The day in a life
2024-03-20
Morning: Waking Up to Freedom
The sun gently streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse in London, casting a golden hue across the skyline. It's a calm morning, and I wake up slowly, without an alarm, to the view of the River Thames below. Beside me, my partner is already awake, reading her favorite book. There's an easy contentment in the air — a quiet understanding that we've both built this life together.
We start the day with a fresh cup of coffee on our private terrace. The city buzzes below, but I feel far removed from the rat race I once knew. There's no rush; time is on my side now. I take a moment to breathe it all in, grateful for the freedom I've fought for. As I sip my coffee, me and my partner discuss the day's plans — a mix of business calls, strategic decisions, and leisure.
Today, we're flying to the Netherlands to check on one of our AI ventures, a product I co-created from an idea sparked years ago. We also have plans to look at a new property in Amsterdam, a potential investment we've been eyeing.
Mid-Morning: The Jet Set Life
By late morning, we're on our way to a private airstrip just outside the city. Our driver navigates the streets with ease as me and my partner finalize a few business decisions on our phones. We're no longer confined to a 9-5 desk job; instead, our day revolves around making choices that excite us.
The sleek, polished body of my private jet awaits, a symbol of the independence I've earned. We board, and within minutes we're in the air, leaving behind the London fog for a clear, crisp sky. The flight is peaceful — the hum of the engines is a familiar comfort now. We spend the journey discussing the upcoming business meetings in Amsterdam, but there's also time for laughter, reminiscing, and even some quiet moments where we both look out at the clouds, feeling the surreal magic of this life.
Afternoon: A Productive Stop in Amsterdam
Landing in the Netherlands, we're greeted by a crisp breeze and the familiar sights of Amsterdam. We head straight to our company's headquarters, where our team is eagerly awaiting our arrival. The office buzzes with energy; it's a space filled with innovation, where AI Engineers and Data Scientists are pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
Me and my partner split up temporarily — she heads to another meeting with the marketing team, while I dive into a session with the developers. I feel in my element, guiding the team, solving problems, and providing vision. It's exhilarating to see the ideas brought to life by a talented group of people I trust completely.
I regroup with my partner for a quick lunch at a favorite local spot by the canals, enjoying a meal and some people-watching. It's these small moments — sharing a bite of stroopwafel, laughing about an inside joke — that remind us of how far we've come together.
Evening: Touching Down in Dubai
The next stop is Dubai, our second home. The golden desert sunset welcomes us as the jet touches down, and we feel a wave of excitement. Dubai represents luxury, innovation, and boundless potential — everything we've come to embrace in this chapter of our life.
Tonight, we're hosting a small dinner with potential investors at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the sparkling skyline. Me and my partner have become known for our hospitality, and the evening unfolds beautifully. Business is discussed, of course, but it feels less like work and more like connecting with old friends who share our vision. There's talk of a new venture — perhaps expanding our AI platform into emerging markets or investing in a sustainability project we've been passionate about.
The night ends with a toast — to freedom, to the choices we've made, and to the future that still holds limitless possibilities.
Night: Unwinding in the Penthouse
Back at our Dubai penthouse, we unwind with a glass of wine. The city lights twinkle below, and the warmth of the night air feels comforting. Me and my partner talk about our dreams for the next few years. There's still so much we want to explore, but for tonight, I'm content just being here, in this moment, with her.
Before heading to bed, I check on a few updates from my other businesses — a property in New York, a tech venture in Silicon Valley, and a luxury resort we're developing in Bali. Everything is running smoothly, managed by the incredible teams we've put in place.
We fall asleep knowing that we're no longer chasing time, but embracing it. We've built a life that's not just about success, but about fulfillment, adventure, and love. This is the freedom I dreamed of — and it's only the beginning.
