I'm a new addition to the fastlane forum and I'm currently formulating and executing my plans the future. Among those plans is a move to a new city (Austin, TX). I have obligations I'm committed to in my current city until the end of summer, so I am moving in September, which gives me a couple of months to plan and keep the balls rolling on my business project.

Does anyone have any tips on relocating to a new city with no real social support network? I was definitely inspired by MJ's story of moving to Phoenix because he hated winter and got depressed with the cold, shitty winters of the Midwest (same as me!). When I left for college, straight out of high school, I relocated to a new city with virtually no personal social contacts, so I'm not worried (really excited!) but I guess I would like to hear others' stories as to how it helped/hurt them and what lessons they gleaned from their experience. What is starting over with a clean (?) slate like? How can you leverage the move to grow a business? What are some of the drawbacks, if any? What was unexpected (good and bad)?

Anything else you'd like to ramble about is certainly welcome!
