Remember to take a break (here and there)


Howdy! Reader,

I am back from Vacation! Have been for almost a week!

I must say! It has been so liberating to go tools down, switch off and escape...

I highly encourage it.

Also, in my time away I asked Karla to marry me, she said Yes! So right now... I feel like the king of the world. At least my world.

Ill keep it quick this week... I need to go pack for Retail Fest... I fly tomorrow morning.

๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Life & Thoughts

Life is what we make it.

The sooner we realise we are the ones in control, the sooner you can start living.

There will always be rules and boundaries to keep us in a usually ethical line, but beyond this as long as we do the right thing - we can get out there and create and be whatever we want.

What is your whatever?

It may sound fluffy or a fantasy world, but why not make these things a reality.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ build the business you dream of

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ spend your time how you want

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ ask out the partner of your dream

Why do we make it so hard for ourselves and get so bogged down by the irrelevance of other peoples lives?

I am not trying to say, you are not important, but to me I have my priorities, so lets help each other get on with what we want to do...

Why bicker.. why pick, why bring others down.

Why compare, why be jealous? Why?

^ this is simply because you do not know your whatever.

Find your whatever and make it happen.

Business Snapshot for 2025 (currently):

May is almost over and I am pushing hard to finish the FY Strong.

Come back next week for the final results, I am predicting:

  • EOM Sales Forecast: 765
  • EOM Revenue Forecast: $36,441.91
  • EOM Net Profit Forecast: $4,276.40

Howdy Reader, A year ago, I wrote about โ€œcatching a breakโ€ and back then, it was coming from a place of hope.I was in the thick of uncertainty, trying to convince myself that if I just kept pushing, something had to give. Now, a year later, Iโ€™ve realised something important: You donโ€™t wait for a break... you become it. Reflecting from where I was last year... lower sales, lower revenue, lower profits... and feeling a squeeze. Here I am again 1 year later, with the feeling of being squeezed...

Howdy Reader, I am determined to see my dreams become a reality. One way or another and through the thick of it all. YOU SHOULD TOO! My dreams = my responsibilities. However every so often I have random backseat drivers drop their wise words of motivation like this... โ€œFor every one person who succeeds, a hundred thousand fail.โ€ And they say it on the basis that due to this, I will likely fail, so why bother. TRULEY with an attitude like that, for sure we are going to fail. But those odds...
