Hi Chris and Susan here...
Writing to you from our happy place in the mountains of the French Alps
It's a time of joy and also a time of sadness
Joy because it's the first time we've been able to travel outside the UK and sadness because we're preparing what was to be our retirement home for sale
We're here for just a week but we approach this seriously just as we do our online business
Everything has to look it's best when a potential buyer walks through the door so that we have the very best chance of making the sale
There are times in your life when you just have to do what you have to do
For us it's always been about re-inventing our retirement after we lost so much during the 2008 worldwide recession and financial melt down
Our chalet here in the French Alps was ONE thing that we salvaged and did everything we could to keep it
It led to a radical commitment to re-inventing our retirement including renting out our chalet to a ski tour operator
The pandemic combined with Mum being diagnosed with Alzheimer's has meant yet another re-invention
And quite honestly it feels like it's the right decision
What we finally realized is that you can have ultimate success AND ultimate bliss if you're prepared to embrace change
If we could sum it up, it would be with this quote which we believe originally came from James Michener…
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he is always doing both."
If this resonates with you, write down this quote and spend some time with it
If it feels right, commit to this way of living
And when you get off course (which you will) pull the quote back out and recommit
Another part of our re-invention includes our commitment to building the residual income side of our business (so we can do more in our retirement)
And we want to show you how we're doing it
It combines mental wellness with financial wellness and is a wonderful option if you are concerned about either or both of the two
In fact we would encourage you to take this quiz and find out for yourself
At this time it's only available in the USA but watch this space for details of worldwide expansion
Wishing you continued peace, freedom and financial security
