My 90-year-old grandmother ruined my life.

Her advice shattered everything I knew.

While in Singapore earlier this year,

She asked me a simple question:

"Are you happy with what you’re doing?"

I said yes.

…I thought I was.

I had a six-figure job, a fancy title, and a house.

Everything society tells you to get.

But then she just stared, silent and waiting.

She used her Asian grandmother powers on me.

So I admitted I wanted to travel the world,

and pursue a new business idea.

She asked, "What’s stopping you?"

I listed the reasons—work, routine, responsibilities.

She shook her head and said,

"Excuses."

"Life doesn’t wait for you to be ready."

She was right.

I was holding myself back.

Thirty days later…

→ I quit my job,

→ Exited a business,

→ Left my newly built house,

→ Boarded a one-way plane to Asia.

My old life was ruined.

(in the best way possible).

It’s been more than 100 days since I left.

My life enjoyment has 10x.

I’m building a one-person biz I love.

I’ve eaten more Durian than ever before.

I’m living and working anywhere in the world.

And last month,

I got to be in Singapore to celebrate her 90th birthday,

alongside my mum and older brother.

(see picture below).

To anyone feeling stuck, remember this:

You’ll always find an excuse.

You’ll always find a better time.

You’ll always find a reason to play it safe.

But..

The business, travel, and life you want,

is on the other side of fear and discomfort.

Feel the fear. And do it anyway.

Fun Fact: My grandmother is 31 years older than the country of Singapore
