One of the biggest questions we get is how to make it in Hawaii, how much time you need to give to adjusting to the Island lifestyle and the Positives and Negatives of possibly moving to Hawaii. This is HUGE and I think we really put a Great 45 min Podcast together to really cover most of the bases. The truth is…Hawaii is what you make of it…Some people love it…some people hate it…it depends on the kind of person you are if you MAKE IT OR BREAK IT here, as the 1-1 ½ year itch is usually the “End Game” for many…If you make it past the TWO YEAR mark and are able to adjust to the Hawaii lifestyle you are 99% certain you won’t be ever leaving Hawaii.
We personal thank a listener “MAX” on our Podcast for writing a spirited and passionate response to our last Podcast “LIVING IN HAOLEWOOD” because we know this is a touchy subject for many. We hit on the weather here in Hawaii which has been sunny one minute and rainy the next…but the best thing about this wacky weather are the Rainbows and Double Rainbows that we happen to catch in front of Koko Crater this week…Rainbows and even double rainbows can be seen daily here in Hawaii, but where they show up is what makes it special, almost as if you are in a SPIRITUAL TRANCE as we had been when we saw the double Rainbow in front and below the Volcanic Crater rim of Koko…VERY RARE and another AMAZING reason why we are so LUCKY WE LIVE HAWAII! Considering this podcast this week is mainly about making ends meet here in Hawaii we touch on some GREAT Farmers Markets which are essential if you intend to survive the Sticker Shock of food prices here…You need to buy LOCAL from local Farmers, NOT major food chains…This is not only cheaper for you, it’s better for the local economy, for the Farmers and you KNOW you are getting Organic Pure Produce which is one of the reasons why those who live here are happier and healthier, so if visiting or now living here check out the link to find the best Farmers Markets around: http://www.hawaii-aloha.com/blog/2013/05/10/oahu-farmers-markets/
Also, today we take questions from our Ohana concerning what it takes to live the life of Aloha and be a part of that amazing Lifestyle. We hope to do more of this and get you guys involved, but you need to do your part and ask questions and write comments so we can make our Podcast and Blog better for all of you. Our Podcast is about building relationships and Ohana. You are our family, so having you involved in discussions are essential for every ones success! Trust me, we want to one day see you guys living the dream in the 808.
So to our main topic today…Making it or Breaking it in Hawaii…As you can see here in this Photo, Many MAKE IT! Do you see the SMILES on my friends faces??? Many of us came from somewhere else and so this Podcast may have some negatives in it, but these faces are PROOF you can make it, be very happy and succeed in Paradise if you have the balls to do so as well as the passion! Some people however, just can’t hack it in Hawaii and so they give up and in turn start to play in their head and tell others why they don’t like Hawaii. This allows them a cop-out, or soft landing, giving them an excuse to leave in their own minds. We have seen this so many times, we know the bullshit flight response…it’s not that they BREAK IT, it’s just that they have NO BALLS to MAKE IT and see it through to the end and so find an easy excuse to leave so they don’t feel bad about getting on that lonely flight home.
