MY FUTURE

I intend to continue doing what I have done for the last 18 years: buying, letting, refurbishing and selling property. Over that time I have built a sustainable business that now largely runs itself, providing a reliable income while requiring limited day-to-day involvement. This gives me the two things I value most — time and financial freedom. With that foundation in place, I am now able to focus on two additional pursuits that are central to my long-term vision for the future.

I have written three novels and have a fourth in development, with the goal of writing two novels each year. My stories challenge widely held beliefs and encourage readers to reconsider whether traditional virtues still hold relevance today. My next novel, Ali Goes To Space, explores the importance of growing up and facing problems rather than running away from them. I also aim to collaborate with authors, producers and other creatives to bring my stories to a wider audience and maximise their impact.

Film making is a natural extension of my writing, offering the opportunity to bring stories and ideas to life in a powerful and entertaining format. I intend to make one film each year and already have a project in production, with a Hollywood A-list actress considering involvement. Creating a successful film is one of the greatest creative challenges, but I thrive on challenges and enjoy pushing myself beyond my comfort zone. I believe that projects created with positive intentions have value and impact, regardless of their commercial success.

I am fortunate to already live the life I want, and if nothing changed from this point forward, I would be perfectly content. Over the years I have learned that true success is not measured by possessions, but by having the freedom to spend my time as I choose. I value my health, independence and ability to enjoy life on my own terms above all else. Everything beyond that is simply a bonus, because there comes a point where material wealth adds very little to genuine happiness.
