If you want it, DO it!

It’s been a while since my last piece.


After coming out of the very harsh, Sydney, 12LGA lockdown last year I made a choice to change things up.

Like many of you, I had been asking myself the big questions:

What do I really want for my life moving forward?
Where do I want to be living?
Who will my choices impact the most?
Why do I want this?

I’ve spent more time offline this year doing the work, taking myself through the change process and here we are, at the end of this calendar year so I thought I’d share where I’m at.

The what do I really want became clear, an estate, legacy home/property for my family. As rents and interest rates have continued to rise, the desire to be a property owner without a mortgage became very strong for me. We have five daughters, two of which have children of their own. I want them to always have a sanctuary called home that they can retreat to when life gets hard and change is required. This is what home is for me, it’s my sanctuary, my sacred safe place.

In order to create this I realise the high 6-7 figures required which isn’t going to come with what o had been doing.

Putting it out there has resulted in two opportunities to create this, one a high level change management role and the other an investment to grow one of my other businesses so I said yes. Saying yea to these has meant I have had to push pause on launching Change School, which is my passion, it’s my life’s work and I know is there for me when it’s time.

The people this choice impacts the most is me and my family, which next to my health is my highest value.

This is why I’ve been offline, I’ve been head down, ass up.

Let me tell you, when you go after big expensive dreams, there are definitely sacrifices. Sacrifices of time and sacrifices of money, it means you have to push pause in some and sometimes all of the other things you enjoy doing. The reality is, if you want it, you have to DO the work to earn it and sometimes it’s fucking hard!


The whole “you can have it all” thing is a load of shit when you are creating. You can have it all eventually, just not at the same time.

As you reflect on your year, look back at how you have healed, how you have grown and how you have changed.
Look at what you’ve created, what you’ve done differently.
Look at who that has impacted and in what way.
Look at how you’ve changed.

What a year this has been.
I’ll drop by again when I have space to.


Merry Christmas.
Until next time, enjoy this little clip.
