Hi, I’m Craig, a FiFo mining dad worker in Australia, and Dad to 2 children that are growing up fast. I’ve been working away from home all my life so now I am on a journey to change this and make the changes to like-minded FiFo workers. That want to break free from the long stressful shifts and be home with their families. My mission is to generational change, guiding other mining dads to live dif

I've wasted a lot of energy trying to force things that were never going to work out for me.

Jobs I pushed too hard for. Situations I tried to hold together past the point they made sense.

And looking back — the things that were genuinely mine found a way through, even when they were hard. The things that weren't slipped away no matter how tight I gripped.

Took me most of my 40s to trust that.

But I've found more peace in the last couple of years by letting things land where they land — and trusting the ones that stick.💦🚰

I'm not out the other side yet — but I'm working on it.

The things worth doing have a way of finding you again, even after you've talked yourself out of them.

I've walked away from ideas before.
Got busy.
Got distracted.
Went back on rotation and convinced myself it wasn't the right time.

And then it came back.

Quieter than before, but still there. Most of the things I've ended up doing that actually mattered — they worked like that.

They didn't let me fully forget them.

I'm paying more attention to those things now. The ones that keep turning up when everything goes quiet.

If that resonates, follow along.

A lot of people don’t actually want a completely different life…

They just want more options.

More time with family.
More flexibility.
More freedom to make choices without feeling stuck in the same routine forever.

That’s one reason I started becoming more open-minded to learning different skills online and surrounding myself with people thinking differently about the future.

Not because I had everything figured out.
But because I knew I didn’t want to stay in the exact same place for the next 10–20 years.

The truth is…

most people wait too long to start because they think they need certainty first.

Meanwhile the world keeps changing.

Sometimes growth starts with one simple decision:
Being willing to learn something new.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, burnt out, or curious about building something outside the normal path…

The most talented blokes I've worked alongside aren't always the ones who end up somewhere good.

I've watched naturally gifted guys stay in the exact same spot for ten years.

And I've watched blokes who weren't much chop at anything make something solid — just by not quitting.

Consistency is boring.

Nobody makes a movie about it.

But it's the only thing I've seen actually work, on site and off it.

Show up for your family. Show up for whatever you're building.

Effort doesn't pick favourites — it just rewards whoever stays.

Every decent thing I have came from a moment I was nervous and did it anyway.

I've done plenty of waiting.

Waited for the right rotation. Waited for the right time. Waited until the kids were older, the money was better, until I felt ready.

Never felt ready.

But every time I actually moved — something good came of it.

A better relationship with my wife.

A different way of thinking.

Things I couldn't have planned for.

Fear doesn't mean stop. At 50, I'm still learning that.

I share what I'm learning while I'm still in it.

Leave a message if you want to know how to change and stop waiting.

The same blokes who crack it about what you're trying to build are the ones going home stoked over a 10-minute early mark.

I've had mates raise an eyebrow at me. "Bit of a long shot, mate."

Fair enough. I get it. Most blokes my age aren't out here trying new things — they're just seeing out the roster.

Nothing wrong with that. But it's not the life I want to keep running.

What other people think of your moves says more about their ceiling than yours.

Most blokes don’t talk about it…

But deep down, a lot of men know they don’t want to spend the next 10–20 years living the exact same cycle.

Wake up.
Go to work.
Long hours.
Miss time with family.
Repeat.

The truth is, most people stay where they are because it feels safe.
Not because they actually love the life they’re building.

And every time someone tries something different…
people around them usually laugh, doubt them, or tell them it won’t work.

But look at how much the world has changed in the last few years:
• Working online became normal
• AI changed how people work
• Remote income streams exploded
• Ordinary people started building personal brands and businesses from home

The guys who moved early weren’t smarter than everyone else.
They were just willing to learn before it became popular.

That’s the part most people miss.

Starting something new isn’t really about “business.”
It’s about:
✔ Learning modern skills
✔ Thinking differently
✔ Building options for your future
✔ Being around people who want more out of life

And honestly…
the hardest part isn’t learning something new.

It’s being the only person in your circle who sees a different future before everyone else does.

I’m still learning myself.
Still growing.
Still figuring things out along the way.

But I’d rather try building something different now…
than wake up years later wishing I had started earlier.

My son didn't run to the door when I got home. He used to.

I noticed it about a year back. My son — who used to sprint down the hall when he heard the car — just called out from his room. Not in a bad way.

He's just older. More settled in his own world.
That hit harder than I expected.

FIFO pays the bills. But time with your kids doesn't get invoiced — it just gets spent. And one day the bill comes due and you can't pay it back.

If any of this hits home, follow along.

There is a way to change..

Comfort is the most expensive thing I ever bought.

Safe roster. Predictable money. Same rotation, year after year. Nothing wrong with it on paper.

But somewhere along the way I stopped asking if it was what I actually wanted — or just what I was used to.

There's a difference. Took me a while to see it.

The life I want isn't going to show up while I'm comfortable. I've had to get a bit uncomfortable to go find it.

How Not to waste two years waiting to feel ready.

I kept thinking I'd missed the window. Too old to start something new. Too set in my ways. Too busy on rotation to figure it out properly.

Then someone pointed out something simple — today is the youngest day I've got left. Every day I wait, I get further from the start line, not closer.

The regret of waiting is worse than the discomfort of starting.

Learned that one the hard way.

I'm not out the other side yet — but I'm working on it.

Follow if that's you.

The bloke who started isn't the same one running it now.

When I first started building something on the side, I was figuring everything out from scratch.
Learning things I'd never thought about. Making every beginner mistake going.

That version of me got it off the ground. But to take it further, I've had to think differently.
Ask better questions.
Read more.
Let go of things I thought I knew.

Growth asks you to outgrow yourself. That part's uncomfortable. But it's the whole point.
