I created 30Flex, a simplified fitness and lifestyle challenge inspired by 75Hard. Members commit to daily workouts and optional personal goals for $10 weekly. A $30 fine applies for missed tasks, benefiting charity. The program offers accountability through group chats, personal coaching, and a supportive community of like-minded individuals focused on growth and health.

I'm launching Merch Kings, a print-on-demand merchandise platform that helps brands minimize waste and maximize profits. We print and ship products directly to customers or restock retail locations within 24 hours of sales. This eliminates excess inventory and heavy discounting. We're launching Monday with our first customer partner.

I've transitioned from winter to spring, completed the Auckland Half Marathon, and expanded ALT. to 21 clients, surpassing my initial capacity expectations. I'm launching a new website, podcast structure, and awaiting confirmation on a property deal that could significantly contribute to my $10m challenge. Despite time flying, I'm committed to regular blogging and ambitious $1m revenue goals for ALT.

Starting 2024 strong with growing coaching clients and streamlined podcasting workflow. Found my Ikigai at 40, building a community of like-minded individuals through events like the 100th sauna podcast episode. Working from The Loft, moving to a larger home, and maintaining clear fitness goals. Financial modeling shows promising next 18 months while Spanish learning and pilot's license remain future aspirations.

In October 2023, I received my Tesla and love its features despite charging challenges. I'm shifting away from property investment due to maintenance hassles. My coaching business, though challenging, feels like my dream role. The podcast continues growing with great guest episodes. I'm enjoying regular fitness training with my PT, Hamish, finding valuable business metaphors in the experience. My weekly newsletter remains a consistent commitment.

I reject get-rich-quick schemes like crypto, NFTs, and random trading strategies. While they might work briefly, they lack long-term consistency. If instant success was achievable through shortcuts, everyone would be wealthy and successful. Be strategic and leverage opportunities wisely, but ultimately, you must do the real work.

I've completed one year of my $10m, 10-year challenge and turned 40, feeling frustrated about progress despite gratitude. Through conversations, I've learned three key lessons: genuine change requires discomfort, alcohol significantly hinders progress (experienced during 300 days sober), and environment powerfully influences success, making it crucial to carefully choose surroundings and relationships.

I connect buyers and sellers within my network, earning referral fees from businesses for successful connections. I carefully select trusted vendors across multiple industries, including real estate, business services, home improvement, and digital marketing. I aim to maintain a curated list of reliable providers and welcome inquiries from both buyers and sellers.
