Hey, it’s Gavin Wiener here.
Born and bred South African.
Back in 2016, I had a “good” job, working for as a software engineer for a well-known online fashion company.
“Black Friday” celebrations at the office
But I was miserable and scared.
Today I’ve lived in 4 countries, visited 10+, and most importantly, and moving closer every day towards sending my parents on their dream trip and giving to my other family members.
Me in 2016.
– Had graduated with a good degree (Business Science + Computer Science)
– I was working for a well-known fashion brand in my home country, South Africa
But I was not happy, I…
– Dreaded waking up every morning to sit in traffic
– Did not look forward to the work I was doing
– Was thinking almost every day, “What am I doing here”
– Was stressed
– Knew I was capable of so much more
– Was living SCARED, scared to do the things I knew I wanted to do, which I knew would become regrets the longer I waited
Me in 2021…
– I’ve visited 10+ countries, and lived in 3 for an extended periods
– Regardless if it’s during a “work day”, I can spend time on my passions, surfing, and kickboxing
– I haven’t “had” to be anywhere for the last 4 years
– I get to work with new and exciting projects and clients which help me learn what I like and don’t like
– I got to be “stuck” in Bali for almost 2 years, where my ANALYTICAL and SUPER LOGICAL mind was BLOWN OPEN by meditation, spirituality, tantra, learnings about relationships, energy, and just what might be out there
– Surrounded by people who inspire me and they’re having incredible impact on the lives of the people they work with
– I’m happier and more relaxed than I’ve ever been
And it truly came down to the people I had around me.
It’s HARD to go it alone.
But you see others investing in themselves, taking calculated risks, and achieving incredible things.
Some of my steps were a bit “drastic”, but I needed to commit.
But in most cases, you just have to START.
There’s an even more incredible version of you waiting on the other side of those “scary changes”.
