Based on what you've written, @MTF, would this be an ideal life for you?
1) Expat to Costa Rica or some other tropical land with above average tourism.
2) Open a combined public animal rescue (charity/donations) and plant-based airBnb (for profit)... your human customers who stay with you are people who love animals and the story behind their rescue.
3) Hire competent management that allows you to swim, surf, and dive any day of the year.
4) Never visit social media again, except for your marketing manager who manages the property's account.
I actually have had something similar in my mind for a few years already.
1. I've been looking for the right place for me. Still want to visit a few places more for comparison. Also, each place I visit gives me a better idea of what I like/dislike, of the potential opportunities, how everyday lifestyle would be like, etc.
2. I thought about the Airbnb, not about the animal rescue. But instead of the animal rescue I'd want to start a non-profit that reforests the island/region where I would live. That would make a big impact locally and would be easier to manage and be less heart-breaking than caring for sick animals.
3. That makes a lot of sense, too. My limiting belief is not trusting others and not wanting to hire people but I guess I eventually have to let it go as it's a big limiting factor.
4. If I could never spend any time marketing anything, I'd love that. Hiring a marketing manager would definitely be a good way to do it.
Thanks for laying it out like that as it gave me some food for thought.
