156: Building An Amazon Business From The Beaches Of Costa Rica – Rob Cosman
The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup
Do You Have a Real Life Skill?
I do a lot of my own graphic design, and if i have a complicated project, then i'll hire someone else to do it. And in a small note on canvas before we move on, is that's a 12 dollar and 95 cent piece of soft work. I actually sometimes hire people to build tem plates for me in canvas,. so i can go in and modify them as i need. That is a real life skill, knowing how to do graphic design. You don't have to do all of it. But having that type of skills like this is really, really applicable for the future.
- Great story of perseverance and family, and when the time is right to just go for it.
- What happens when you find that the life you are leading is just not that much fun anymore. Working every day, 9-5, for what?
- Living in the Caymans and Costa Rica and what that looks like for a Canadian.
- So why Costa Rica? Of all the places on the globe, what would make a family of 4 pack everything up in Toronto and move south?
- You’re about to make one of the most important decisions in your life, so everyone better be on the same page, but what if that’s not the case? How do you handle that?
- What does life look like when you have small children and decide to leave the only home they’ve ever known to move to a country that speaks a different language and you’ll know no one? How do children handle that sort of adjustment? And is the education system well suited for your kids?
- Growing a business overseas, the pitfalls, the advantages, what they learned through renting and then buying a home in Costa Rica and getting their permanent residency card.
- 5 years have now come and gone. Was moving to Costa Rica a good decision? Would they do it all over again?
