Bio
Raised in a small town in Dorset, UK, I moved to London in 2006 to take my place on a three-year Marketing degree. After leaving university I quickly fell in and out of a conventional office role. Three months of unemployment made me look at the world in a completely new light.
I started blogging in November 2009 whilst working at a large department store in central London. During this time I was forever searching for something new to work on. Throughout university I thought my life had been planned out for me; I was to achieve my degree, get a marketing job and get on with the rest of my life. Now, I had no idea what to do.
In the summer of 2010 I fell upon the idea of lifestyle design in the form of creating passive income from multiple avenues online – not with the view to be lazy, far from it, but with the view to spend my newly discovered free time doing the things I love, as well as discovering some new ones along the way.
Since this realisation, I have visited five countries in twelve months, with big plans for the future. I’ve learnt Spanish, I’ve started to learn Chinese, and I’ve been through hundreds (well, almost) of business propositions.
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else — Judy Garland

The Book
Not too long ago I self-published my debut ebook: How to Start. 
At 39 pages (just under 5,000 words) it may be small, but as explained within the book this was entirely on purpose. I’ve not got the time to read a 150 page report, and I don’t expect you to either. How to Start provides you with practical steps to break out of the cycle of day-to-day monotony and work towards your ultimate goals. Download now, or read more.
