Helping open minded people looking for more than the 9-5 lifestyle

03/02/2025

I thought since it’s the beginning of the year, I would share my vision and goals for the next year or two.

Now that I am at the end of my 20’s I feel like I am moving into a new stage in my life. Previously, I was all about travelling and trying to escape life, but now I feel that I’m ready to fully embrace life, and I’m completely content with that.

Now, what I want in this stage of my life is to become a father, buy my own house, move to the countryside, and say I do to my soulmate.

It’s a big change from wanting to see the world – I still want to do this but at my own pace. Instead, I want to move to a slower paced life, full of love, connection, and commitment.

This is all possible because I started an online business.

Yes, becoming a father is a normal stage in any life however, I wouldn’t be able to be the present father I want to be to my future children in a 9-5 setting.

I also could buy a house in the countryside, but this would take so many years of saving and would also affect any job opportunities.

I could also get married and have a nice wedding but couldn’t give my wife to be the dream wedding that we would remember for the rest of our lives.

I’m so excited to move into this next stage of our life and settle into the life that both align with. 👫

2024 has had its ups and downs, but regardless of the downs, it's been my most important year so far 💥

Here's to 2025, which will smash 2024 out of the park 🏏

16/10/2024

Around this time last week, we arrived home after an unbelievable week in Portugal. Not to sound cliché but the whole week was full of learning, love, and laughter. But for those who didn’t click on my stories and wonder why I was in Portugal, this is why... 🥁

100 of us attended our very first community business event. This ran on Saturday and Sunday. Throughout the event, we had talks from a range of successful people who shared insights on leadership, mindset, business tactics, communication, and many more important topics.

We also had breathwork, yoga, plus business and self-development workshops. I have honestly learnt so much over the weekend, not only from a business point of view but most importantly about myself.

I have learnt that I am really not great at being vulnerable, showing emotion, or believing in myself. The best thing is, though, by getting better at these things, I won’t just be in a better position in my business, but I also have the chance to live a better quality of life. And to me that’s the most beautiful result I could ever have got. ☀️ 🪴

So this time last year me and Bec were spending our time travelling around South East Asia.

I made the personal decision to quit my job and go travelling because, well, to put it simply, I hated my job. I hated working for a company that clearly didn’t care about its employees. Feeling constantly drained, I just needed a change, a break from everything.
So I did what people do in their 20’s when they’re fed up and don’t know what to do. I went travelling to “discover myself”.

But as I was able to take a step back in life, I did learn the reason for being so unhappy, so drained all the time. Yes, my job didn’t help, but I realised that I wasn’t doing anything in life with any purpose. And until I started doing something with a purpose, I was going to continue being unhappy.

And when we returned home, this is what I decided to do.

So if you’re looking at your life right now, unhappy, low energy, and coasting along, maybe it's not a break you need but a redirection.

Was unsure whether to post this picture of myself, but I also think it’s important to document important parts of my life whether they be good or bad. But to give some context to those of you who haven’t been following my moaning for the last 6 months, this was me 3 weeks ago finally getting an operation to fix a hernia.

I honestly didn’t think it would take so much out of me, or the recovery would be so long, but here I am, still not back to 100% but improving every day. The good news is the surgery was a success, and I have a 5-inch scar, which makes me look well tough 💪

Jokes aside, though, I am just so happy that I have my proper life back. Yes, it wasn’t an injury that completely stopped my life, but it did mean I have had to put most forms of sport and exercise on the backburner, which really hasn’t been great for my waistline…

But enough of the negatives, im super excited to get out and start doing the things I love. Me and Bec have already made so many plans to get back into the gym, go climbing, and start running again.

Here’s to a new me, or the just a more eager version of the old me😊

13/08/2024

Hi guys, some of you may or may not know me, so let me reintroduce myself.

I’m Dan, I’m 28 and I am a full-time Business Analyst who is working towards replacing my 9-5 to become a full-time digital nomad.

A little bit about me:
• I love to travel. I have been to 10+ different countries including Japan, Indonesia and Philippines 🛫
• I am super sporty. Can be entertained for hours with just a ball at my feet or in my hands ⚽️
• Have a degree in maths, hence the numerical nomad name ➕️➖️➗️✖️

Growing up, I always had the idea that I would be happy once I’m in a respectable career and earning a good wage, but sadly, this wasn’t true. In fact, I have done 2 degrees, put myself in a sh** load of student debt (which have already accumulated loads of interest) to not be any happier than I was stacking shelves on minimum wage.

This time last year, I was in a position of disillusion with life, stuck in a work – eat – sleep – live for the week cycle. So I did what most people do when they’re fed up with life. I sold my car, packed my bags, and went travelling across South-East Asia to take a break and ‘discover’ myself.

