure our paths will cross in future for sure.
Rest up and recover and all the very best with the “semi-retirement”!

Sorry to hear your news @keithbudden123
I know it can’t have been an easy decision with all the hard work you have put in. Your positivity always shines through and know you’ll continue to spread that.
Hopefully we can all send you that same positivity back as you rest up and put yourself first and on the road to recovery and semi-retirement.

Hi Keith – I’m so sorry to read this as I know how much your business is a part of your life and it’s been such a success too. BUT health has to come first, and although it would have been a hard decision, you know it’s the right one.
I wish you well with the books, semi-retirement, but most of all look after yourself!!
