Simon Squibb drives without a soundtrack. In "10 Tiny Habits That Make You Rich", he explains that leaving the music off gives him room for original thinking, an everyday choice that has become a talking point beneath the week's most-watched upload.

Some viewers recognise the appeal of a silent car journey; others say unfamiliar songs spark ideas, or that background music helps them concentrate. One artist describes reaching for a sketchbook when boredom arrives. The conversation is less about getting rich than about what gives an idea enough space to appear.

The video takes those habits through Squibb's home, from his converted garage gym and studio to the garden, sauna and office. He advocates creating more than consuming, keeping a consistent sleep routine and saying no to distractions. Housekeeper Diana appears as he explains his preference for buying back time by delegating tasks. The video also contains a paid partnership segment with Tide.

Posted on Friday, it has passed roughly 120,000 views and is currently the channel's strongest daily draw. Squibb posted nine uploads across the week, including "13 Minute Business Masterclass From A $2B Founder". With Julian Metcalfe, the emphasis shifts from personal routines to starting before you feel ready, giving customers a reason to choose you and planning before leaving a job.

The channel added 10,000 subscribers, while daily viewing is running above its usual level. Nearby in the business group, School of Hard Knocks had a particularly busy week; Nischa's daily viewing is quieter than usual. On Squibb's own channel, the older "I made her the STAR of my book! 🤩", featuring Mahi's story, remains another substantial daily draw.

What viewers say

  • Agreed- no music and just thinking in the car is amazing!!! People think I am a super weirdo.

  • I’m okay with the no music rule, but I don’t know about you guys. Sometimes, listening to music that I’ve never heard before also sparks another crazy idea inside me. ❤ love you Simon for the inspiration!

  • I have realised that the habit of just making or doodling helps a lot, ARTIST HERE. I get ideas from being bored, so when I don't want to be bored, I get a sketchbook and just have fun. I believe the 90-10% is at play here. Sleep is good as well.

  • Every morning I make my tea i sit for one hour and half just thinking without any distractions at all.
  • One thing I really like about you Simon, is you genuinely want to see people succeed in life, and not all about you trying to sell your services. 🙂

  • Purpose find your purpose, happiness is a fleeting state of mind. Purpose will drive you regardless of your state of mind.

  • Coming across your page makes me really happy. I truly appreciate the values you share, and that’s why I’ve been following you all the way from Haiti.

    I also have a dream.
  • Awesome! I find with hard training. Such as resistence training, a bit of high energy music with no words works to get into it.
