    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Rough winter? I'm from near Toronto myself and have been keeping up with family there dealing with the brutal cold and snowstorms this year. Moving from the endless winter there was a great decision.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    This is an important take, I don't think I could live somewhere worried about my safety or observing extreme poverty daily. I've found a relative balance with this in Portugal. The many Portuguese I've met don't seem to be struggling and I meet them all through BJJ classes which are a want...

    I'm very interested to hear how this change of mind occurred! Especially as I am still living in Portugal. Given that the thread is full of people saying the warm & sunny climate did it for them, what were your struggles in the end?

    I'm on the exact same page. In the summer when the sun is up, so am I. I can wake up early, dive right into my tasks for the day and often get through it with blazing efficiency. Why? Because if I do I accomplish two things at once - I progress with my business, and I can get outside and to...

    I can't say I'm keen on living anywhere in/around Egypt for a variety of reasons. Stability and safety is a huge factor. The French Islands aren't a bad idea actually... while the affordability issue arises, that is something that becomes less of a problem as time & business progress. I...

    A solid option, though I am not sure the slightly warmer temperatures compared to Southern Portugal are worth the added travel difficulties. Do you winter there often? I've heard the local community is not too fond of expats recently.

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Truly a stretch to find anything perfect! Need to focus on appreciating a place that checks most of the boxes. I've considered the Sunshine Coast but unfortunately being that far away from family in Canada is not something I would be able to sell my fiancee on. We've considered North East...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'm feeling the same in Algarve, Portugal even though we are one of the sunniest regions in Europe. I feel silly complaining about it as I could be in Canada with 4-5 months of winter ahead of me but climate is a huge deal for me. I thrive in the sun and daylight and that is gone by about 5...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I've been living in Algarve, Portugal for over 1.5 years now and could not be happier. For the first time in my life, I live somewhere that I cannot wait to return to. I feel no need to get away, I barely think about vacations anymore... I live every single day in a destination that people...

    My SEO is crap, Need feedback

    MARKETING 
    Yes, if I showed up on a forum with nothing to offer and asking for free advice I would take the risk and put my billion-dollar idea out for all to see. Either way, this forum will not give you the magic answers you need. A few basic tips will not solve your SEO problems, you need to invest A...

    My SEO is crap, Need feedback

    MARKETING 
    If your SEO is crap your competitors are already beating you. It's doubtful you are working in a field with no competition. You came to a forum with plenty of experts in the exact skill you need help with but have given them nothing to work with. Nobody is going to hand you the answers you...

    Young fastlaners: SHUT DOWN ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've been slowly cutting social media out over the last year for one month at a time and then reintroducing it. Each time I reintroduce it, I use it significantly less and find it less addicting but I still feel a massive shift in my mental health and focus. While there is beneficial content...

    Do you work weekends?

    EXECUTION 
    I've fallen into the habit of working every single day... sometimes it feels wrong. Yet when I take a step back and force myself to take a break I often get bored and wish to be working as I do enjoy it. Struggling to find a proper balance. Planning to try keeping Sundays for family and...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    Noticing this more & more myself as well. While I love my old friends and value the role they played in my life, it seems to get harder to really connect with them as time goes on. I find the same detachment exists even with family. Our lives have diverged so drastically. Their conversations...

    I'd probably have taken Spain as well for the economic benefits, larger population and warmer sea/weather overall. Portugal was our only option coming from Canada since my fiancee could get her citizenship by descent. Portugal has a lot happening especially in Lisbon/Porto. The Algarve is...

    An important note about the lifestyle in the Algarve - the place is retirement central, especially during the winter. Before I moved here I thought it was an exaggeration, but it is very true. Everywhere I go during this time of year I am one of (if not the) youngest people there, and I am not...

    I live in the Algarve right now and it is a fantastic place having come from the freezing depths of Canada. Walking around in shorts & a t-shirt (during the day only) in November is quite a game changer. I do want to give you a heads-up that the NHR is supposed to end by 2024. The Portuguese...

    The Ultimate Status Symbol? It's Not What You Think...

    MINDSET 
    Thank you for sharing. I resonated with two points you've made quite a bit. I find this to be the biggest struggle. I strive to be as responsive and helpful for my customers as possible, but the more I look at it I think my approach actually takes away from their experience. Yes, they can jump...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    That is my concern as well, unfortunately after your time within the NHR runs out you are subjected to a brutal tax rate. They just recently launched a "streamlined" process to open a business here, but knowing how the bureaucracy works here on a day to day I highly doubt it is very simple...

    It's actually been a blessing. While I hate to see business owners getting ripped off by these terrible companies, it's truly helped us build a loyal client base. When clients see the difference in the quality of our work, and especially our customer service, they fall in love with it. Most of...
