Well everyone,

I’m about to enter into the most valuable partnership you could possibly imagine…

This is a “deal” I’ve been working on for the last 3 years, and both sides of it have been increasingly anxious for things to get rolling.

The payoffs are uncertain.

The risk is high.

But the rewards are immeasurable and beyond valuable…

And I even if I lost everything after going through with this, it would’ve still been worth it.

(If you haven’t guessed it already - I’m getting married :-) )

Her name is Sarah, and we’re becoming a married couple on the 30th of this month - and man, I have never been more excited (albeit UNprepared) in my entire life!

Sarah and Chris Rempel

This is the girl of my dreams, and regardless of the pure chaos surrounding both of us at the moment, there is an overriding and internal peace that is acting as an anchor - steadying a ship that’s being thrown about and jostled by the waves of uncertainty and the winds of temporary hardship.

Because the true beauty of marriage is the gift of sharing in life - storm or no storm. It is the ability to shine through life’s “valleys” as well as its “peaks” with a steadfast consistency, regardless of the situation.

(That’s something I have to work on - I tend to be very “conditional”. When things are good, I feel great. When things are bad - or worse, slow - I default to having a bad attitude, even though I fully realize that it’s just another dip in the rhythmic roller coaster that life is. Especially when you’re just starting out…)

And so here we go - diving in head first into a river that has a clear destination - but is filled with twists and turns.

Along the way, we’ll encounter a mix of gentle currents, raging rapids, low-hanging fruit, sheer cliffs that need to be scaled, beautiful scenery, dangerous currents, abundant greenery, numerous obstacles, and pleasant (yet unexpected) surprises…

Most of all, as the journey progresses, we’ll both of us be able look back at where we started, which will reveal the oft-unseen strength and depth of our own characters, and the deepening of our love for eachother, that is incrementally produced in the midst of enduring the pain, pleasure and purpose of journeying down the river of life.

A river where we have total control over our actions and our responses to what we’re facing in each moment - but absolutely NO control over where it flows or what’s around each new bend…

But we’re both in it together, and the journey won’t be travelled alone.

And nothing on this earth is as valuable as that…

—————————————————————————————-

After our wedding, we’ll be heading to Costa Rica for the next 6 months to simply enjoy the first “footings” of our marriage in a relaxed and laid-back environment. Everything about Sarah and I is unconventional (entirely), and we wouldn’t have it any other way :-)

So, I’ll probably be under the radar for the next 3 weeks or so (we’ll be staying at a resort in Guanacaste for the first week and a bit), and then I’ll be setting up office somewhere in view of a nice beach with longboard waves…

Like this one:

Costa Rica Palmtree

And that also means that if you’re emailing me or something, then I’ll probably have a 120-hour response rate for the next while…

So - sorry in advance, but I have the rest of my life to set up deals and make the green stuff. For the next few weeks, I want to focus entirely on the “end”, and not the “means”…

This is something (getting married, honeymoon) that I only plan on doing ONCE, so I’m not going to let the trivial things of life interfere during our special time of learning to walk “in step” with eachother.

However, I WILL be actively marketing my ebook and working directly with my primary client, probably for about an hour or two a day - but only after our time at the resort…

So if you want to help me get the word out about the Instant JV System, then feel free to drop an email after October 10th.

Once we get settled in Costa Rica (probably in early November), then I’ll gradually resume my usual schedule (about 5-6 hours a day of JV stuff).

So this might be my last blog post for a while :-)

Remember to focus on WHY we do this. WHY we strive to create and manage a successful business, and WHY we’re passionate about creating a life of freedom and abundance. Think about what you really want from life - and open your eyes to what it really means to be wealthy.

It’s not about having stuff. It’s about being rich, regardless of however we might think success is measured…

Until next time, may God Bless you and yours as you travel down the seemingly uncertain - yet entirely purposeful and majestic - “river” that we call life.

And remember that regardless of whatever you may be facing today - be it the still waters or the raging whitewater and jagged cliffs - the River’s final destination remains the same.

The One who designed its path will keep you strong until the end. Even if you just barely make it.

Hang on for the ride, and never look back.

It’s more than worth it…
