I used to suffer a lot from confidence issues as a young adult, it's taken me a long time to realise that it's not as complex as it seems.

Giving back to the entrepreneurial ecosystem with Alex Hernandez!

I love being a part of the entrepreneurial eco system, everyone looks after one another. When I first started it was because of a fellow entrepreneur named Jindou Lee who actually inspired me to go on the journey as an entrepreneur. This road is tough and it's so good to know that no matter what happens I have people that I can turn to. As you go on the journey you realise that it's not about how many people you have to turn to and how many people have your back. It's about who's back you have. 

Podcast with an awesome young entrepreneur!

Why am I making these videos?

I get a lot of people on social media asking me why I create these videos? The reason I am doing this is because I am on a journey of self discovery and I want to document all of this for a few reasons;

1. I want to be able to share with everyone the gold nuggets that I find along the way! 
2. It would be so cool to one day be able to show my kids what I was like when I was younger. 
3. For me to cement my own learnings and findings. 
4. Have fun. 
5. I love videography! 

Why am I making these videos?

One of my worst fears

People often say;

"If I can see it, I'll believe it."

But I believe;

"Sometimes you have to believe it, before you can see it." 

This is such an interesting quote that has affected me in many different ways in my life;

(1.) If I blindly believe in something without an ounce of doubt, it will lead me to success and I will be able to actualise my dreams. 

(2.) This quote is full of sh*t because heaps of people believe in what they do and still fail to see the path that leads them to success. 

(3.) I spend all my time thinking about this but never end up taking action either way and nothing changes.

I've experienced all 3 on repeat in my life. I use to take no action because I feared people would think I'm crazy for taking path (1.). I also took no action because I feared path (2.), I didn't want to fail and I'm scared to fail. 

What I've come to understand is that there are far worse things than being called crazy and failing in life.

The most scary thing to me is path (3.), being completely idle in life, with no sense of progress whether it be forward or backwards. Don't sit on the fence where it's safe and cosy. Make a decision on what you want to believe in and fight for that belief with everything you've got. Defend what you believe like your future depends on it, because it does. 

Finally I feel like I can say with complete conviction that I believe that all my dreams can come true because I believe it will happen for me and because of this intense belief I will find the way. I know this might mean some people will call me crazy and foolish but this is the path I choose. 

Calling out the people who are on this journey with me, are you being idle? Are you sitting on the fence? I write this post because I wish someone called me out on this years ago. PIt's time to take action and consciously create the life we desire and not just allow ourselves to just drift about. Don't let an amazing life pass you by.

Your gift.

When you are completely in love with what you do, there's a contagious energy that radiates from you. And everyone that comes into contact with this energy becomes inspired to seek out what they love in life. 

I know with 100% certainty that you have a gift, there's something that you are meant to be doing in this life and don't stop chasing that gift. Don't settle.

My friends, we need to allow ourselves to dream again like we once did when we were young. When we dream about the things we love in life we are filled with inspiration and motivation that I simply can not describe with words. Too many of us stop ourselves from dreaming, because we fear that others will think we are out of our minds. But what if those who don't dream are the ones who are actually out of their minds? 

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."

Marcus Aurelius 

So the question is, who are the crazy ones? The ones who chase their dreams or the ones who don't 🙃

USA trip pt.2 Dreams do come true!! - Backstage Pass ep. 09

Time and time again in my life I am reminded that dreams do come true. If we all do what we love in life, this world immediately becomes a better place, it's your duty in life to do what you love. Don't just do what you love for yourself, do it because the world depends on it. 

Dreams do come true

Backstage Pass ep.09 [USA Trip pt.2] Dreams do come trueThe impossible isn't real. You can achieve anything you desire, I got here because I was foolish enough to believe it was possible and if that's the case I hope I stay foolish forever.
