Don’t Do It

I subscribe to a lot of things Gary Vee preaches. The first thing I ever heard him talk about was not doing things you hate and focus on your strengths.

I’ve always been really good at everything I’ve ever done. That’s not to brag but it is very true. But when I think about it there’s an obvious reason and that’s because I invested my time only into things I was good at. So of course I was going to excel.

People waste their time on things that everyone else is doing even when they know on their heart it’s not something they’re really invested in. But they feel like they need to be the same as everyone maybe due to the fear of doing something different and not succeeding. 

To me it makes obvious sense – do what you love and you’ll most likely still face hardship BUT you’ll keep going and ultimately succeed.

By Any Means Necessary

I finally got a neck strap for my Vlogging camera! It’s only taken me a few months to source one and when it arrived today I realised its the wrong type 😢


So I found a workaround by using the key rings off my keychain to attach it


It’s not flash but it works and will allow me to shoot hands free point of view stuff. Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow.

#TeamNoSleep

Something that cracks me up is the constant use of hashtags people associate with doing more.

The other night I had a crap sleep and woke up feeling umm crappy. I’d done a really long day and had a bad dream that kept me awake most of the night. 

There was no way I was gonna train and it led me to make some poor choices ie; buying an apple slice to add to my lunch 


because I felt hungry due to being tired. Then it got me thinking is being on #TeamNoSleep really a good thing?

I didn’t train, my eating was poor, my mood was up and down and then o needed to take a nap when I got home from work. Shit.

So I wouldn’t recommend subscribing to #TeamNoSleep because you end up on #TeamPoorChoices and #TeamNoProduction

Last Day

It’s the last day of the Esster Weekend and I’m losing daylight. But the plan is to get a lot of things done today – no exceptions. Let’s start with a TABATA session …

Missed the Easter Egg Hunt

Slept in this morning after a late night trying to catch up on movies. Brooklyn is ready to go hunting but we haven’t stashed any eggs yet 😳. Well, Bex did last night but I moved then because it wasn’t even challenging and by ‘moving’ I mean I put them away.

So now we’ve got to do the old ‘hide them as we go’ ones 😂. But it’s all good I’m just going to map out today’s game plan then we’ll get into it. Happy Easter!

ps – Make sure you get some work in today. #grind

Good Friday

Had an early start today. I’m still in work mode so I was awake early – too early. You know how sometimes you may struggle to get up on time all week for work and then the weekend rolls around and BOOM!! You’re up 2hrs early?!?!

I had that kind of start today but it’s all good I got into things early and even hit the gym first up. I’ve decided to start daily vlogging again but keeping the videos short – really short. Like 1 min 40 secs short. That should be challenging because once I start filming it’s hard to stop and then throw everything into less than 2 mins? … We will see how this works out.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on my side hustle of late being an online raffle. It’s just to make some more ‘today money’ so this time next year I can have an extra income to enable my wife and I to have another kid and hopefully not have to get her back to work moments after giving birth :).

On that note, I better hustle, it’s getting late and I need to spend time with my family. 2hrs everyday is set aside for family time. Pomarie.

Reality Check

I’m inspired by Bex and Siobaun’s friend Sally. Only 3 weeks ago she was diagnosed with cancer and before she even had time to process it she underwent 3 major surgeries in a week.

Like wtf?!?!

I hear she’s in the best of spirits considering and has got a lot of support from her family of course.

Just another reminder for me. If I had any reason to complain it’s not even close to what Sally must be feeling. So I don’t. It’s that simple, quit the complaining, focus on what you have to do and not what ‘might’ happen.

Thanks for the reminder Sally you’re my inspiration today.

Deep Breath …

Had the whanau here for the last 2 weeks and feel refreshed and ready to attack ‘it’!!

There’s always a lot going on which can sometimes feel overwhelming but I know I’d rather have it that way than finding myself just ‘killing time’. So I sit down, gather my thoughts and take a deep breath because I’m built to do this shit.

I’ve always known that my purpose was different to anyone I know. I’m suppose to do something different, I’m suppose to lead the way. So let’s do that.
