Dien,
thanks for posting the 2 articles. I really enjoyed Joe's story:
"Let’s take a super down to earth guy like Joe from Witch’s Rock Surf Camp... He drove a school bus from San Diego to Costa Rica, landed on the beach and called it a surf camp. (Hippie). But wait, now he has two hotels, three restaurants, a surf shop, a clothing line, makes surf boards with world famous Robert August, and started a micro-brewery. Men’s Journal said he has the second coolest job in the world next to Tom Brady."
I followed the link from your second article, looks like Joe's created a great lifestyle for him and his family...
The only thing I don't like about this type of article is that they really whet your appetite for an improved lifestyle via your own business but don't really get to the nuts and bolts of how to do just that...
I read the "4 hour work week" by TF and thought "yeah" I'd like that but it looks a lot easier in his book than it does in real life.
Sorry that comes off as being negative, wasn't meant too

. Just sometimes I get frustrated that I'm not (at the moment) able to do what others seem capable of doing in their sleep almost
Best regards,
Paul.
