5 Inspirations to share after turning 34...


Howdy Reader,

This week I celebrated 34 years! Yay! Another one done and dusted.

But each year, I do try to take a moment to reflect on the lessons, the learnings and things which have come my way.

Now I have not got it all figured out but I have enough to be able to share, so thats what I will do today.

Lessons/Reflections

  • Compounding works everywhere — small, consistent actions stack over time. Whether in health, business, or personal growth, the results add up far beyond what you imagine.
  • Design your life, then your business — don’t let growth become the goal. Build in a way that supports freedom, creativity, and the people who matter most.
  • Show up, always — progress rarely comes from perfect conditions. It comes from turning up, taking the next step, and leaning into opportunities even when it’s hard.
  • Simplify to succeed — chaos is natural, but staying in it is optional. Solve problems by cutting waste, focusing on what matters, and keeping systems lean and clear.
  • Impact outlives profit — money matters, but meaning multiplies. Building something that serves both your goals and your community is where real fulfilment comes from.

At the end of the day.

Know your WHY.

Your PURPOSE.

Your MISSION.

And stick to your VALUES and chase those DREAMS!
