Sean,

Thank you for the kind words, and I am glad my comments were useful. However, I would disagree with you on the point that it boils down to finances. I have learned that finances are NEVER an issue. Twice I have started businesses not knowing where the money will come from. All I did was believe that I will be able to start it, and went about starting it. Both times the money just showed up. (now if had I believed that I would be successful….) Just accept your dream as a reality in your mind. Visualize sailing the Caribbeans, and participating (or winning) the world cup and go about preparing for it.

Karen,
“God, I would love her life”

Do you really want to live someone else’s life? or do you want to have the same freedoms in your life? Choose your words carefully, specially when you’re using emotions. They become the blueprint of your manifestations.

Let me ask you, what is more important, being comfortable and not happy or being happy? Who says you can’t be LI and have your BB too?

It is scary… trying to follow your dreams. I want that lifestyle you are talking about, self employed, location independent. I read a post by Amber over at epicself.com, and she spoke of turning in her iphone (as well as selling all her possesions) before going to travel for an exptended period of time, and I thought “God, I would love her life”, but give up my Blackberry? Sometimes life is just too comfortable, so comfortable that you don’t want to sacrifice or give things up!

@Ryan, CHECK YOUR EMAIL!

@Rasheed, Thank you for this comment! This is actually one of the best ones I have on the blog, as I all of a sudden just imagined myself playing guitar on a street corner in Nice haha. Not a bad visual!

Ideally I would go sail in the Caribbean for a few months before heading through Central and South America, and then heading over to South Africa for the world cup. And then from there, who knows, maybe hang out in Thailand for a longer period of time. It mostly comes down to finances and figuring out how to pay for it. But as I have always said “Where there is a will, there is a way!”

Thanks again Rasheed!

That makes two of us holding you accountable, Sean.

Where do you plan to go? For how long?

You have a Guitar? Dude, you could be playing on the street corners and in the subways. Imagine your Guitar case filled with $5 and $10 bills, with $1 coins to keep them from flying away.

Let’s go! What are we waiting for? Oh, BTW
