Overwhelmed but want to feel in control of your time, energy, and money?
You’re not lazy or broken. You just need systems that work.
🧵 A quick intro - who I am & how I can help 👇
“I told myself I only had to make it to the next 100 metres.”
That’s what Aussie marathon legend, Robert de Castella, said he kept telling himself, when asked how he kept going.
Big goals aren’t achieved by superhumans. They’re achieved by ordinary people who keep hitting small goals, over and over.
The story we tell ourselves while we’re doing something can greatly impact its result.
If it’s too big, we feel overwhelmed and quit.
If it’s too small, we get bored… and quit.
Call me boring, but if you always buy the same colour & style socks, the most odd socks you will ever have, is 1. 😆
Your calendar is the blueprint for your life.
If you’re not healthy or wealthy, check your schedule.
WELLthy people block time for what builds both… small, consistent actions.
Plan ahead. You’re in control.
Echo chambers are dangerous.
Practicing critical thinking is key.
I make sure that I take the time to read and understand the opposing point of view to my own, regularly.
This new world we are evolving in to has no room for naivety.
The great thing about market crashes and dips…
It keeps our ego in check and makes us resilient investors.
Having too much storage space will cost you time and money.
Hear me out: 👇
You will forget a portion of what you own - so you buy it again.
When you want something, it will be out of sight, take too long to look for - so you buy it again.
You have created more spaces to have to clean, maintain and sort through- so much wasted time.
Anything with a use by date will inevitably be thrown out because it has been forgotten - so you buy it again.
For me, less storage space and buying things only when you need them - means time and money saved.
Your money will be far better spent
chasing the lifestyle that works for YOUR wellbeing
For me, this means buying
1. Future spare time (investing)
2. Experiences (date days, nature walks, family holidays / days out)
It has been incredibly satisfying to buy a house that nobody wants -
And turn it into something a lot of people want.
Having vision and project management skills can make you fun money.
Everyone deserves at least one recharge day per week..
A completely empty schedule
This means no:
- Attending meetings
- Running errands
- Cooking (we have a heat n eat night)
- Cleaning
- Admin
Just to play or simply, BE.
It works even better if it’s a week day - extra quiet, no crowds because everyone else is at work :)
All it takes is systems and prioritising your own wellbeing.
Be so intentional with your money,
That you have a lot to show for your hours of work -
But not necessarily to show OTHERS
Live true to yourself.
Freeing yourself from convention and the opinions of others
will save you so much money
that you might even free yourself from the rat race early.

Investing is a game in psychology.
Composure will serve me well.
Panic or arrogance will lose me money.
One of the easiest ways to get time back in your life
Is by shrinking the triangle between where you live, work and play.
After all, TIME is the truest asset of ours.
If you’re young and contemplating moving out of home, you will have more money to invest and better housing options if you can hold off on:
- Purchasing a car
- Getting a pet
These two factors will:
1. Reduce the options for where you can live, thereby increasing your rent
2. Demand a higher emergency fund with unexpected repairs and/or vet bills
3. Increase the likelihood that you will accumulate credit card debt to attend to unforeseen expenses.
What book did you read that changed how you live?
For me, it was Tim Ferris’s “4 Hour Work Week”.
I always had trouble accepting that life was about a 9-5, 5/7 days per week.
This book helped me think differently about how I could live and have mini retirements and different working arrangements in my younger years - long before I had a paid off house.
