Aaah. That explains why you have money lol.
Sort of.
does he?
I do.
He doesn't? Travelling the world isn't cheap I know
It costs about 70% more now to visit some of the places I been. My holidays these days cost me alot more with a family than going solo. Still isn't cheap but it's all about timing where you go, how you travel, like any time of life.
I not been to all them places in 12 months either. I've traveled over 25+ years with fighting, work and so on. I didn't just get up and go hey lets go to all these places over the next 6 months!
Even now things are still shocking just as a family a holiday during school holidays vs outside school holidays can be 4x+ as much!
I've not been to Pakistan until 3 years ago and that was work related. Holland the last 2 years. India more recently. Sometimes you need to go out and meet people to make things happen only so much you can do over email or the phone. Says more about you vs the 100 other people who reach out to these factories if you just go out there and meet the people.
Also more likely to work out terms than over email as it shows your a serious buyer.
i think it was before the accident and by assuming he did import export stuff after the incident
I used to train and compete on some sort of level before my accident. I started a business at the tail end of the .com boom and was just the right time that's all. I lost that business, used what I made to go off and try and make a fighting career when that didn't go to plan I tried to duplicate the original business many times over and failed.
Now I got something else that's actually working - it's only working I think because I don't treat it as mine, it run it as an investment opportunity for my children to give them a better start in life than I ever had.
I don't technically need to work. But I can't sit on the sofa either. So this is my day to day distraction and it's been going for 12 years so far.
so how can we start?
I actually think it's harder these days.
A lot things I used to do back then you can't exactly get away with now, was luck I got away with some things previously.
It's all about timings and willing to take risks and just have a bash.
