Don’t let capability turn into wasted potential

Practical lessons, tools, and reflections on personal development, productivity, career growth, and learning new skills, including AI, for those who want to act sooner and think clearer.

 

Over the last few years, I’ve gone from £30k in debt to becoming a debt-free homeowner.

 

More importantly, I’m happier than I’ve ever been, through a deliberate focus on mental health and continuous self-improvement. I’m continuing that journey following gastric bypass surgery, working towards the healthiest version of myself.

 

Across this blog, I share what I’m learning along the way, so you can apply what resonates, build your own version of financial freedom, and create a life that feels both successful and genuinely fulfilling.
