Would you move half a world away in your early 40s and start over?
That’s what one of my mentors and now good friend, Charles Burke, did
in the 1980s when he moved from the US to Japan.
His story inspired me to seek him out and we have talked on the
phone every couple of weeks for several years now.
Because I had a very busy day job and wasn’t on first name terms
with anyone who ran a real, live online business, I found his
perspective and support very helpful while I struggled to break free
from my employee mindset.
Lesson Learned - if you are serious about taking action on your
goals, go get a qualified mentor!
Charles now runs his online business from a pretty seaside village
on the Japanese Pacific coast. From where he’s created some very inspiring personal development material.
I invite you to check out his bullseye-living blog and say hello.
PS - And I notice he’s about to move locations from Japan to Thailand on 14 February - quite a Valentine’s present for Shioe and yourself, Charles! (Yes, of course, I’d love to come visit. Hint, Hint

Thanks for the kind words. And for those reading this who are teetering on the edge of going off and doing something semi-nuts, like moving to another country, Nike said it best: “Just do it.”
And of course you’re invited to come visit, Mark. It’ll be a pleasure to have you and your family come see us in Thailand.
Cheers from sunny Japan (for now),
Charles
