Like Lisa, I too choose to live out in the “sticks” – although, In my case that’s the Parc National de Limousine et Perigord – a rural part of France, best known to the English as Dordogne country. A place of such outstanding beauty, agricultural and historical abundance, the English waged a 100 year war against the French to try and wrest it.

I live in a house that has stood for over 700 years (in parts), which is an on-going source of renovation and restoration. I have with me my first wife, my youngest daughter and her husband, their 3 children, a dog, 3 cats, asorted chickens… and… my mother-in-law (4 generations under 1 roof).

My sources of financial income are varied, and although my need is no longer so great, I still like to derive income by way of the internet.

My aspirations now are more focused on reducing my reliance upon centralised utilities and fractional banking systems… although I have no wish to become a “hippy”. I still like to travel and find myself developing a greater affection for trains, rather than planes or automobiles.

I haven’t worn a wrist-watch for 7 years.

For some while I have realised that success is a journey… not a destination.

Great video and great advice for everyone to follow. I am going to tweak what I normally do and incorporate what you are saying.

Here’s to the an INCREDIBLE 2012 for you, me, and all your readers!

Believe and Achieve!
