The Trail Less Travelled.

There’s this one trail I keep coming back to—Kasteelpoort Trail on Table Mountain. It’s tucked away on the Camps Bay side, shaded and quiet, slowly winding its way up until you're standing right near the summit. I do it maybe twice a week in Summer, in Winter very seldom, depending on the guests I’m guiding or what my week looks like. But it’s always been one of those places that realigns me—body, mind, and spirit.

About 2km up near the top, there’s this signpost I always stop at.

𝗜𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀: “T𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻.”

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻—i𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. 𝗠𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲-𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻.

This sign has quietly marked every season of this transition for me. And each time, it reminds me of something I already know in my bones: this is the trail less travelled. It’s not crowded. It’s not paved. And it sure as hell doesn’t come with guarantees. But it’s real. It’s alive. It wakes something sacred inside you.

Has it been uncomfortable?

Absolutely. Have I faced moments of fear, financial worry, doubt? Without question. But at the same time—I’ve never felt more certain. Not because I have all the answers, but because I’ve chosen alignment over assumption. I’ve chosen trust over safety. And every day, I’m learning how to lead myself with faith, patience, and a deep sense of responsibility—not just to my family, but to my Creator and the vision planted inside me.

You see, the hardest part...

isn’t the physical grind. It’s the mental terrain. It’s the quiet thoughts at 4am.It’s holding yourself accountable when no one’s watching. It’s battling the inner voice that says, “You’re not ready,” or “You’re not good enough,” or “You’re falling behind. ”That’s the climb. That’s the mountain.

But here’s the truth I’m learning: The trail less travelled will challenge you. But it will also elevate you. It will stretch you, yes—but it will return you to your truest self. It will break down the masks, the titles, the noise. And it will show you, piece by piece, who you were born to be.

The joy of waking up...

and knowing you're living a life that’s fully yours—one that honors your values, serves your purpose, and frees your time—is priceless. No office perks can match that. No job title can compete with the feeling of true, soulful alignment.

Just the other day, I received my first online order for a consulting session I’ve been designing—my 90 Day Free-Range Human Accelerator Project. And that small confirmation reminded me: this is working. Slowly, steadily, faithfully. I’m building something real.

Same with my other lifestyle business, my Adventure Guiding company - Cape Summit Adventures. The bookings are coming in, the vision is becoming tangible. But all of this only works because I keep showing up—not for the hustle, but for the calling. For the mission. For the future I believe in.

This path requires more than strategy—it requires soul.

It requires a kind of internal discipline. A sacred trust. You become your own boss—but more than that, your own mirror.

So no—this is not the easy way down. But it is the right way up. And every step teaches you that you're not just building a business…You're building yourself.

And the view from here? It’s worth it.
