There was a simple line we saw recently on a poster outside HolaBank here in Spain and it stopped us in our tracks and made us smile
Two people were standing on a beach and it said…
“If you have someone with you, everything is possible”
We’re lucky 🍀we have each other and worked with each other most of our married life
The more we’ve thought about it, the more we’ve realised just how true that is especially at this stage of life
So many people we speak with are over 50, experienced, capable, and full of stories…
And yet what they’re often missing isn’t motivation, intelligence, or effort
It’s someone to walk alongside them
We see this pattern often
People who’ve already taken action, shared their story, and inspired others but feel unsure about the next step
Not because they lack ability
But because they’re asking a very human question
“How do I turn what I’m doing into something that truly helps people and actually works?”
And that’s where guidance, structure, and having someone with you changes everything
This time of year, when goal setting is front of mind, the first step isn’t pressure or perfection it’s clarity
And one simple reminder from a recent training really stayed with us
Have fun this year
We love 🩷 that
Because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy especially when you’re not doing it alone
And this is exactly why we do what we do…
This Friday, we’re off to Lisbon in Portugal for a short city break a few days to see a musical (our daughter got Susan tickets to Cats for her 70th birthday)
We’re meeting our digital nomad friends who live in Portugal and will do some fun things like a city tour on a motorcycle and sidecar and take a tram ride

Travel and experiences are always on our mind
Not as an “escape”, but as a reminder of the freedom we’ve intentionally built
Our business continues to run while we’re away, with very little required beyond staying lightly connected and sharing what we’re up to
That flexibility didn’t happen by accident it was a choice
And it’s exactly the kind of lifestyle business we encourage you to create too
Because we only get one life…
And it deserves to be lived – not postponed
As always we want to give you something to help you get your year off to a good start
So here’s something that we believe is so important
🎯 How To Shape Not Just Goals But Direction for 2026
We recently went through a powerful training that asks some simple but crucial questions…
The kind that help you shape not just goals, but direction for 2026
We’d like to share it with you here because clarity comes first
And we often need a little help with that…
To reflect, decide and move forward with intention especially if you’re building (or considering building) an online business as part of your retirement lifestyle
Join us for our next newsletter where we’ll share Your 10 Personal Principles For A Successful 20206
And talk about our trip to Lisbon
Until then…
