Why I diss the hustle and grind

And why I can scream and shout from the rooftops about freedom…

I lived both. 

In my 20s and early 30s I bought into the corporate ladder game.  Climbing it as fast as I could, gaining status and respect all in the name of the hustle.

I was doing what i thought I should. What others said was the way to live

Only it wasn’t.  I was empty and lost.  Yes I had a good life, the corner office, the house, cars and beautiful family

But I was stuck. Stuck in the grind.  Each day a rinse and repeat of the last. Endless meetings, forever chasing…

It aged me quickly. I was no longer the young, energetic, optimist that wanted to change the world.

Yes, there was conventional success, but the cost was huge.  The cost was my time, fun, choice, impact and freedom!

So I walked away, well I actually ran toward what I wanted without looking back. 

I ran toward impact, I ran toward fun, I ran toward me

And I ran toward freedom.  My freedom.

A life where I get to do what i ant when I want where I want and how I want.

I do work I love, it excites me and I look forward to it every single time.  I have fun everyday, in some shape or form.  

I have the time to relax and take in the moment

And I make impact like never before WITHOUT having to work hard and long at it (doesn’t mean it isn’t hard though).

I am present with my loved ones - my wife and kids.  Like really present, not just there for them, but THERE with them.

So when I say the hustle and grind is ridiculous and there’s a much better way

A way that means more time, fun, impact, money and freedom

I’m speaking from experience. My own experience (and that of almost 1200 clients)

I don’t say it lightly.  I say it with love and hope

Hope that you’ll hear it and listen to what I’m really saying…

Your life is waiting for you.  

Not the life you think you should live (the one that’s a success prison full of busyness)

But the life you wouldn’t trade for anything…full of time, fun, impact, money and freedom

Doing it your way.

The best way to achieve this is:

Discover your calling 

Use it to help and serve others 

And monetising it.

Then you create a business, and life, you wouldn’t trade for anything.

It’s how you leave the prison and create your freedom…

It’s how you Screw the Rules! And speaking of which, I’m looking for some awesome people for my March container for Screw the Rules (my 3 month private 1:1 coaching programme).  If you’re interested, or want to find out more, send me a message and we’ll chat.
