I am sure I am like many of you out there, life can get pretty full on at times. I run a small internet based business from home and 2 weeks ago we were lucky enough to get a feature article in one of Australia’s largest newspapers which resulted in a flood of new work. Of course we wanted to maximise the benefit of this free promotion and not disappoint any of our new customers so I have been working 12 hour days 7 days a week for the last couple of weeks. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining about all this extra work, its fantastic, we are making great money but this combined with a new 9 week old son (no I’m not getting much sleep!) means that on a daily basis I have not been able to put a lot of time aside for my IM tasks. In fact just getting through the day has had to been a real battle.

G’day
Dave Jeffreys from Australia here. I am Married to Melanie and we have a 4 week old son named Will.
10 years ago I was in a well paid corporate job wishing 5 out of every 7 days of my life away. I knew things had to change!
But how? The answer was to take action.
Was this easy? No! I was bogged down with 2 questions. What else can I do? What if I fail?
The change came for me in realizing that the answer to those two questions were not really important and that the most important thing was to take action – any action.
I now live in a small sea side tourist village and work from home. We have a web based business printing other peoples images on to artists canvas. I enjoy my life and things would look pretty good from the out side. Trouble is having taken action to change my life in the past I now know that anything is possible.
Some years after leaving the corporate job Melanie and I found ourselves running a 47ft charter catamaran in the Caribbean. The dream job for us.
