Harsh Reality Check…

For many people the average govt. pension will not be enough to live on when the time comes

In the UK it’s around £8,000 annually, or £671 per month.

If you don’t own your own home, or have savings set aside, that may not be enough to cover housing, utilities, food and generally just living decently.

Now is the time to start learning how to start and grow your own side hustle or main business ‘online’.

Online gives you a fighting chance to transform what you –

Love
Are good at and interested in
Can teach others
Are passionate about

And turn it into an actual business, where your marketplace and customers are unlimited because of the internet.

Building a business online will give you a fighting chance to stand with grace and dignity with the life you really want and deserve -without depending on the govt. or a job to sustain you.

I’m 51 yrs old. Most of you following me are probably in your 40s+? it’s time to start thinking proactively about the future.

The time is now, while you still can.

Let’s turn your passion into a purpose, and your purpose into a business; Then let’s make that business earn while you sleep.

I’m launching an online business coaching group very soon to help creatives, empaths & introverts with exactly this sort of thing.

Coming soon!

Let your dreams LEAD you

When I was a teenager…

My dreams were of me onstage, playing music, there were smiling faces of people, I would play my guitar and sing and I made lots of people happy.

I also dreamt of adventure. Driving a car and a motorcycle with the wind in my hair.

Travelling to new places, meeting new people and making new friends.

Those were the dreams I had.

It took me many, many years of soul searching and personal self-development before I found my way back to living the dreams my boyhood self had.

As children, many of us were taught to suppress our natural belief that we could be whatever we dreamed to be, often by well-meaning people who just wanted the best for us.

But in wishing to protect us from falling and getting hurt, may have also clipped our wings and grounded us.

What were your dreams?

What or Who did you want to become?

The dreams we have, especially when we’re young are the essence of who we really are, and who we’re meant to be.

Don’t ever give up on your dreams.

Stay close to them in any way you can.

Dreams are a language our souls use to communicate our deepest and highest purpose in life.

If you have dreams that keep coming back to nudge you every so often?

Listen to them.

That’s your soul trying to remind you, who you really are.

Fight for your Dreams✊

One day when I was a young boy…I was practising playing the guitar and having fun with it when my Grandfather came up and said to me…

“Don’t waste your time with that. Study hard, there’s no money being a musician, get good grades so you can get a good job”.

Although he meant well, I only realised later on in my life how much what he said affected me as a young boy and my confidence in expressing my true self.

So, later in life, to please my loved ones I went to University, graduated and went down the corporate route, specialising in sales & marketing and in fairness my financial situation and professional status kept on rising.

But the more focused and successful I was in my corporate career, the more my soul felt…”sick”.

Like there was a big emptiness & sadness in my heart…

I also felt strangely guilty – as if I had abandoned that little boy who loved to play music.

I spent many years feeling guilty, confused and sad about this – before I finally worked out that music and expression was always inside of me, just waiting to be let out and set free again.

I think a lot of people have this experience when they’re young, when someone, maybe a parent or teacher, advises them to take a practical route in studying hard and getting a ‘good job’.

But what most people find later on in life, is that just having a job that pays the bills isn’t what makes them truly happy,

It’s being able to express themselves freely and sharing whatever natural talents they have with others, that creates real self-fulfilment.

Wherever you are in your life’s journey, it’s never too late to do that.

Don’t give up on your dreams🙏 fight to defend them if you have to, they are who you really are.

Even negative feelings like pain, guilt and regret can help us find and discover the right path to reach them by showing us things we need to learn about ourselves…things no one can teach us, and only time and overcoming challenges can reveal best.

The best version of you and the life of your dreams might be the result of a combination of things you have yet to discover about yourself.

You may have to go through some dark and tough times to reach the other side…but believe me, it will be worth the journey when you arrive.
