Looking for some thoughts from those who have relocated or rebranded

Hi Everyone

I have started to make the decision than I will relocate to the London area. When exactly will depend on how I can get my finances in order as I have had bad investment losses and also have debt.

As those who have been bored by my blogs know I have also had some personal problems which all thrown together actually made me lose some of my enthusiasm for my work.

I love london and the place inspires me. So I want to relocate there. I am also finding since I made the decision to do so I have been spending more time thinking about what I really want from my career and what inspires me.

I want to move forward with positivity but also balance.

Spa foot and hand treatments is what does it for me. Old school relaxing manicures and pedicures is what makes me happy. Since becoming allergic to acrylic I was thinking about branching into lashes and other add ons, but instead I want to find my passion again for the services that made me get into the industry.

So basically in this thread I am looking for any hints people might have that have either relocated or re branded drastically.

What things did you find difficult?

What things were easier than you thought?

And lastly how scary was it? lol. I have moved to different countries many times without a job or a friend in the world but for some reason this move makes me more nervous because I will have to build a business when I get there.

Hi I cant really offer you any advice on you exciting plan as when we relocated it was still in the same town. Our outlook when we decided to move was simple if we stayed where we were we may as well close, or move and go for it. We opted for the move which was scary in its self as we were moving to the outskirts or town (from town centre) but a year down the line we are approx 200% up and still climbing so it has been all positive for us. My opinion, if you can raise the money, have the drive, will power & support to make it happen then go for it. We couldn't live our lives based on what ifs, we would rather give it our all and if things go wrong, learn from our mistakes and move on. Good luck with what ever you decide. xx
