Sometimes, less is more. And with that in mind, watch this quick video from the George Clooney movie, "Three Kings". It’ll tell you everything you need to know about being afraid to move overseas.
Quoting Dale Carnegie:
"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy."
Expatriation is a tricky, tricky game. On the one hand, you have the ability to live out your wildest secret agent manly-man fantasies of wealth, women, family and personal freedom. On the other, you have the very real possibility of being caught in Shaft’s precarious situations–especially when you try to go it alone.
So what’s the difference between being smart and being intelligent, Nada? Good question. Glad you asked.
The difference between being smart and being intelligent is this: Smart Men learn from their mistakes. Intelligent Men learn from the mistakes of OTHERS.
And when it comes to mistakes moving overseas let me tell you, I’ve really stubbed my toe. But that’s a story for another day, Pilgrim.
Don’t act smartly. Act intelligently. Sign up for the Fiercely Independent Expat eCourse and save your energy, money and your most precious, non-renewable resource: your time.
FYONNL!

What do you think? Please comment below to tell me.
Of the times I’ve taught the FIE International Relocation eCourse I always see a pattern emerge. I call it "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." You see, the men that 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’t account [...]
When I was a kid, I was a Kenny Rogers fan. Actually, my sister and I both were. She would listen to "Lady" while my favorite tune of his was "The Gambler". And don’t front on Kenny Rogers, bro. He failed at one genre and then got back up, reinvented himself and became one of [...]
Let’s face fact. You have ZERO idea about what you’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.
In fact, I bet if you were to execute what you have in mind right now as far as expat plans are concerned, [...]
It’s a very satisfying feeling being able to help you, man-to-man, Find Your Own Never Never Land. 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 [...]
You know, I get guys that contact me, hear my prices and then decide to do things on their own. I try to warn them that experience is the best teacher and that of the problems they’ll face, I’ve been through probably 80% of them. The other 20% I simply avoid altogether.
But they don’t listen. They [...]
Lots of guys arrive on my site asking me questions about Expat life, how to move overseas, etc. but most have no intentions of doing so. They’re trying to find themselves, dipping their toes in the water to see if it’s suitable for a swim. That’s understandable. Everyone has questions and I answer every inquiry [...]
So I was watching a conversation over at my favorite new blog, The Spearhead, and lo and behold if the reaction wans’t EXACTLY like I’ve told you in past missives that it would be when 1WF learn the score about us expatriating from the Woman’s Nation.
Some expat named "Dat_Truth_Hurts" laid the cold, hard reality out [...]
If you don’t know, I live here in Colombia, South America. There’s a reason for that; actually several but we’ll just tackle one today: international travel. You see, whenever I visit family and friends back stateside, I always get funny vibes passing through airport terminals. Sure, security is absolutely necessary but the criminal manner in [...]
