This is my story

I started my plumbing apprenticeship, understanding that having a trade skill would always be a valuable asset.

My opportunity in plumbing came through a family friend who was in need of an apprentice. He was a religious man, known for his strong values and discipline.

During this time, I was battling a drug problem, and working alongside him daily provided me with focus and accountability, especially when my home life was unstable.

As a qualified plumber, I excelled in my work, often managing my own jobs and working independently.

Upon completing my apprenticeship, my boss assigned me a standard tradesman’s wage. While this was normal, I felt like my skills and the significant returns I had generated for the business over the years were worth more.

Gradually, I began to realise that my time at this job was coming to an end.

I was faced with two choices: I could either start my own plumbing business or buy a house.

At the same time, my family's business was experiencing difficulties, and I offered to give my dad a hand working with him.

During this time, I chose to purchase a house, acquiring my first home at the age of 22.

Transitioning to work in the building business, I shifted from a regular wage to a profit-share model, that directly correlated to how much work I put in. This change marked my first experience with commission-based work.

Remarkably, my income nearly doubled overnight.

Realising the potential for even greater earnings by pushing my limits, I decided I would never return to a fixed wage system.

I began studying an online course that educated me on trading in the foreign exchange markets, connecting me with traders and like-minded individuals worldwide.

I realised that despite earning a good income, I needed to find ways for my money to work for me, even while I was asleep. Prior to this, I had no exposure to trading or financial markets, but it seemed like a promising starting point.

Engaging in trading began to reveal some of my deep-seated belief patterns, negative thoughts, and limiting behaviours.

I knew these were holding me back and I was reaching a glass ceiling. To break through, I delved into personal development and sought guidance from mentors. I understood the importance of surrounding myself with individuals who were on the path I aspired to follow.

This journey led to a significant shift in my mindset, as I worked to transcend negative thought patterns and completely reevaluate my world view. I dedicated every spare moment to absorbing as much information as possible on topics like mindset, business, spirituality, quantum physics, the human mind, and the exploration of consciousness.

I continued to refine my skills in trading the financial markets, successfully improving my strategies while simultaneously growing my account.

I was still working full-time while running my side business every weekend.

I filled any spare moments during the day with additional learning, including courses, books, seminars, and inspiring content. Eighteen-hour days became the norm, yet I had a hunger inside of me that I couldn't extinguish.

I experienced my first major breakthrough in trading the financial markets when I recognised the opportunity cost of not day trading in the cryptocurrency markets.

Once I started engaging in both cryptocurrency and FX trading, my path towards leaving full-time employment accelerated significantly, and I began to gain real momentum.

During this period, there was a construction boom, so I was still working 50 to 60 hours a week at my day job.

Despite this, I maintained daily training with an extraordinary level of discipline. I eliminated all distractions, focusing intensively on what was successful and discarding anything that wasn't.

Early this year, I took on some investor capital. From thinking, feeling and acting differently I started to expand my network and attract new opportunities towards me.

Mixing with and meeting some high influential people and some of which took an interest in what I was doing and the direction I was heading in.

With the onboarding of these funds, I achieved an extraordinary return of upwards of 3000% on their investments.

By the end of the year, the opportunity cost of staying in full-time employment became too great compared to the benefits. After calculating how much my day job was costing me, I experienced a moment of revelation.

That very night, I wrote my resignation letter and submitted it the following day.

As the year closed, I left my 9-5 to fully dedicate myself to trading and investment management, overseeing a multi-million dollar portfolio.

I had achieved it: I was out of the 9-5 and the rat race. No longer did I need to answer to anyone; I was in full control of my own schedule, able to arrange my commitments as I saw fit.

I was managing investor capital full-time, a dream of mine, and launched a venture capital fund with some business partners focused on Web3.0 projects and early stage investment exposure within the cryptocurrency markets.

Throughout this year, I expanded my network even further by investing heavily in networking events, conferences, and mastermind groups.
‍

I was involved in the FTX collapse and had a significant chunk of my net worth wiped off the table.

It was a very confronting time for me as I had lost money for not only myself but for my investors as well.

I had some personal funds that were exposed, and I had just moved into a new house and was five weeks away from marrying my wife.

I had a spiritual awakening and realised that my purpose on this Earth isn't just helping people reach financial rewards and generate revenue. I believe every human being is on a spiritual quest and has an innate knowing that they can do, be and have more.

It's my belief that the pursuit of enlightenment is where the real magic is.

Over the past four to five years, my success has encompassed more than just financial gain; it includes the wisdom gained from a journey marked by success, global networking, setbacks, and mistakes. I've experienced the full spectrum of extreme highs and lows.

These experiences led me to a point where I had to deeply consider my direction and its alignment with elevating the planet's conscious vibration.

I had an epiphany: my purpose on this planet is to inspire, teach, and guide others to make radical shifts in their mental, physical, and spiritual lives.