It was here I saw the life of a digital nomad. Fathers being able to spend time with their children instead of being in an office for 40 hours a week, people working from coffee shops/beaches/pools building their dream life. People actually happy with their life and not moaning about their situation. This was life I wanted.

This is why I decided to start my own sustainable, health based online business. 🌿

This page is to not only share my journey, but to show people that if you’re not happy in your current circumstances, there is an alternative. It is possible to live a life that gives you everything you want, one that makes you happy and allows you to live a life that is true to yourself.

Yes, I am currently not there yet, but I’m building every day for this to become my reality. When I’m on my deathbed in the future, I would much rather have regrets about the things I tried rather than regret what I didn’t do 💪

It's so important to align with people, companies you work with/for, and align with the ethos of the products that you use on a daily basis.

It's so important to consider whether the actions you are taking are contributing to harm in the world, whether that be environmentally or on a human level.

The sad truth is, and I’m still guilty of this is that we choose to use or work with products that cause harm. But this isn’t always intentional. It's so much easier to turn a blind eye because we don’t physically see the effect that is caused or choose to stay naive.

A prime example of this is the use of palm oil. The mass production of palm oil has led to an extreme amount of deforestation that has destroyed critical habitats for endangered species yet must of us buy food containing it without realising either the effect or that its even in our food.

However, just because we are not the ones destroying the forests, we are still contributing to the problem by naively buying and using the products.
This is why I now make a conscious effort to actually take into consideration what I’m buying and whether my actions are having a positive or negative effect in the world.

This is why I choose to work with products, work with a company that not only looks after it’s people but prioritises being a solution to problems in the world, not the source of them.

It’s so important to surround yourself around the right people.

Its often said that you become like the 5 people you spend the most time with so choose them wisely!

Life's journey is better when shared with those who uplift and inspire us. Surround yourself with individuals who:

Challenge you to grow 🌱

Support your dreams ✨

Celebrate your victories 🎉

Stand by you in tough times 👪

In a previous job, I felt myself super demotivated and unhappy. The biggest reason for this was because of the people I worked with. They were so unhappy and beaten up by the company and workload that their negativity rubbed up on me from day 1.

Was the company good to work for? No, but my surroundings elevated these negative feelings to a much greater level than was actually the case.

On the contrary, though, this is my favourite part about starting my own online business. Now, I am constantly surrounding myself with people who are looking to better themselves and the people around them. Who don’t moan about their situation but are actively trying to fix it. This is the kind of person you need to surround yourself with.

So this time next month we will be in Okinawa Japan 🇯🇵

How amazing is that! But that’s not even the best part. The reason why we are travelling there is the same reason as thousands of other like-minded individuals. It is the 50th anniversary of the company we work WITH.

50 years of providing true health around the world

Yes, Okinawa will be amazing as it will be beaches, sun, and just good times. But it's also going to be the place for me to learn, build my confidence, and find a new energy into my business.

Usually when I come home from a trip abroad I get really bad holiday blues but that won't be the case this time. This time, I will come home rejuvenated and eager to better myself and my business.

So watch this space, and see the best version of myself! 💪

08/05/2024

So the past week has been pretty difficult for me

I got a sharp pain in my groin while running, which turned out to be a hernia. This means I can't run, climb, or play golf until after I get surgery

Then, the next night, I lost my voice, which followed sleepless nights of coughing. So yeah, not exactly a good week.

But this is where I have changed. In the past, I would have used this as an excuse to not be proactive, to just stay home in bed and not do much.

But I'm not going to let a bad week control my emotions. I'm still going to be as active as possible, showing up for myself as much as possible and continuing on this journey of self-improvement.

S**t happens in life, but it's how we deal with setbacks is what makes us successful

As a child, I used to watch Dragons Den on tv. I used to want to be Peter Jones, he’s not even my favourite dragon anymore…

But as I got older, went through university and then full-time jobs, and it kind of killed that dream as I got comfortable with job security.

I feel though going through school, uni, and full-time jobs, it's designed to kill that desire to dream big. It teaches us that we should start from the bottom, climb the corporate ladder, and eventually aim for management positions. Or if you work minimum wage jobs, it creates a culture to be grateful you even have a job (not good for the mind)

I get it, without people working in factories, schools, hospitals and offices the country couldn’t function. It needs the majority of the population to do the grind work.

But I don’t want to follow the crowd. I want to be the same child who had big dreams and aspirations. The one who didn’t put a cap on what he was capable of and the person who wanted to actually make a difference in the world.

I may not be there yet, but I’m certainly on my way to building a better and brighter future.

23/04/2024

Personal development has been a huge part of my life in the last 6 months. I am a person who struggles with self-belief and confidence. I don’t often show it, but anyone who has tried to order food or check into a hotel with me will know I’m an anxious reck!

Since starting my online business, I have started to read personal development books, listen to self-help podcasts, and start challenges to really push me out of my comfort zone. I’m improving every single day and that’s the important thing.

