🌅 A New Chapter Begins 🌍 This morning brought a moment of reflection… Some of you may already know that my wife and I recently made the bold decision to change direction in life — embracing a new adventure under the Spanish sun (even if it’s a little cloudy today!). We’ve relocated to the beautiful island of Lanzarote, in search of a healthier work-life balance. I’m incredibly fortunate to have secured a three-year Digital Nomad Visa, which allows me to work remotely from Spain. After years of constant travel and time spent away from my family, this move is about prioritising what truly matters. Professionally, I’ll be focusing on growing Shape Associates Ltd, with some exciting new offerings in development — one of which I’ll be announcing very soon. It’s a nerve-racking but exciting time. Remote working is a new challenge for someone who’s always been hands-on and on-site. But as I’ve always encouraged others to step outside their comfort zones… now it’s my turn to practise what I preach. Here’s to new beginnings, bold moves, and building something meaningful — both personally and professionally. 💼✈️🌴 #DigitalNomad #RemoteWork #WorkLifeBalance #Entrepreneurship #Lanzarote #ShapeAssociates #NewBeginnings
