FIFO DADS!!

Still working until you broken??

Learn a new skill while still working FIFO to transition out the game??

If that sounds like you-
MSG "START" and we can chat.

Your job can pay the bills without being your only plan.

For years, most of us are taught the same thing…

Get a job. Work hard. Pay the bills. Keep going.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

But at some point, I started asking myself — what am I building outside of my job?

That’s what pushed me to start building an online business alongside the work I already do.

I’m still working.
Still learning.
Still building.

Because the goal isn’t to suddenly walk away from your job.

It’s to start creating another option for the future.

Your job pays for today.

What are YOU building for tomorrow?

Curious about what I’m building?

DM me “PLAN” 👇

FIFO dads — what are you doing with those few hours after shift?

I know how easy it is to finish a long day, get back to the donga, scroll the phone and do it all again tomorrow.

I still have nights like that.
But I’ve also started using some of this downtime to build something of my own alongside FIFO.

I didn’t start with all the answers. I’m still learning, making mistakes and building as I go.

The difference is, now those nights in the donga aren’t just another night away from home. They’re time I can put towards something I want to grow for the future.

If you’re a FIFO dad who’s been thinking about starting an online business but you’re not sure where to begin, send me “SHIFT” and I’ll show you what I’m doing.

I used to think I needed to have everything figured out before I started.

The right plan.
More knowledge.
More confidence.
More time.

But working FIFO while building something on the side has taught me the opposite.

You learn by doing.

You make mistakes, adjust, learn what works and slowly become better than the person who first started.

I’m still building. Still learning. Still figuring things out.

My journey might be slower than someone else’s — and I’m completely fine with that.

Because every swing I’m away, every lesson I learn and every small step forward is still progress.

Don’t wait until you feel ready.

Sometimes you have to take the first step before the confidence ever shows up.

Start where you are. Learn as you go. Keep building.

Any other FIFO dads out there wondering what their next chapter looks like?

I know what it’s like to work the roster, spend days away from family and come home wanting to make the most of every minute.

That’s one of the reasons I started building something online alongside FIFO.

I’m not pretending I’ve got it all figured out. I’m still learning and still building — but every small step is another step forward.

And the best part? I didn't have to quit FIFO to start.

If you've ever thought about building something alongside your current job, drop “START” below or send me a message. 👇

The shift finishes. But some nights, my work isn’t done.

This is what building something alongside a full-time job actually looks like.

No fancy office. No pretending it’s easy. Just finding pockets of time, learning new skills and working on my online business when I can.

I’d rather start slowly than keep telling myself, “One day I’ll do it.”

If you’re working FIFO and have ever wondered what you could build alongside your roster, DM me “SHIFT” and I’ll show you what I’m working on.

Building while working”
I haven’t left FIFO.

I’m still on the tools. Still doing my roster. Still putting the boots on.

But I also know I don’t want to do this forever.

So instead of waiting for the “right time,” I started building an online business alongside my FIFO job.

It’s not about quitting tomorrow.

It’s about starting something today that could give me more options down the track.

If you’re a FIFO worker or someone working long hours who’s been thinking about starting something online, maybe this is your sign to stop just thinking about it.

Send me “SHIFT” and I’ll show you what I’m doing.

I’m not waiting until I’m finished with FIFO to figure out what comes next.

After 22+ years, FIFO has given me a lot. But eventually, every chapter has to change.

So while I’m still working my roster, I’m using my spare time to learn, build and grow an online business alongside it.

✅️ No overnight success story.
✅️ No pretending it’s easy.
✅️ Just consistently building something now that could give me more options later.

Because one thing I’ve learnt after all these years…

Starting before you need a change puts you in a much better position than waiting until you desperately want one.

If you’re another FIFO worker thinking about what comes next, follow the journey.

Some days building an online business feels like it’s taking FOREVER 😂

The results don’t always come as quickly as you imagined, there’s plenty to learn, and some days you wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into.

Then I see this…

Suddenly, I’m feeling pretty grateful for the journey. 😂💩

I’d rather keep learning, building and figuring this online thing out than start applying for this position.

Anyone else sticking with Plan A? 😂👇
