Been floating around these forums for a long time now without contributing much, but absorbing lots. I've decided it is time to change that and document my process to detach myself from my current location in the cold barren wasteland called Canada.
I currently run a service-based (seasonal) business from March through October. While I've had great success with this business the location I am tied to has steadily begun to frustrate me more and more. I find the winters difficult and find myself longing to be away from the cold. This hatred for the cold was made even worse when I decided to move to Hawaii for the winter of 2019/2020 and experienced what it was like to not live in freezing temperatures 6+ months of the year. The cold & lack of sun really take a number on me and it seems to only affect my health and wellness worse each year.
Thus, my struggle to detach myself from my current business and location began.
I built and run my own website for my current business and have had a lot of success with it - ranking on the first page of Google for all my target areas. This skill developed during my winters off (could not bring myself to sit around and do nothing all winter so I taught myself to code & build websites) has opened up an opportunity I never thought imaginable. This past winter I launched my own web agency (design, dev, SEO & management) and have had some success, especially with others in service businesses approaching me and appreciating my knowledge of it. I learnt more and recreated the same process I used for my own website and was able to help quite a few others as well.
I plan to use this thread to thoroughly document my process & execution as I take this business on until it is stable enough for me to either sell off/or hire someone to run my other business. I will then continue to build this business in the warmth of Portugal. Thankfully, my fiancee is a citizen of said country and we can move there at will.
I will also document my progress as I work with multiple programs/tools to assist me in taking this business to the next level. The two I am starting with will be:
@Fox Web School - while I am familiar with the web development & design side of things I am excited to learn from someone who has had so much success on the sales & outreach side where I have struggled.
@Black_Dragon43 and his B2B Lead Generation System. I am looking to automate and try to be as efficient as possible with lead generation as this has been the biggest issue I have had so far. Excited to see how I can put this system to use.
I will escape the cold.
