Hi Chris and Susan here...
We left the UK on Tuesday and we arrived here in the mountains of France on Wednesday evening
And the internet has been at the speed of an escargot (snail) so our plans to write to you when we got here has been delayed until today
We would love you to follow our posts on social media the past few days and get a flavour of what's going on in our lives and our business
As we said in our last email, the pandemic really changed things
And it did
Let's explain in case you missed that email
We’re no strangers to challenges but what happened in 2020 opened our eyes to something way bigger than we could have imagined
Our online business was all about a location free lifestyle
And our other retirement income stream was a ski chalet in the French Alps‼️
Travel was shut down and we were confined to home
Alongside that Mum was diagnosed with dementia and early onset Alzheimer’s
How were we going to handle the fall out from that…
And stay sane
It would be true to say we become obsessed with reading and research into mental health and wellness as a result
We still wanted to live out our dreams of travel, and retiring on our terms…
But the picture just got that much bigger
And we began to think about mental wellness as well as financial wellness
How could we combine the two
And that it would be something that would benefit the people we’ve always stood for so they can have a better retirement lifestyle and the health to enjoy it
The expression “a perfect storm” whilst cliché is what arrived at our door
They do say you attract what you think about the most
EVERYTHING WAS ALIGNING
How could we help people with solutions to mental wellness AND financial wellness
Well recently we discovered a holistic mental wellness company focusing on the healing power of the gut-brain axis
In all honesty, we didn't even understand what that meant but the more we read about it the more we saw the benefits
Could it be what we were looking for
It seems that if we have a brain and a tummy we can have mental wellness
They are connected and in constant communication, and when working in harmony together...IT IS LIFE CHANGING!
And that excites us
So we’ve aligned with a mental wellness company that has cutting edge science married with cutting edge online coaching and mentorship
And that is what really made the difference for us in our decision
Look you only have one life as is famously said
Find YOUR way to live it...it might take learning some new skills, stepping outside your comfort zone, fear... and all those things but if you are in or approaching retirement then NOW is the time to GO FOR IT
If “mental wellness or financial wellness” (or both) makes you STOP AND THINK then let’s have a conversation (hit reply to this email) and share some information
We may have just what you’ve been searching for
If you've got the will we've got the way
Wishing you the best of health and wealth
