In Episode 42 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, Brian and I are back for PART 2 of our Caribbean adventure, and this time we're taking you to the stunning island of Bequia! After exploring Grenada's properties and finding some serious contenders in Part 1, we're heading to St. Vincent and Bequia to see if this hidden gem in the Grenadines could be THE location for The Holmestead Hideaway. If you thought Part 1 was exciting, buckle up - because Part 2 is where everything gets real, and some big decisions are about to be made.

From the moment we step off the ferry onto Bequia's shores, something shifts. This episode takes you through our property tours in Bequia, the sailboat culture that defines this island, and the kind of community connections that make you fall in love with a place. We're comparing Grenada vs. Bequia side-by-side - the costs, the infrastructure, the community vibes, and what each location means for our three-year timeline to launch The Holmestead Hideaway. You'll hear Brian's honest take on both islands (spoiler: his opinion might surprise you!), the faith conversations that brought us clarity, and the practical next steps we're taking to turn this Caribbean dream into reality. Plus, we're revealing our decision process and sharing how YOU can be part of this journey.

This isn't just about finding property - it's about finding where your business vision, your values, and God's plan intersect perfectly. Whether you're considering international expansion, dreaming about a retreat center of your own, or just ready to see what happens when ambitious women stop talking about their dreams and start actively pursuing them, this episode gives you the roadmap, the real talk, and the reminder that your biggest dreams deserve your biggest actions.

The "I" in BIGGIE stands for Impact - and this Caribbean expansion is all about creating spaces where women can come together, dream bigger, and make real impact in their businesses and lives. Bequia showed us that sometimes the "backup option" becomes the primary choice when you actually show up and explore it.

Key Takeaways:

1. Visit your "second choice" location with an open mind - it might become your first choice
2. Smaller islands can offer bigger opportunities for authentic community integration
3. Sailboat and yachting culture creates unique business opportunities in Caribbean tourism
4. Infrastructure logistics matter: ferry schedules, airports, and supply chains affect operations
5. Cost comparisons must include shipping, supplies, and long-term operational expenses
6. Community acceptance is more valuable than the "perfect" property features
7. Your business partner's perspective reveals blind spots in your vision
8. Faith-led decisions still require concrete action steps and strategic planning
9. Document comparison factors: make lists, take photos, and evaluate objectively
10. Trust your gut AND do thorough research - both are essential for major decisions
11. The "best" location isn't always the most obvious or popular choice
12. Three-year timelines keep ambitious projects manageable and achievable
13. Island scouting teaches you about yourself, your priorities, and your non-negotiables
14. Sometimes clarity comes from seeing both options in person, not just on paper
15. How you can support and be part of The Holmestead Hideaway journey from day one
