Aaron Ross-Connolly

I'm a husband to a lady who constantly intrigues me and has endless ability to surprise in terms of her common sense, perspective and intelligence. I'm a dad to three beautifully unique kids who make me feel incredibly thankful (despite school fees) & extremely proud (Note: teenage boys are amazingly frustrating and teenage girls just see through everything). I am a brother to one of the most genuine and highest integrity people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I am a son to the hardest working people I have ever known. Importantly, what is the underlying message behind my advice to others? Live your life! Hit me up if you would like to learn more!I believe that my primary motivation is achievement - not only in terms of what can be done but how we can do it better than anyone else. To that end, I think that there are some words that sum up the core of who I am and how I operate as a person. There words are:"Determined" - right or wrong, I am one of those people who is always looking to be more, do more, deliver on a vision and achieve as much as I can. So I am a determined little bugger (I'm only 172cm or 5ft7in) who typically keeps on digging until a particular objective or outcome is achieved. "Optimistic" - I always look at the positives and have an attitude that 'springs eternal' in positivity. This does not mean that I am "Pollyanna" - but would like to think it is more related to having a very strong "can do" attitude. "Independent" - I am quite independent and rely on myself. I like to think that I live by the motto "if it is meant to be, it is up to me". "Diligent" - this one is somewhat similar to determined - I will stay the course with a project and typically not leave a "stone unturned" to achieve an outcome. For example, I am up at 4.30am Mon-Fri for my run and gym session. Finally, I am also a farmer (I need that connection to nature) and for down time I am patiently hatching a Truffle farm.
