Every time I get away like this, it hits me how far life’s come.
Just a few years ago I was stacking shelves…
Working for £7.55 an hour.
No plan.
No clue where I was heading.
Just doing what I thought I was meant to do.
Now I get to live like this.
Not because I’m smarter.
Not because I got lucky.
But because I backed myself when it made no sense.
I didn’t have a roadmap.
I just had a decision:
That I wasn’t going to waste my 20s doing work I hated, stuck in a cycle I didn’t choose.
And building Software Brands changed my life.
Simple as that.
It gave me freedom.
It gave me purpose.
And it let me bring my family along for the ride.
Vienna’s been amazing.
Good food, Christmas markets, time to reset.
But more than anything…
It reminded me why I started all this in the first place.
To live life on my own terms.
And help other people do the same.
