Given your extensive portfolio of careers and projects, how do you adeptly manage
your time and resources to ensure optimal success across all your ventures?
That can be challenging at times. I think, on a personal level, the key is being focused
and in the moment. Break down tasks into bite-sized steps that you can work through,
and keep moving forward. It can become overwhelming and paralysing trying to take
on everything at once. But, the real key is to surround yourself with a good team.
Empower them. Inspire them. And support them. It truly takes a team to accomplish
worthwhile endeavours.
What does success mean to you, and how do you measure it?
Success, to me, means engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfilment, making
them feel less like work and more like a passion. It’s about aligning my daily pursuits
with my core values, so I can contribute positively to the world while staying true to
myself. I measure success by the sense of purpose and happiness I feel in my work, as
well as the impact it has on the lives of others. If I’m making a meaningful difference
and enjoying the journey, that’s the true measure of success.

What activities do you engage in to unwind and relieve stress?
Activities that bring me joy and help me reconnect with myself. Whether it’s immersing
myself in a good book, spending time outdoors, going for a massage, or practising
mindfulness, I focus on things that make me feel at ease and rejuvenated. These
activities not only help me relax but also keep me centred, enabling me to contribute
positively to the world around me with renewed energy and a clear mind.
What advice can you offer to individuals in the community who aspire to juggle
multiple pursuits and chase after their aspirations?
Stay true to what excites and fulfils you. Also learn to say, “no” and prioritise your
passions, and allow them to guide your efforts. Balance is key, so allocate your time
wisely, focusing on activities that align with your core values and bring you joy.
Remember, success is not just about achieving goals but also about enjoying the
journey. Stay organised, be patient with yourself, and embrace the process, knowing
that every step forward is a part of your unique path in life.
