Mindset Change

Having worked in the industry, where flying was my passion, I began to wake up to the values that mattered most:

1. Family
2. Time off

With over 40 years and more hours than I care to think about, I sought to achieve servicing those two value points. I got around people who had achieved real success in their lives and had time with family, time off and had developed an incredible ongoing asset, something I had wanted.

I resigned from active flying some years ago. I don’t awake to an alarm clock in the middle of the afternoon to operate some polar operation for 15 hours. I choose to go to places in this world with my family when I want to and, I don’t have to worry about running my bank account dry.

A changed mindset did it for us. I have a renewed incredible relationship with my wife and family.

I am grateful to have had the career that I did however; it cannot replace the life I have now.

I hear your pain and it isn’t just in the ME.

Best wishes to you all.
