some History

Born in new zealand in 1967 I grew up in a small lower north island town surrounded by mountains, rivers, a lake and not far from the ocean.

Life was good if not somewhat impoverished. But as number four of a six children family I made my own fun and my own adventures.

We were free range children and we rode, camped and roamed more or less as we pleased. however, If you were late for dinner you missed dinner… Life was simple.

It was in this environment that i learned to become resourceful and independent. nothing seemed impossible it just took time and effort because there was no money to make it easier.

There are many interesting points in my life but probably the biggest impact came when I fell from a tree in 1995 and broke my back.

From this life changing event emerged an even bigger determination to make the most of my life.

Since this moment I have traveled to over 50 countries, rode my handcycle around australia (twice), earned four university degrees and trained in NLP, Timeline therapy and hypnosis… and much more.

I have owned my own business’s, worked for others in australia and overseas and built a life around my long term work avoidance plan.

about BLISS

BLISS—Brilliant Long-Term Intentional Success Strategies—has its roots in my Long-Term Work Avoidance Plan, which was all about finding ways to achieve success while working less. I believed that with the right strategies and mindset, it was possible to live a fulfilling life without being tied down to the grind. This approach allowed me to focus on what truly mattered, creating a life that balanced personal fulfillment with professional success.

As I refined my methods, I realized that these strategies weren’t just about avoiding work; they were about living with intention and making smart choices that lead to lasting success. BLISS became the embodiment of this philosophy—showcasing how to design a life where your work supports your passions, rather than dominates them. It’s about setting clear goals, staying true to your values, and finding freedom through strategic living.
