<p>So what&#8217;s the difference between being smart and being intelligent, Nada? Good question. Glad you asked.</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>The difference between being smart and being intelligent is this: </strong><strong>Smart Men learn from their mistakes. Intelligent Men learn from the mistakes of <em>OTHERS</em>.</strong></p>
<p>And when it comes to mistakes moving overseas let me tell you, I&#8217;ve really stubbed my toe. But that&#8217;s a story for another day, Pilgrim.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t act smartly. Act intelligently. Sign up for the <a href="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">Fiercely Independent Expat eCourse</a> and save your energy, money and your most precious, non-renewable resource: your time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goingghost.com%2Fblog%2Fsnatching-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goingghost.com%2Fblog%2Fsnatching-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><span class="drop_cap">O</span>f the times I&#8217;ve taught the <a href="http://goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">FIE International Relocation eCourse</a>&nbsp;I always see a pattern emerge. I call it &quot;snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.&quot; You see, the men that&nbsp; graduate my course have completed about 95% of what they need to move overseas in a long-term, sustainable manner. The other 5% you can&#8217;t account for no matter how hard you try&#8211;that&#8217;s just life.</p>
<p>And these guys are so stoked, at the onset; so fired up with enthusiasm, zest and joie de vivre that I feed off of that positive energy and it allows me to dig into my memory banks and pull out gems of wisdom I&#8217;d long since forgotten over my 13 year journey. You&#8217;d think every thing was gravy then right?&nbsp;</p>
<p>WRONG.</p>
<p>Many (not all of them mind you but many) arrive to a certain point, that zentih&#8211;then they drop right over a cliff and disappear. It&#8217;s like they fly over the Bermuda Triangle. Baffles me, quite frankly.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t quite put my finger on it but I have my suspicions: I think they actually fear VICTORY. I suspect they arrive at a point where they can see success right around the bend; they get an actual glimpse of the &quot;Promised Land&quot; they&#8217;ve fantasized so long and often about and subconsciously begin to place new stumbling blocks and obstacles in their paths. Is it because they believe they&#8217;ll be disappointed? Do they cave in to family pressure? Who knows.</p>
<p>What I try to get across to them is that you don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s on the other side until you take that leap of faith. And I teach them the best way to research and experience 80% of what they need to know before ever setting one foot in country. That way, there are no surprises&#8211;at least not any unpleasant ones.</p>
<p><img width="500" height="339" src="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/45184754_30a7456ebd.jpg" alt="45184754_30a7456ebd" title="45184754_30a7456ebd" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1849" /></p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the solution to this Nada? Good question. Glad you asked. Seeing as how I&#8217;m not quite sure what it is, I&#8217;m going to go out on a limb and say it&#8217;s &quot;perfect picture&quot; syndrome. They expect to have the entire puzzle laid out neatly before they dip their pinky toe in the pool.</p>
<p><strong>Forget perfection</strong>. <strong>Perfectionism is the enemy of action. Kill it, immediately.</strong> Excuses like, &quot;I&#8217;ll never have enough scratch&quot; or &quot;My language skills aren&#8217;t quite up to par&quot; are just that: excuses. Besides, I show you exactly how to overcome these obstacles or at least mitigate them inside my ecourse. You can&rsquo;t let perfect stop you from doing.</p>
<p class="note"><em>Remember: it doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough.</em></p>
<p>The more excuses you make the more time you waste from not doing the things YOU want to do. And let me tell you, life outside the Anglosphere can be as mild as a Sunday afternoon jam sandwich or as wild as Disneyland, Six Flags and Las Vegas, on New Years&#8217; Eve while drunk off&nbsp; Absolut/Red Bulls and rolling on &quot;E&quot;. <u>All rolled into one</u>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll put it like this:</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>You can turn a bad plan into a good one, but you can&rsquo;t turn no plan into a good plan.</strong></p>
<p>So get going. Put forth that extra effort no matter how uncomfortable it makes you and GET GOING.</p>
<p>Chew on that one, Pilgrim.</p>

<p><span class="drop_cap">&quot;T</span>he mat is my church, the ground is my heaven, Jiu-Jitsu is my religion.&quot;&#8211;BJJ Featherweight legend Draculino. Well about 10 years ago or so, there was a pretty big rivalry between BJJ guys and Sambo guys. [The word &quot;Sambo&quot; is an acronym of<span lang="ru" xml:lang="ru"> the Russian words </span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">(</span></span><span lang="ru" xml:lang="ru"><i><b>SAM</b>ozashchita <b>B</b>ez <b>O</b>ruzhiya</i>)</span>, meaning &quot;self-defense without weapons&quot;.--Wikipedia.]</p>
<p>At that time, BJJ was kicking everyone&#8217;s ass but had a hole in its strategy big enough to drive a Mack truck through it: <u>ignorance of leglocks</u>. And when the heavies of these 2 camps met behind closed doors, rumor has it that BJJ discovered they needed to plug that leak real quick. You see, Sambo (like BJJ) has its base in Japanese Judo but they specialize in lower body submissions.</p>
