Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

[Vigilante]

We started with the concept of bringing very little, and just buying it here. However, it was a lot more economical in the end to bring stuff, and the crazy part is we have so much **crap** that my house in Minnesota is still relatively furnished.

My wife gets here Tuesday, and then I will get to rearrange the whole place again.

There are only three ways to do this :
1. Bring nothing and buy everything locally. That's a good option if you can buy used, cheap stuff.

2. Use a moving company.

3. Do what we did, which is do it yourself.

I left most of my big stuff in Minnesota, so we bought a lot of stuff here locally. There's a cool store here called "Rooms To Go" where you can just basically go in and buy a whole room at a time.

Pulling the trailer was a nightmare, making the whole rig way too long. If it was just the moving truck without the trailer, it would have been fine.

I went to the Tervis Tumbler corporate store yesterday, and found these glasses :

We have one of those here in Charlotte, too.

It's convenient when you just want to get the furniture shopping over with.

Down the road I will be posting a "business accelerator" progress thread.

If you remember from the Millionaire Fast Lane, MJ's change in geography was simultaneous to the paradigm shift in his business. Physical geographical improvement accompanied a paradigm shift in psychological income generation. It was the catalyst to his launch of his Millionaire Fast Lane.

I am a paper multi-millionaire. Good cash flow, good strong business, but being a paper millionaire is very different than the Shark Tank crowd. If I sold the business today, I'd have to build another one.

So along with the change in latitude is coming a change in attitude. I am going to go through a paradigm shift in income generation, and down the road I will share that with you in my business accelerator progress thread. The geographical relocation was significant for quality of life reasons, but it has to be accompanied by a financial acceleration.

My son and I drove last night through an island area south of Tampa called Casey Key. It's a relatively private, Bentley filled drive with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the intercoastal on the other. (http://www.visitsarasota.org/beaches-places/casey-key/osprey/nokomis)

Stephen King, Oprah Winfrey and Rosie O'Donnell made their homes there amongst the 600 residents. My son fell in love with it, leading me to ask the natural question : "What could keep you from living here?"

The answer for me personally lies in-between today and by business accelerator.

I am winding down my posts in this thread, going back underground for a while to drink in the new surroundings, reposition my company, and take a few drives down Casey Key. For those of you in the Tampa/St. Pete area, we will have a get together this Fall at Tampa Bay Downs.

I have enjoyed chronicling this journey with all of you. Hopefully the continuation thread finishes the story that started here.

My Best.
