Hi Chris and Susan here...

Hope you had a great weekend 

We had our first Christmas 🎄 with one of our sons and his family

It was really special 😍

And we've got another one next weekend with some of the rest of our big family

It's a big part of building a lifestyle business because family and friendship features high on our list 

We missed too many times with family during the years working 6-7 days a week to keep the wolf from the door 

Which brings us to what we're going to be talking about today

A question raised the other day when we were asked "does your business support the lifestyle you want"

They had been reading on social media about our getting our visa to live and work in Spain and were wondering if we would be doing anything different as a result

Our answer was NO to doing anything different (other than doing it in the sunshine 🌞)

And YES to the question about whether our business supports the lifestyle we want 

Because to be honest we've designed our business to do exactly that 

And of course it's changed over the years 

Because you have to be able to adapt your business so that it does support the life we want and also more importantly one that also aligns with our goals 

We've done a lot of things over the years that have made us a significant amount of money 

And it allowed us to recover a good amount of our retirement nest egg we lost in the 2008 worldwide recession

And we've enjoyed the challenge 

But at the heart of all that we've done has been to achieve the freedom of a lifestyle business that we can run from anywhere 

And we have 

But now that we've reached another crossroads in our life 

We have to take a long hard look at what we're doing and focus on our goals for the next few years 

And we would urge you to do that same 

The book that inspired us to create a lifestyle business was The 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris

The focus of his book was not so much about how much money can be made but more about how having the time and the freedom to live a good life 

It was what we wanted and it was reading that book that set us off on a quest to find our dream

And the focus of our blog

So thinking about his book and what you want from your business 

The question you should be asking yourself if you want a lifestyle business isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?"

Every day we get approached by someone wanting us to join their latest greatest business opportunity

Telling us how much money we can make with it

But we politely decline 

Because we're content with the business model we've created 

The businesses we work with 

It gives us joy 

We get to help people who are committed to changing their life 

Prepared to invest in their future self

And serious about building a business that supports their vision 

If that's you then let's talk about working together

We're just a zoom call away and we can help you create your Lifestyle Business Plan

Let's get you ready for 2025

The owner of one of the businesses we work with said it so well

"Serve people well and the money will come"