<p>Now, I don&#8217;t know how much truth there is to it, but i read an interesting comment about the Russian martial art Sambo a few years ago. It was military related. Supposedly the Russians believed that if you broke a mans leg in battle, <u>you were really taking 3 men out of the fray: the man who&#8217;s leg you broke, and the 2 men that had to carry him.</u></p>
<p>So what&#8217;s that got to do with the tea in China, Nada? Good question. Glad you asked. We men can use Sambo strategy to swing the pendulum back to our favor. There are 3 manifestations of self defense against Entitlement Materialist Feminism: 1) Celibacy, 2) Expat/Foreign Wives and 3) Pick Up Artists. Obviously, my camp is the Expatriation strategy.</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>When you go expat, you defeat Entitlement Feminism by starving the system legally.</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see what astute MRA &quot;The Fifth Horseman&quot; over at <em><strong>The Spearhead</strong></em> had to say on this exact strategy:</p>
<blockquote><p> The Fifth Horseman <a href="http://www.the-spearhead.com/2009/11/04/a-womans-nation-changes-everything/#comment-7847" title="Permalink to this comment" rel="nofollow">November 4, 2009 at 2:56 pm</a></p>
<p><i>It would be enjoyable to see what would become of the woman&rsquo;s nation if all the men did in fact expat. All of them.</i></p>
<p>If even 10% of them expat, women are screwed. Remember what I said : each man Expating cuts off THREE parasites : the state, the woman, and the industries the woman stimulates (weddings, housing, divorce lawyers, etc.).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So for fear of oversimplification, you really handle your part of taking a stand against anti-male, anti-family societies by just living your life normally overseas. You know the best way to get started, right? Well, the <a href="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">Fiercely Independent Expat eCourse</a> silly rabbit.</p>
<p>Now go train grappling arts! It&#8217;s great exercise for you.</p>
<p>How you like them apples, Pilgrim?</p>

One that will determine your destiny. Now before we begin, there are some parameters that we must both agree upon and I don&#8217;t believing in mincing words.</p>
<ol>
<li>You are reading this because you realize that Entitlement Feminist 1st World Societies (1WS) are in a sad, sad state of affairs&#8211;in other words, Nero fiddles.</li>
<li>You believe that barring some type of <em>mass awakening plus massive action</em>, things are headed in the wrong direction and will correct themselves either the &#8216;easy&#8217;&nbsp; way or <u>real easy</u>.</li>
<li>You prefer to have control over your own destiny and plan to do something about it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now, given those parameters there are two ways to go about things from here on out. Both ways are represented by the photos below. And make no mistake, the ball is already in motion. And whether you like it or not:</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>You have to make a conscious decision NOW or the decision will be made FOR you.</strong></p>
<p>You can go through Door #1&#8211;the DIMS route: &quot;Digging In to Make a Stand&quot;</p>
<p><img width="500" height="375" src="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/digging_in.jpg" alt="digging_in" title="digging_in" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1809" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>OR</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can choose Door #2&#8211;GTFO: expatriation or <u>Getting The &quot;Hell&quot; Out.</u></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img width="500" height="333" src="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/over_the_wall.jpg" alt="over_the_wall" title="over_the_wall" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1810" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s blatantly obvious, I&#8217;ve cut my losses and chose door #2. Now you may be asking yourself, &#8216;&quot;Well what happens when things go south there, Nada?&quot; Good question. Glad you asked.</p>
<p class="note"><strong>I&#8217;ll just pack my stuff and head to the next expat destination.</strong></p>
<p>LOL, what did you expect me to say?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the beautiful thing about the <a href="http://goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">Fiercely Independent Expat eCourse</a>. It is dynamic. It changes as YOU change. It changes as global events change. It allows you to take advantage of Globalization and Geoarbitrage.</p>
<p>Just because I chose Latin America as my stomping grounds doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t choose Asia or Eastern Europe or Africa. The world is a HUGE place and there are still several areas of the world that are actually sane. If anyone tells you anything different, they&#8217;re trying to sell you woof tickets.</p>
<p>Try that one on for size, Pilgrim.</p>

Actually, my sister and I both were. She would listen to &quot;Lady&quot; while my favorite tune of his was &quot;The Gambler&quot;. And don&#8217;t front on Kenny Rogers, bro. He failed at one genre and then got back up, reinvented himself and became one of the most successful recording artists of all time.</p>
<p><img width="375" height="500" src="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the_gambler.jpg" alt="the_gambler" title="the_gambler" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1721" /></p>
<p>He&#8217;s definitely a winner in my book. And while falling down, dusting yourself off and keeping it moving is an awesome lesson, it&#8217;s not the one I wanted to teach you today.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, Rogers wrote some top notch stuff. And if you listen closely,&nbsp; &quot;The Gambler&quot; has a great lesson in it. too. I mean, everyone can recite that classic chorus, right?</p>
