Lately, I’ve found myself reflecting on what wealth really means. For a long time, I believed it was tied to financial success. Having more, earning more, achieving more. But these days, my definition of wealth has expanded in ways I never anticipated. Yes, financial stability matters. But I’ve come to realize that true wealth is so much more than money in the bank. It’s about having time. Time to pause, breathe, and experience joy, like those daily walks with Scruffy or the quiet mornings spent sipping coffee with no rush. It’s about space in my calendar, about freedom from the constant hustle. It’s about having room to think, to create, and to just be. For the longest time, I thought success looked like a big house and a packed work schedule. But what I really craved was freedom: freedom to design my days, invest in relationships that nourish me, and work in a way that didn’t drain my soul. What about you? Have you ever felt like you’re chasing someone else’s definition of wealth? What if wealth, in the truest sense, isn’t about possessions or status, but about how deeply and fully we’re able to live our lives? When we think about wealth, do we even ask ourselves the right questions? ...what would your life look like if you had more time to invest in the relationships that matter? ...what passions would you pursue if your schedule was designed by you, rather than the demands of other people's agendas? ...how would your business feel if it supported your life instead of draining it? It’s easy to get caught up in the grind, focusing on constant earning and achieving. But what’s the point of financial wealth if it comes at the cost of everything else? I’ve been asking myself these questions, and I invite you to do the same. What does true wealth mean to you? Is it the freedom to spend your time as you wish, the health to fully enjoy life's pleasures, the deep connections with loved ones, or perhaps all of these? More importantly, how can you begin to shift your life and business toward this authentic version of abundance?

My monthly newsletter sent at the end of every month, to stay connected and inspire reflection for creating meaningful work and a purpose-driven business. Hi Reader, I've just landed back in Bali after spending the entire month of February on a workcation in Vietnam, and wow - what a month it's been! Switching up my usual surroundings and working from cafes in Hanoi and Saigon has been exactly the kind of refresh I needed. One of the month's highlights was surprising my partner for his...
Hi friends, In 2024, I chose a different path while the online business world kept shouting "scale bigger!". I embraced doing less but better. I celebrated "enough" over endless growth. And you know what? The results were anything but small. This year, I supported dozens of accomplished professionals who traded burnout for freedom by building tiny-but-mighty businesses. I saw corporate escapees find more joy (and often more profit!) by choosing simplicity over complexity. And personally? I...
The business world bombards us with constant pressure to think bigger, move faster, scale higher - as if building an empire is the only path to success. But who decided that was the only way? Can I share something vulnerable with you? In 2015, I had my highest revenue year ever in my business. Sounds great, right? But the truth? I was burned out, exhausted, and questioning everything. Sure, I looked successful on paper, but I felt empty inside. The business had grown, the team was bigger, but...
