As we wrap up another year, I’ve been reflecting on how quickly twelve months can pass. One moment you’re setting goals, saying “This is my year,” and the next you’re counting down the final days wondering where the time went. I’ve lived that cycle more times than I’d like to admit. But this year was different for me. This year, I stopped waiting. For those who’ve been following my journey, you’ll know that I made a big shift. I stepped away from a decade-long career in construction — a career that was familiar, stable, and predictable — and I took a bet on myself. I moved to Bali, spent time in Thailand, and eventually returned to Sydney with a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and a blueprint for the next chapter of my life. And trust me… none of that happened because I “felt ready.” It happened because I finally realised that waiting for the perfect moment is the biggest trap of all. Why Most People Don’t Start Let’s be honest: most people procrastinate not because they’re lazy, but because they’re scared. Scared of failing. Scared of wasting time. Scared of what others will say. Scared that they’re not good enough yet. I’ve been there. I told myself I’d make a change “after this project finished,” “after I saved a bit more money,” “after I felt more confident,” “after I figured everything out.” But here’s the hard truth: If you’re waiting for fear to disappear before you act, you’ll be waiting your whole life. Fear doesn’t go away — you just learn to move with. if you’re going to bet on something, bet on yourself everyday of the year!