<p class="note"><strong>&quot;You got to know when to hold&#8217;em; know when to fold&#8217;em; know when to walk away; know when to run&#8230;&quot;</strong></p>
<p><em>Stay with me.</em></p>
<p>Now, when you go expat you have to do the same thing. What do I mean? I mean when moving overseas, you have to have utter and complete discipline.</p>
<p><em>Pay close attention:</em></p>
<p class="alert"><strong>You have to know when to stand up and scream at the top of your lungs but also when to STFD and STFU.</strong></p>
<p>Know the difference between those 2 &quot;whens&quot;? If not, then you need to listen to someone who does. Like me. Give you a little hint pilgrim: it&#8217;s &quot;C______ vs. C______.&quot; And it&#8217;s one of the 1st lessons I teach in the <a href="http://goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">Fiercely Independent Expat International Relocation eCourse.</a></p>
<p>So when that $10,000 mistake your about to make is seconds away, I can grab on your hand, and yank you out of the way before you get clobbered. Your bruised, and battered but still in the game!</p>
<p>And more importantly, you now have the opportunity to turns lemons into lemonade and <u>parlay that experience into a $10,000 payday.</u></p>
<p>Make sense, right?</p>
<p>Chew on that one, Pilgrim. And watch what&#8217;s coming up next.</p>
<p>Blink 2 times and you might miss it&#8230;</p>

You have ZERO&nbsp;idea about what you&#8217;re doing, do you?. At least not when it comes to expatriating overseas. Go on, tell the truth. Not to me; tell it to yourself.</p>
<p>In fact, I bet if you were to execute what you have in mind right now as far as expat plans are concerned, <strong>you&#8217;d end up as lost as you would had you taken a night hike through a cornfield maze.</strong></p>
<p><img width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1704" title="corn_maze3" alt="corn_maze3" src="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corn_maze3.jpg" /></p>
<p>Now this is not a dig on you. Actually I&#8217;m helping you to see the facts. Because right now, the facts are that you&#8217;re probably scrimping and cutting corners looking for the best deals here or the best bargains over there. Let&#8217;s get one thing perfectly clear:</p>
<p>While it&#8217;s OK to economize, it is NOT okay to be cheap. No need to spend a fortune, but realize you&#8217;re taking a huge risk and a life-altering event here. Act accordingly and invest in yourself.</p>
<p class="note"><strong>I repeat: fumbling around in the dark, wasting time and energy will have you doing little more than jumping over dollars to get pennies.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s time you tried something different with your expat plans, right?</p>
<p>Chew on that one, pilgrim. And sign up for the <a href="http://goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">Fiercely Independent Expat </a>ecourse right now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goingghost.com%2Fblog%2Ftoo-many-irons-in-the-fire%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goingghost.com%2Fblog%2Ftoo-many-irons-in-the-fire%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>It&#8217;s a very satisfying feeling being able to help you, man-to-man,&nbsp; <a href="http://goingghost.com/blog/become-an-inner-circle-member/">Find Your Own Never Never Land</a>. I know how hard and long I traversed to locate my ideal expat destination. I know how much time, energy, research and resources it takes and the frustrations of trying to find the right fit. But after 13 long years, 7 countries, countless plane trips, and numerous airport terminals, I&#8217;ve done it.&nbsp; And now so can you&#8211;without all the rigmarole.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>Because I&#8217;ve discovered a shortcut. And seeing as how I&#8217;ve come up with the best system on the market to do so, <u>that is all I do</u>. My goal is to GET&nbsp;MEN&nbsp;OUT. Period. Point-blank. For me, helping you find your base camp is step #1. Facilitating business deals, real estate transactions, investment opportunities, etc. all comes later after you plant your flag.</p>
<p>You see, I realized early on into this game that you can&#8217;t be everything to everybody.&nbsp; You&#8217;ll eventually have too many irons in the fire, you spread yourself thin and you accomplish barely a fraction what you could&#8217;ve done otherwise. So I let the experts in those field work their magic while I work mine. But I see a problem with expats, too.</p>
<p><img width="430" height="500" src="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/irons_in_fire.jpg" alt="irons_in_fire" title="irons_in_fire" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1661" /></p>
<p>The problem is that most guys get Bright Shiny Object Syndrome and turn heads the moment a new country or area of the world promising &quot;investment opportunities&quot; passes them by in a seductive, alluring bikini. That&#8217;s all well and good if you stick to your guns buy most Men don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the solution, Nada? Good question. Glad you asked.</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>You have to find ONE path and stick to it until you see results. One path. One.</strong></p>
<p>Make a decision on what you want to do and DO NOT stray from that path until you have completed what you set out to do.&nbsp; Anything that doesn&rsquo;t move you forward is just holding you back or leading you astray. You can see what I said about that in a quick video <a href="http://www.goingghost.com/blog/strippers-ass-pt-2/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t lose the focus on your expat destination! Soon, you&#8217;ll do what every other escaped slave does after they make it out of the Woman&#8217;s Nation Plantation:</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Have fun and live your life to the fullest!</p>
<p>Now go chew on that one, Pilgrim.</p>
