🤯 We seriously need to redefine what success looks like

Our kids don't want our life

In partnership with

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.

Hanna
