In my three-year quest for location independence, I faced unforeseen challenges and the disruptive force of the COVID-19 pandemic. My commitment to the goal of working from anywhere, be it my Idaho office or a beach in Costa Rica, remained steadfast despite setbacks.
I actively pursued the goal since 2020, making strategic choices like prioritizing clients allowing delegation of inspections. Although progress was made, the pandemic added complexity. Yet, I persisted, and in 2021, my goal remained unchanged. It wasn't until recently that I achieved location independence.
This milestone required a tough decision: severing ties with clients like FHA and VA, mandating my physical presence during inspections. This sacrifice reflected my commitment to the broader vision, even if it meant forgoing certain business opportunities.
The lesson here applies universally — embracing the journey, making tough decisions, and persisting in the face of setbacks. The principles remain the same — setting meaningful goals, adapting to change, and persisting in the pursuit of one's vision.
I share my experience not only as a unique journey but also as an inspiration for others assessing their goals. The journey may be arduous, but the satisfaction and empowerment derived from achieving long-term objectives are immeasurable. It's about embracing the process, adapting when needed, and staying resilient.
This condensed version serves to inspire others to assess their goals, make necessary adjustments, and persist in the face of challenges. The journey may be challenging, but the satisfaction and empowerment derived from achieving long-term objectives are immeasurable.
