I am a father, a husband, a business owner, a dreamer, a thinker and an admirer of beautiful things. Preferring the path less taken, I often find myself doing things the hard way and learning as I go, which suits me fine as I would go banana’s if each day was the same and I couldn’t be challenged. I despise routine, but have learned it’s value in achieving great things and have therefore taken to structured morning routines and a well scheduled life.
I’m inspired by the city, pictures, people mostly. My favourite place to sit and think is in the seal tank underground viewing room at Melbourne Zoo. There’s no phone reception, and the most magical, majestic animals doing mesmerising laps in their blue playground makes for wonderful clarity.
I read, run, ride, help, journal, meditate, design and I’m working on my writing. The truth is: I’m always working, whether it be on myself, my businesses, my relationships or in my workshop! I have an active mind and a personality that really just has to stay busy. I’m not very good at resting or slowing down. And as a great friend of mine once noted, I am easily distracted by shiny new things!
Success has no accurate description, and I believe it is of paramount importance that one understands the importance of defining one’s version of success. Sure, make some comparisons whilst you figure it out, but once you’re done, write it down. Then live it.
