  • COACHING: Moving To Portugal By Seeing No Issues
    Jun 28 2024
    COACHING: Moving To Portugal By Seeing No Issues Good morning, listeners! Today, I’m sharing the adventure of my recent move to Faro, Portugal, and how I overcame a myriad of little issues that initially held me back. For weeks, I was paralyzed by concerns like "Who’s going to feed the cat?" and "How will I manage my business finances?" But eventually, I gave myself permission to take the leap, and I want to show you how you can do the same. First up, the cat conundrum. I found out that hiring a cat-sitter or using automatic feeders can easily solve this problem. It's amazing how a small adjustment can ease such a big worry. Then there was the issue of managing finances remotely. Online banking and services like PayPal and Wise became my go-tos. Automating bills and payments ensured everything ran smoothly while I was away. Running a business from abroad was another major concern. The solution? Delegation and technology. I relied on my team, hired a virtual assistant, and used tools like Trello and Slack to keep things on track. Scheduling across different time zones was a breeze with Calendly, and Zoom and Google Meet kept me connected with clients and colleagues. One of my biggest worries was internet access. Researching local providers and having a portable Wi-Fi device saved the day. Plus, discovering local coffee shops and co-working spaces turned out to be a great way to mix work and exploration. Adjusting to a new environment can be daunting. I gave myself time to settle in, explored my new neighborhood, and joined community activities to make Faro feel like home. Legal and administrative tasks, such as visas and health insurance, were tackled with thorough research and preparation. Feeling isolated or overwhelmed was another concern. Regular video calls with friends and family, joining expat groups, and practicing mindfulness helped keep those feelings at bay. Lastly, having contingency plans for unexpected issues like medical emergencies or travel disruptions gave me peace of mind. By breaking down these challenges and addressing them one by one, I realized that taking this leap was not only possible but incredibly rewarding. I hope my journey inspires you to overcome your own hurdles and pursue your dreams, no matter how many little issues stand in your way. Tune in to hear more about my adventure and how you can make your own dreams a reality. #Podcast #TravelAdventures #RemoteWork #LifeHacks #OvercomingObstacles #JoinUpDots #Inspiration #PortugalLife #DigitalNomad #BusinessTips #Mindfulness #ExpatLife

He has been featured in ‘Secrets of TopBusiness Builders Exposed’, Virgins in-flight magazine, Sky Business and many more. He started his first business at the age of 18, where he built it to be a multi-millions dollar business with 64 trucks on the road in just 4 years. As impressive as it sounds, he was working ridiculous long hours and not making any money! By the age of 28 he was over it, and just knew there had to be a better way. After selling his transport company, he decided to pursue his passion for business and spent many years and tens of thousands of dollars learning what it takes to build a successful business. This led him to personally mentoring and coaching hundreds of business owners in dozens of industries, building his own multi-million dollar business in the process. He likes to have fun in both life and business, so is perfect for a show like Join Up Dots So why was he making no money when he had a multi million pound business in his hands? And is this a similar failing of most new entrepreneurs that he encounters? They are doing all the work but not getting the rewards? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Ben Fewtrell Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Ben Fewtrell such as: How there are three types of businesses, you are either employed, self employed or you have a business.

You need to work to your limits and then scale from that point. Through changing twelve jobs within twelve months he found out a very important lesson: He cant work for someone else and never has since. and lastly…. How some of his clients just cant be pushed into seeing a new way of operating. As he Ben says "They either breakthrough or they breakdown."

  • LIFE COACHING: How To Change Your Mental Outlook
    Jun 19 2024
    LIFE COACHING: How To Change Your Mental Outlook I'm in a funk is one of those things that most of us feel every now and again. You know that feeling of just being out of sorts and losing perspective of what is good in life? Well we received an email from a listener of Join Up Dots, who isn't just feeling the "I'm in a funk" vibe for a few days. This listener has been in this state of mind for a few years now. So lets start with the question and then of course you can listen to the show to hear the answer. Listener Question Dear David, i am reaching out to you to see if you can share some insight as to the steps I can take to change my current situation. I'm in a funk. Mentally and physically I am feel more and more lethargic everyday, and ill be honest I stopped listening to your show for about a year as your chirpiness and positivity started to make my skin crawl. I would think "Oh, just fuck off" and switch off the podcast, even though I admit i was in the wrong and knew that you were right. Now a year later, and through all the changes that have been forced upon us from powers outside of our control I want to take back the control in my life. I am sick of being the person who lets life happen to them, and want a piece of what you have. So two questions, if you have time to respond. Firstly, do you ever get into a head fuck place when you just cant shake yourself out of a slump? Do you ever think "Im in a funk" at all? And secondly what can I do to start making a difference in my life? Thank you, and sorry for switching off my your podcast as I know its the best one out there, I was just in a wrong place (and still in a wrong place) for your wisdom. J, Canada
