Pursuing My Dream Life as an Influencer
I get asked this a lot. Whenever a newspaper posts something about us, the comments are usually people taking the p*ss and loling at the fact I’d go from being a doctor to an “influencer”. But I don’t mind, for me the answer was always simple. I had an image of what i wanted my life to be. The life I’ve created and what you see in this video. And I couldn’t have it while working in medicine. I tried, for a long time. But ultimately I knew I needed to take a huge risk, and just go for what we wanted as a family.
I want to get to the end of my life and say I DID all the things, not that I HAVE all the things. There’s SO much to learn from the world, and I couldn’t imagine a life where this was restricted. I couldn’t accept missing out on a huge chunk of my son’s early years. I would rather have less money, less stuff, less “respect” if it means I get more time with my family. If you know why you’re doing something, it makes all the instability, the negative comments and the inevitable low points much easier to deal with.
We all have dreams, and an image of what a perfect life would be. It’s different for us all. But if we start there and work backwards, it’s much easier to achieve. We have one life, why not go all in on that thing you REALLY want?
I know we are hugely privileged to have the safety and security to make the changes we have, and for that I am eternally grateful ❤️
