In business, income is essential. It keeps the lights on, supports growth, and allows good work to continue. In that sense, income is like oxygen — without it, nothing survives. But oxygen is not the purpose of life. It’s a requirement. At some point in our journey, we learned a valuable lesson: businesses struggle not because they lack clever strategies, but because they chase the wrong thing.…

It looked like solid ground.Dry. Cracked even. The kind of surface that quietly says, “You’ll be right.” Reader, I was not right. Two days earlier we’d had 150mm of rain — the sort that soaks deep, fills every hidden pocket, and politely waits to see who’s feeling confident enough to forget about it. Apparently, that someone was me. There I was, on the tractor, feeling quite accomplished.…

We wanted space, simplicity, and a lifestyle that felt grounded — not rushed or dictated by schedules that didn’t align with how we wanted to live.

We persevered. In any journey toward…

Let’s face it: if you’re anything like most people, your goals are more like vague hopes. You say, “I’ll get in shape,” and then proceed to eat an entire pizza because, hey, you’ve got to start somewhere, right? But let’s talk seriously (with a pinch of humor). Setting goals isn’t just for those overly enthusiastic folks who color-code their planners. It’s actually the secret sauce to getting…

Excuses or Results: You Can’t Have Both, But You Can Try! Let’s talk about excuses—those delightful little fibs we tell ourselves to make life easier. “I’ll start that project tomorrow,” or “I’m too busy to work out, but lifting this donut counts, right?” Excuses are like potato chips: they’re hard to stop once you start, and they don’t do much for your waistline… or your goals. But here’s the…
