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.

Though we have had a fair bit of "away time" this month, with much surprise it is shaping up to be a STRONG month:

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

Hi! I'm a Chris

I send out a weekly newsletter sharing my progress, providing insights and just a "diary dump" of sorts of how it is all going... sign up for my newsletter below.

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...

Yo Reader, Ever notice how growth doesnโ€™t always feel like growth while itโ€™s happening? I have shared this likely 10x now... but it still needs to be a reminder for myself, so why not share with you too! You look back later... months or years and realise how far youโ€™ve come, even when most days felt like you were standing still. Thats the beauty of "showing up and time passes anyway". Time works in your favour when you show up. That is how you build momentum. This is how it compounds when you...

Yo Reader, Ever shared a goal? A dream? Something which fires you up, something which gets you excited... only to have someone come out and say "that's not possible". Well I think I hear this way too much, but the beauty of it... is it makes more push further into my dreams and goals! I want to chat about it today and maybe it can resonate with you.
