A better way forward

When I you reached this stage of my life, searching for another job is not an option.

I”m not going to put energy, time and effort into job searching when your chances of getting hired are minimal.

No matter how much relevant experience you have, your age already disqualifies you.

To be honest I don’t really want to be working hard at all , just for a salary.

A salary will pay the bills but it doesn’t give me the life I want.

At this stage of my life time is my most valuable asset, just as or even more valuable than income.

I havn’t saved enough but I found another option.

But life isn’t bad when you can experience this everyday 😍

Simple is Poweful

I learn’t that from my chef experience and now its something I believe in.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, its knowing what matters and executing the basics.

When you overcomplicate what you doing you can easily lose what made the dish good in the first place.

The best food is simple:

Good ingredients
Good timing
Good knowledge of cooking methods and technique.

You don’t need to overcomplicate recipes with loads of ingredients.

In life we often make things more complicated than they need to be.

Sometimes we looking for the perfect plan , the perfect answer or the next big thing..

Simple works because people like things they understand.

They can see how it works and how they can maybe do it too.

I’ve become more aware of this now as I build something new.

Keep it simple, learn, share what I discover.

I still have a lot to learn, but it becomes easier when its simple and clearer

7am start the last few mornings.

It’s cooking, tending to my mom, the dogs and everything else that needs to be done.

I’m used to being busy, hard work has been my life and I still enjoy what I do.

Days like these make me think about what I want moving forward.

I don’t want to just keep working harder.

I want to build another source of income than can give me more breathing room, flexibility and more freedom with my time.

That’s really what this journey is about for me :building something alongside what I already do.

Not escaping life, but creating more choices within it❤️

I’m beginning to realise what freedom means to me.

I always thought freedom meant having plenty of time.

But I’m starting to see it differently.

If you don’t have enough money, how much freedom do you really have?

You might have the time, but you’re still restricted by what you can afford to do.

For me, money isn’t about having the biggest house, the most expensive car or showing off.

It’s about having choices.

Being able to take the right work rather than having to take every job.

Having more time to spend with my mum.

Being able to look after myself, surf more, travel around the country and enjoy experiences with good friends.

And hopefully having enough left over to make a difference to other people too.

I’m still building towards that.

I’m nowhere near where I want to be yet.

But I think I’m finally getting clearer on what freedom actually means to me.

It’s not about having more money for the sake of it. It’s about having more choices.

I’m not lazy.

I’m just trying to create a future while still dealing with everyday life challenges

I want to be healthy.

I want more freedom with my time.

I want a more secure and comfortable future.

But life goes on….

There’s work.

Family responsibilities.

Looking after my mum.

Financial pressures.

Distractions.

Weeks go by and It feels like I haven’t moved forward as much as I wanted to.

It’s easy to look at other people online and think how far behind you are…..

I’m not broken.

I just have responsibilities whileI’m trying to build something new….

Nothing is figured out yet but its important to me that I keep moving forward

if you trying to build something new while carrying out the responsibilities of your current life, dont give up…..

Age makes you wiser

I understand myself and appreciate life a lot better than I used to

As a chef I’ve been fortunate to travel and work in many scenic locations

I’ve worked in some challenging environments ,learned the lessons and met some great people along the way..

Working hard came naturally to me and i’ve always believed in being honest, fair and respectful

I’m still passionate about cooking and love working as a private chef as its flexible, but that only happens in the season

For some time now , my focus is been on having time to do the things I enjoy, being able to care properly for loved ones and to eventually retire comfortably

Thats why I’ve decided to work on something that I’ve been benefitting from and I really care about

I’m still learning and figuring things out, I havn’t ‘made it’ yet but I’m interested to see where it can take me…

For me its about building a future thats fits in with my needs and who I am.

I’m not where I want to be yet…

But I’m getting a clearer picture of where I want to go

Over the years I’ve learned a lot, made plenty of mistakes as well as taking a few wrong turns along the way…

These days I’m more interested in learning than having it all worked out

What I’m doing is improving and building towards a life with more freedom , better health and time for things and people that matter

I don’t have it all mapped but taking the journey one step at a time🙏❤️
