GSP 2026: A First Look at What Is Coming Next

Every now and then in business, there is a moment where everything lines up. The struggles, the pivots, the unexpected turns, the lessons, and the wins suddenly make sense and form a much clearer direction.

That is what 2026 represents for Gold Star Pro.

What I am sharing here is not simply an update. It is the result of years of growth, thousands of conversations with customers, and a journey that started long before any software existed. This next chapter is built with intention. It is built to help you create a business that feels aligned with the life you want.

To show you why this evolution means so much, I want to take you right back to where it all began, because everything we are launching in 2026 grew directly from that story.

Where the Journey Truly Started

The real beginning of this story goes back to 2016. At the time, my family and I were living a very traditional life in Australia. Busy routines, full schedules, constant pressure, and a nagging feeling that life was slipping by faster than we wanted to admit.

We reached a point where we knew we needed more. More freedom. More choice. More experiences. More life in the everyday moments. So we made a decision that felt enormous and thrilling all at once. We sold everything we owned, packed our bags, and set out into the world with our two children, who were eleven and five at the time.

That first year of full time travel changed the way we saw everything. We visited country after country, experienced different cultures, learned new rhythms, and discovered what life can look like when it is designed with purpose.

Toward the end of that year, we realised how powerful this lifestyle was for families, and how many parents were searching for exactly the kind of freedom we had found. That spark became Worldschooling Central, a community created in 2017 to help families learn about the worldschooling lifestyle and see the possibilities that existed outside the traditional path.

The community grew quickly. Parents asked questions, shared stories, joined conversations, and connected deeply with each other. As the community grew, so did the opportunities. By 2019, Worldschooling Central had expanded to include group trips to places like Egypt and Indonesia. Families travelled together, created memories, and experienced the world in a completely new way.

By early 2020, we had eight trips planned across the globe. It was going to be our biggest and most exciting year yet.

And then the world stopped.

When Everything Changed Overnight

In early 2020, just as we were preparing to lead our first trip of the year to China, the world shut down. Travel stopped completely. Borders closed. Flights were grounded. Overnight, everything we had planned and built came to a complete standstill.

Our entire business disappeared in a single moment. Trips had to be cancelled. Plans had to be abandoned. Families who had been preparing to join us suddenly had nowhere to go. It was a heartbreaking time for everyone involved.

Like so many people around the world, we found ourselves having to pivot quickly and dramatically. We could not run trips. We did not know when travel would resume. We had no idea what the future looked like.

But during our years of travel, I had been helping small business owners on the side with websites, automations, and systems. These skills suddenly became incredibly valuable. Small business owners needed help. Tech felt overwhelming. And people were searching for guidance.

That is when Gold Star Pro was born.

Launching Gold Star Pro

Gold Star Pro officially launched in 2021 with a single purpose. To make tech feel achievable for small business owners who felt completely overwhelmed by it.

We created step by step trainings, simple playbooks, helpful templates, and a support system that made people feel like they were not alone. The community grew quickly, and many customers told us that for the first time, they actually understood what they were doing.

Gold Star Pro became a space where tech felt less scary and more supportive. But there was something happening behind the scenes that became impossible to ignore.

Two very different worlds were growing at the same time.

One world was built around lifestyle freedom, travel, worldschooling, and the belief that you can design a life that feels meaningful.
The other world was built around systems, funnels, websites, calendars, and automation.

Both worlds mattered deeply to me. Both worlds had value. But running them separately created constant tension. One minute I was helping someone build a funnel. The next minute I was supporting families who were exploring a completely different way of living.

These worlds felt like they belonged on opposite sides of the room. And I constantly felt torn betweeen the two. After all, there are only so many hours in a day!

What Our Customers Helped Us See

As Gold Star Pro continued to grow, something else became very clear. People were not struggling only with tech.

People were also struggling with the business behind the tech.

We heard the same kinds of things over and over again.

* I do not know who I am speaking to.
* I do not know what my offer should be.
* I do not know how to talk about what I do.
* My business feels heavy.
* My business feels confusing.
* My business is not earning enough.
* I feel lost.
* I feel stuck.

People cared deeply about what they were creating, but the foundations of their business were unclear. They did not know what to focus on. They did not know what to build first. They did not know how to bring all the pieces together.

And without that clarity, tech became harder than it needed to be.

That is when everything shifted.

I realised that Worldschooling Central and Gold Star Pro were never meant to be separate. They were always two parts of the same mission. The freedom to design your life paired with the systems that support the business that funds that life.

Once that became clear, the pieces finally clicked into place.

The Big Reveal

This brings us to the part I have been so excited to share.

In 2026, we will move forward in a new, aligned direction. With everything together under one clear and aligned mission.

And so, I'm thrilled to introduce you to the:

An Escapepreneur is someone who chooses to step away from the ordinary. Someone who decides to build a business that gives them the freedom to create a life they love. Someone who wants clarity, purpose, structure, and systems that support real freedom.

This new brand does not replace what we have created.
It expands it.
It strengthens it.
It brings everything into alignment.

And it sets the stage for a major update inside the software itself.
