      CONCLUSION
      I loved this interview with Tim Leffel because he is living the life of his dreams. He set out to do something he loved and has become an expert in his field. For an hour we talk about how he has made his dream a reality as an expat entrepreneur, and what you can do to follow in a similar path, and as one of my mentors always says, find someone who is having success doing what you want to do and model them...
      On The Expat Money Show, I aim to bring in the best expat entrepreneurs from around the globe who are doing some really incredible things. Tim Leffel shows us that patience is a virtue and that if you always do the very best you can do and stick to a plan you can have a truly wonderful life!
