The Adventure has now officially begun, well, I suppose it had already done that before we left, what a hectic three weeks it was leading up to our departure. We got rid of everything in our house, so of course we could start from scratch!
So here we are, across the ditch and in the sun, of course there were some tearful good byes at the airport and before that too. We are both pretty sure our family understand that this was something we really had to do.
We have been here now for about four nights, three full days. First of all we got our daughter back into school, that went without a hitch. So of course this left us over to looking for a new place to live and getting our bearings.
It has taken pretty much this long to get an Internet connection established, there are a lot of hoops to jump through to get any sort of credit or utilities. We have managed to get a few things running.
I have started my marketing again for my business and of course this is just one of the income streams that we will be using to go from $0-$1,000,000 in 12 months. Sarah has already been offered 3 different jobs here and it is looking very promising so far for all that we have planned.
Now is the time where I want to share a little pearl.
We all have great friends and of course family. These friends and family only want the best for you and of course they do not wish to see you hurt in any form, whether that be physically, financially or emotionally. So of course they are always happy to give advice, for years I was really appreciative of this, and to be fair it may have been to my detriment. I would not change that for the world, as it has helped me become who I am. I would say however be wary of the advice they are giving out. Ask yourself a question, are these people qualified to pass judgment on what they are giving you advice on? There is a very good phrase that goes with this, "the most expensive advice you can get, is free advice" take that for what it is.
Of all people I understand the excitement of starting with a new idea, or concept. All we want to do is share with people, and of course we go about telling people with all the energy of a 9 month old Alaskan Malamute pup. Slowly but surely as you talk to people and they either do not share, or do not fully understand what it is you are on about they start to steal your energy and by the end of it you feel like you have been hit by a truck.
This is why you need to be wary of who you talk too. It not that they do not care, it is because they care so much. The problem is that they don't understand.
When you loose focus you risk loosing your dreams. Only you can make the final decision.
I'll leave with this, 'Regret for the things you have done can be tempered by time, it is the regret for the things you have not that is inconsolable
