🤯 We seriously need to redefine what success looks like
Our kids don't want our life
Success is NOT:
a fancy title
asking for permission
never seeing your kids
earning a shit ton of money
never being present with people you love
asking for growth and waiting to be promoted
counting down the days until vacation each year
waiting for a boss to give you 2% salary increase (f*ck that)
coming back from vacation thinking: now it’s going to be different “I won’t let work rule my life”. 2 days goes by: you’re in the same shit
so tired from sitting in back to back meetings all day that you’ve started to forget who you are and started dying from the inside
Nope. F*ck that.
We seriously need to redefine what success looks like.
Success IS:
owning our time
not be held back
setting our own rules
design the life we want
decide our own income
ownership and accountability
having time to experience life
working from wherever we want
time with family and being present
waking up every day feeling challenged, curious, excited, hungry and at the same time content with life
And to make all of that possible:
I’ve had to become my own boss.
The traditional 9-to-5 is just a hamster wheel.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It leaves you zero autonomy.

What our kids see
Our kids don't want our life.
And who could blame them?
This is what they are seeing and hearing from people around them:
Wake up early in the morning
Commute to work / sit in traffic
Sit in meetings all day
Juggle office politics all day (hell)
Rush home
Cook dinner
Be exhausted
Crash in front of Netflix
Go to bed
And start all over the next day
Longing for one vacation per year
Wait until 65 to enjoy life
Who wants that?
It sounds like a nightmare to me.
The 9-to-5 work model is a broken old model that hasn’t been updated in a very long time.
Many people don’t question it.
They just settle and accept misery.
It does its job though: it keeps you busy.
And focused on just getting through the day. And leaves no time to realise and act on your own dreams and wishes.
We can do better than that.
I listened to this podcast the other day and it’s SO on point.
That’s how you break free.
I started just like that: telling stories and building my personal brand at scale.
Reach out if you need my help.
That’s it for this week.
Thank you so much for reading this newsletter.
I truly appreciate it.
