Hey! Come party with 2,360 creators. I'll help you create opportunities on the internet & sneak through "third doors."
As of today, I'm a full-time writer! :)
Hey Reader,
You heard me - I'm a full-time writer, baby!
My last day at my job was yesterday, and I've lept into doing what I love.
Am I excited? Hell yes!
And am I scared? Of course!
Twelve months ago, I tried the same thing. I quit my day job and clung to a flimsy-ass plan.
But the plan wasn't proven. I jumped too soon.
Way too soon.
This time, I had a bunch of conditions before handing in my notice:
- At least 12 months of savings in the bank
- At least one steady client
- Replace my monthly 9-5 income (~$2,000/month) with the money I make online (freelancing, blogging, online courses)
- A proven process to land high-paying clients
- Confidence that I can deliver high-quality client work consistently
Only once I ticked these conditions did I step off the ledge.
Do you see the common thread?
You got it.
Confidence ~ Proof ~ Mindset
Squeezing the harmful juices out of our brains is 80% of the game, and the best way to do this is with action. But not just any action. It's by taking action that you know gets results.
Sure, there will be mistakes along the way. That, I guarantee. But the alternative scares the sh*t out of me.
I'm not the only one:
That's why I'm doing this.
I don't know if my close friends get it. My parents certainly don't. But at this point in my life, I feel a burning desire to give this my best shot.
No more excuses. No more books. No more Gary Vee.
It's time to put in the work.
On LinkedIn, I'll also be documenting my way to £10K/month as a freelance writer. Why £10K/month? This is what I need to live comfortably in New York (where my girlfriend lives).
I'll be sharing tips, mistakes, and numbers - every Monday to Friday - so that you can see what it takes to ditch the 9-5 and travel the world. (In January, my first stop is Budapest!)
So if this sounds up your street, give me a cheeky follow on LinkedIn.
I hope to see you there! :)

Hey Reader, There's no "best of the blog" this month. I gave up. Honestly, it's a little embarrassing. I gave you his flashy speech about how I missed writing and wanted to post every day. But then, just 37 days later, I stopped posting. I wasn't going to send this email... So what's my message for you today? Post that piece of content. Here's why. They don't give a f*ck. “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” — Olin Miller I get it....
Hey Reader, Here are 5 of my favourite blogs from August: The Year is 2082... The Power of Goals Write Letters to Your Future Self AI Kitchen Robots Are Here Getting Pulled in Different Directions Something I've been thinking about is the quiet life. I wrote about this in Jan. (The article blew up.) Why? I guess the world seems more fractured than ever now. AI. Authoritarianism. Social media. The climate crisis. There's so much scary sh*t. As a result, many of us want to turn the clocks back...
Hey Reader, The last email I sent to you was in April 2025. So why am I back? It's simple, really. I missed you. Keep me subscribed Where the hell have I been? TLDR: The last 18 months have been... *challenging* I lost my step-dad I quit two jobs — one which was extremely toxic My girlfriend recently moved into my place (obvs wonderful but still a major life change!) I've also picked up new hobbies like running and football commentating. But here's the thing... Writing is the only thing I've...
