‘Would you like to pay in Local Currency or your Home Currency?’

Ever been asked that question when buying something overseas?

Here’s what you should say...

“It was done immediately, within 24 hrs.” 

To some 24 hrs is immediate. To others, it’s way too long to wait. It’s all relative.

In this week's episode...it's getting personal!

I genuinely believe that the best lessons in life are the ones you experience. But what if you're only starting out and you don't have a lot of life experience to call on?

In that case, a great way to learn is from other people's life lessons.

With that in mind, I want to share my own personal journey. 

Whether you're just getting started, or at a point in your life where you're thinking about your next steps, I share my story in the hope that it might offer some insight into at least how one person got here.

Thanks for listening.

Many of the founders who where there when the Spa Industry started to take shape 20+ years ago, are approaching retirement age. 

That might mean some good businesses are ripe for acquisition...and at a good price too.

Last year I predicted 2019 would be a big year for Spa & Wellness Mergers & Acquisitions. That seems to be playing out.

But something I didn’t see was consolidation within the industry like this.
