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 the most successful recording artists of all time.

He’s definitely a winner in my book. And while falling down, dusting yourself off and keeping it moving is an awesome lesson, it’s not the one I wanted to teach you today.

As I mentioned, Rogers wrote some top notch stuff. And if you listen closely,  "The Gambler" has a great lesson in it. too. I mean, everyone can recite that classic chorus, right?

"You got to know when to hold’em; know when to fold’em; know when to walk away; know when to run…"

Stay with me.

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.

Pay close attention:

You have to know when to stand up and scream at the top of your lungs but also when to STFD and STFU.

Know the difference between those 2 "whens"? If not, then you need to listen to someone who does. Like me. Give you a little hint pilgrim: it’s "C______ vs. C______." And it’s one of the 1st lessons I teach in the Fiercely Independent Expat International Relocation eCourse.

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!

And more importantly, you now have the opportunity to turns lemons into lemonade and parlay that experience into a $10,000 payday.

Make sense, right?

Chew on that one, Pilgrim. And watch what’s coming up next.

Blink 2 times and you might miss it…

FYONNL!
