Oh WOW
Reflecting on 2024, ready to conquer 2025
2024 has been… Transformative.
2024, what a year.
I:
💼 Generated >€120k in freelance revenue but relied too much on a single client
🤔 Explored starting a company (a lot of investment, no ROI… yet), more to come soon
🏄♂️ Finally surf and kite solo, in incredible places i.e lagoons in Mozambique
🎾 Played >40 tennis sessions
📚 Read more, learned more, but still searching for deeper insights
🌍 Traveled to 3 new countries, with amazing memories in South Africa and Mozambique, and 3 weeks in California
🙏 Reconnected with myself through retreats and men’s circles
🎉 Hosted an epic 30th birthday party in Lisbon
🍸 Drank less, lived better (or almost)
💰 Hit my savings goal for future projects
2025, a chill year?
I doubt it.
Will I truly slow down, or push even further?
This year, I’m going to reduce the number of goals, but not the ambition. Fewer distractions, more focus.
Focus 2025:
👊 Courage: making bold decisions for my career and relationship (new place to live?)
💡 Clarity: simplifying my choices and actions
💪 Discipline: applying the rigor I show in sports to other areas of my life, like in my work or my health (reducing drinking & eating meat)
❤️ Intention: prioritizing what truly matters—in my relationship, family, and startup
Key Projects:

Start my company and recruit the first 5 employees
Raise 500k€ to accelerate growth
Generate 30k€ in freelance consulting to stay afloat
Invest 25k€ automatically in stocks, ETFs, and crypto

Experiences

Travel for 3 weeks to somewhere unique i.e Brazil or Japan
What I’ll continue:
☀️ Quality of Life: living freely, without compromising health or well-being.
🤝 Building authentic connections: a network in Paris and Bay Area that inspires and elevates me.
💰 Tracking finances: monitoring expenses and optimizing my budget.
📈 Becoming better every day: my routines are the foundation of my growth.
