Hi Chris and Susan Here...
The honest truth given what's going on right now in the world would be "before this Coronavirus" chaos began...
But it is what it is and we must live with the consequences of our actions
And honestly as we shared on Facebook this morning :-
It was 2008 when we saw what was going on around us following the financial meltdown and the ensuing worldwide recession that followed...
But we didn’t act then‼️
Encouraged by our friends and family we said “it will be alright”
It wasn’t going to be alright and the truth was we just didn’t want to face up to the situation
You see we had lost our retirement savings we had worked so hard for as the property market crashed and our nest egg was gone...
It took us another year before it really sunk in and we took action...
Taking our business online and eventually closing our traditional management consultancy
Our biggest investment was our property in France and we worked our socks off to build our business and turn it into a revenue producing asset as quickly as possible...
Ten years later we find ourselves facing new and bigger challenges but we’re grateful we did what we did then even though it wasn’t plain sailing and there were the inevitable bumps and curve balls along the way...
And of course we just took another hit when France closed the ski resorts this weekend in response to the virus and that income stream has now been shut off but we still have bills to pay!
But we don’t give in easily and we know times are going to get extremely tough for all of us even those who have already adapted and work from home as we do
The purpose of this post?
Think about your future right now
- What skills, knowledge or desires do you have?
- What could you learn NOW that you could use in the future to create your own economy?
- What have you been holding off doing until "another day"
We're definitely not going to wait around this time
We've made the move to take up that "business bucket list" mentoring invitation that's been sitting around on our desk for some months now
Because we haven't a moment to lose and we want to be ahead when this thing passes
Right now everyone needs a little bit more motivation, friendship and be around positive people...
And we want to do everything in our power to help you through this time
We know we can't solve all the world problems but if we each do some little thing then that's a positive impact each of us can make is't it?
Finally today, we want to say that we hope you're safe
We hope you're healthy
We hope you and your loved ones have access to the food, medicine and other resources you need to make it through this crazy time
We wish you nothing but the best during these crazy times
Stay safe, be well and remember you can only control what you can control!
Chris and Susan