So, as I feel it's helping me, here are some of my suggestions that have really helped me with confidence/money mindset/understanding myself/ self-improvement

Good Vibes Good Life (book) – Vex King

Atomic Habits (book) – James Clear

A Happy Pocket Full of Money (book) - David Cameron Gikandi

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** (book) – Mark Manson

The Mindset Mentor (Podcast) – Rob Dial

Diary of a CEO (Podcast) – Steven Barlett

If anyone has any suggestions for me to read/listen to, please let me know! Although this pile is my reading list for the next year

19/04/2024

It’s actually crazy how different I am compared to last year. I never ever thought I would be someone who could have the confidence to speak on his story. I didn’t think I would be the guy who would get out on a Saturday morning to run a 5k for fun. The person who would happily spend his nights after work learning and working on his online business.

I used to make up every excuse like ‘I’m too tired’, ‘I’m introverted so can’t do that’, I’m too busy’. In reality these were just blockers that I put up myself. Excuses I used as I enjoyed taking the easier option.

Strangely enough even though I do all these things now, I don’t ever feel like I have less free time or less energy. And I actually enjoy doing these things. I am happy with my life from a social, health and personal way. Maybe we just need to push ourselves to become better.

15/04/2024

I honestly never thought I would the type of person to start an online business. My life was pretty much planned out for me. Go to university, get a degree, get a well-paid office job, and work like that until retirement. Yep, what an exciting life that is…

So by 27 I was already there. There was one problem though… I was bored. For me, there are not much more unsatisfying thoughts than sitting in an office 40 hours a week for the next 40 years doing the same thing.

I needed to find something that would break this cycle. This is where working online came into play. An opportunity to not only make automated income but an opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone. Do things that I find difficult, inspire me to learn again, and desire more out of life.

An opportunity to see the world and to create more time for the things I love. And if things don’t work out as planned, I’m only back where I started anyway, so where is the risk? 🤷‍♂️

12/04/2024

I’ll be honest, compared to last year I have a lot less free time. I now work a job in which I work 40 hours a week compared to 35. I also run an online business that can take up between 10-15 hours on top of that. On top of that, I probably exercise 5 hours a week, which is a lot more than last year…

This can be difficult some days, but I am also so much happier than I was. Even though I have around 20 hours less free time a week, I now spend my time productively and do things that either make me feel good, make me money, or build my future.

Yes, I still relax and watch tv and go out with friends and family, but I value my time so much more, and because of this, I am so much happier.

18/03/2024

Even though I am a nervous flier, I actually can’t wait to get back on a plane. I think it may be that I miss swimming on sandy beaches and exploring new places more than the actual travelling.

Luckily, it’s not too long till we're away again.

I suppose that in a way, flying is similar to life. It may be scary and it could also be a rocky ride. But as soon as you arrive at your destination, the ride was certainly worth it.

It goes to show that if the destination is worth it, then a few bumps and turbulence along the way might just be worth it!

06/03/2024

We all have different habits which we wish to break. That could be waking up late, not exercising regularly, eating too much junk food or scrolling aimlessly on your phone. These are habits I am desperate to break.

I know I’m at my best when I’m happy to go without snacks like chocolate and crisps, exercising regularly and putting my phone away in the mornings and before bed. When I get my habits right, this leads to me being far more productive and motivated.

Good habits lead to more good habits but in the same way bad habits also lead to further bad habits. For me, a couple of beers leads to me wanting fast food food, which leads to a late night which then gives me a bad sleep which in turn makes me unmotivated and unproductive.

On the other hand though if I go the gym, I drink more water which in turn I eat healthier, so I feel better so therefore more productive and motivated.

Ripple effects are so much more important than we think.

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." Comment 'START' below to learn how you can become a digital nomad and live the life you desire ✨️

So, this week, I did something that I’m absolutely terrified to do. I took part in interviews with a group of close friends in my community speaking about the recent event and how we have changed as people since starting our online business’. Here is a little snippet of advice from it. Putting this up on social media makes me feel super nervous and vulnerable, but I know my confidence can’t improve unless I take action and do something about it. So please enjoy the biggest lesson I have learnt. Hopefully, you can take value from what I have said. Also, I need to take my own advice every single day because we all are really capable. We just need to believe ☀️

The biggest problem with working a 9-5 is that you miss out on so many things in life. This is not only just because of the hours you work. This is also because of the energy it takes to do your job, the commuting time to and from work, and any other commitments you may have. We all wish for more time to spend doing the things we love, but most of us just accept this and don’t take action that will solve this problem. “Dreams don't work unless you take action”

Monday Motivation 💥

Your friendly reminder 💥 You can try as hard as you like, but if your own cup isn’t filled, then how do you expect to transfer any of that to anyone else. Love yourself, invest in yourself, and show gratitude to the things around you. These are the keys to a happy life
