ABOUT
ME

If you're interested in working with me, you first need to know more about me and perhaps a lot more about yourself...

Together with my wife, we founded and grew a service based business that now affords us complete location independence, with sufficient income to pursue the things we want and most importantly, the time to pursue them. 

​

Many business owners fall in to the trap of working more hours than they'd ever thought was possible, focussing on 'growing' their business to one arbitrary milestone after another only to find that nothing really changes.

​

For the first couple of years, we fell into this trap too. This was partly fuelled by the things you see on Social Media telling you what 'success' looks like.

 

So I decided to define my own success, and you should too. When you know what success looks like for you, you become empowered with the ability to make a plan to pivot your business in order to achieve it.

 

For me, success was living in a hot country, working no more than 2 days a week, meeting new people and learning new skills. Funny thing was, I didn't need to run a multi-million pound business to achieve it. I suspect your goals and ambitions, when carefully planned, don't require a seven-figure sum either!   â€‹
