I was tidying my home office cum video room when I came across the sales brochure for our house
It brought back so many memories and made me want to write you a quick email just to encourage you to GO FOR IT (whatever IT is for you)
You see when we first thought about making the move form the city to the seaside here in Argyll, we really weren’t sure we could make it work
My partner’s driving instruction business was doing well in Glasgow but would she find enough business in a small rural place in the Scottish Highlands?
It was my online business with SFM that sealed the deal.
I’d started to get some real traction and had made some seriously good money and that if you like - gave proof of concept……
It worked and could work anywhere
So we made the decision, put our beloved Glasgow pad on the market and started contacting estate agents
One of the brochures we received was for the house we now own.
We fell in love with it from the pictures - particularly one that looked down the big garden to a nice big raised deck which provided an incredible view of the sea down below.
But there was a snag…..
We just couldn’t afford it
In fact it looked like we’d struggle to get much of a mortgage at all since we were both quite recently self employed
But then the magic started to happen
Our Glasgow place sold online in 10 days and for more than our asking price
NO GOING BACK NOW!
We quickly decided to make the move and arranged to view some rental properties in the village our dream house was in
One of the rental agents was also a mortgage consultant and when we told him our problems getting finance he was shocked
"I’m pretty sure I can get you what you need - things are very different here than in the city", he said
He also advised us to put in a lower offer on the house we wanted
We did and the offer was accepted!
There were a few more hurdles to overcome as we moved into a temporary rental and sorted out the paperwork
But 4 months later we moved in and have been thriving here ever since.
So my message to you is this - whatever dreams you may have - even if they seem impossible now
As soon as you commit to achieving them a process begins that is unstoppable
You do what you need to do to make it happen and somehow - call it the universe, the law of attraction or just sheer bloody minded determination - you get there.
People come into your life that help you, resolutions appear that overcome obstacles in your path
For us some of these people were undoubtedly the founders and community at SFM
We couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t found a way to escape from the 9-5 regime that tied me to a particular area
Bear in mind I’d been made redundant for the second time in 2 years just before we made our move
Those videos from SFM changed everything. They provided me with a vehicle that made it all possible
And I’m here to tell you that if you are prepared to put the work in and invest in your dreams
That same vehicle can take you wherever you want to go
You just have to be a little brave and take that first step
by Applying to join SFM
It doesn’t take MUCH bravery since there’s no risk with a 30 day money back guarantee on the $30 application
The bravery is in committing to your dreams
Cheers!
