Vlog: Starting my accounting firm :)

  I just came out of a six-hour webinar. Six hours. Hosted by Joe Gannon — someone who worked with Ali long before the YouTube millions, before LinkedIn presence, before the global stage. Back when it started with a cheeky Nando’s and a conversation. And now? Joe invites Ali as keynote speaker to Building Authority. Full circle moments everywhere. But here’s what struck me most. Yes, we talked about: Making your personal brand unmistakably you. Building a LinkedIn profile so clear a stranger understands what you do in seconds. Designing online courses and communities that actually work. Speaking LinkedIn fluently — understanding the data, the authority, the versatility of content. All the practical things. Frameworks. Systems. Positioning. Authority. But somehow — in the middle of all that practicality — something emotional surfaced. My why. Not the polished version. Not the “CFO / CEO for Solopreneurs” headline. The real one. I don’t want anyone who wo...

This morning felt like one of those quiet wins. We had a guest speaker inside PTYA / LBA — and I had this full-circle moment. Because before Lifestyle Business Academy… there was Part-Time YouTuber Academy. And I am so glad I started there. It taught me how Circle works. How to show up to coaching. How to attend workshops without feeling awkward. How to exist inside an online community that is actually… alive. It prepared me. And just like Ali said — there would likely be one thing from PTYA that changed everything. For me? UltraSpeaking. I cannot speak highly enough of that community (pun fully intended). They offered two full weeks of free courses over Christmas. Two weeks. For free. While the rest of my house was in sleep-in mode — no school, no commitments, cozy holiday vibes — I packed on my Canadian winter gear, turned on my camera, and showed up. Every. Single. Day. And every single person there? Kind. Encouraging. Understanding. Genuine. It’s one of the sa...

Today we're going to be writing for the blog, and it's not just any post, but it's the post just a few hours before the official start to my birthday :) I'm in my office in my detached garage, heater is on, layered blankets keeping me warm while the weather calls for snow. I've been in Ali Abdaal's Lifestyle Business Academy for 15 days. It's been packed! From meeting my international squad mates, to getting use to my main coach Nathan in Australia, to Angus's coaching from Britain, to Ali and Izzy rocking up to the camera to coach from Hong Kong. It's been all I can do to stay afloat: both emotionally and physically. Afterall, it's not everyday that you get invited to stay at the coaching table with millionaires, with literally zero. So why is today of all days so special? Because today is the day I graduate to Momentum :) This might not mean a lot to readers just as is, but what this means to me is validation that all of the pre-work from first...
