This can be difficult there’s absolutely no doubt about it, however to me it comes down to priorities. As I get older – and probably a little less “hungry” from a professional perspective, I am taking more and more joy in becoming more involved with my kids. It is a big contrast for me.
My older daughters are now in their late teens and looking to establish their own careers – something I hope I’ll be able to help/influence them in so they (hopefully) don’t make the same mistakes as I did as a younger man. Inversely my youngest daughter is only two – watching her explore and learn about the world is a joy – seeing someone so young and unspoiled by society is wonderful. Being loved unconditionally by a little person like this fills my heart with happiness.
What is your greatest life achievement?
Behind my daughters? Taking a Ultra Tune which was on the verge of collapse and turning into Australia’s leading,
independently owned after-sales automotive service network brings me joy on a daily basis professionally. I also own “Ultra Thoroughbreds” – a horse racing enterprise where we breed and race quality horses all over the world. Having bought and breed some of the most sort after horses in the world (e.g. Ms Andretti, Shamus Award and
Nature Strip) has been an exciting and fulfilling experience.
