 Hey, welcome back to my YouTube channel, guys. Before you move to New Zealand, you're going to want to check out these four services. Now, today I'm going to overview some services that I use. I've been using. I highly recommend. That really kind of helps you transition to New Zealand. And so you're not going to want to miss this video. If that's you, here we go. So this isn't going to be a long video today. I just want to highlight four services that I think is really helpful to you. If you are moving to New Zealand, I get this question all the time. And I feel like I repeat myself constantly. So I thought I would do this video for you because it's really great. And these are not, they're not sponsoring this video. They're not, you know, they're not receiving any money for this. This is actually companies and businesses that I use consistently as an American living in New Zealand. Okay. So the first thing I have to recommend is my training hub that I created last year. Now, I know that some of you don't love self promotion, but I truly believe in the products that I create. I spend a lot of time. I did a lot of research. I had a lot of clients. I had all of your questions. And then I created something that I actually solved a problem, filled a need, something that's useful. And I really believe in that. So basically what it is is it's just a membership. It's $30 a month. I was going to increase the price, but I've decided not to so far anyway. And so you might want to get in. And so basically what it is is there's no other product like it in the market, like nothing. And so basically what you do is you get, it's like this, it's if you are starting a business, you're going to go into it and you're going to make lots of mistakes. It's going to take you a little bit longer to kind of get going, right? But if it's the same as moving to another country, you're going to make a lot of mistakes. And it takes years and years and years to figure things out, to understand, to really understand the culture. I've been here for seven years now. And let me tell you, I am still learning. It's amazing. And all the things that I think I understood in my first and second year, totally wrong. Totally wrong. So what this does is helps you get there quicker. It helps you make less mistakes. It helps you come to that understanding, do better with work colleagues, understand how to handle a meeting here, how to get your kids in sports, how to set up a bank account. It's broken up into like everything you know before you come, you're about to come. And then when you're here, lots of culture training. I have other people involved doing trainings as well. Like it's all in there for you. In fact, I have increased my consulting fees because you don't really, everything's in the training hub. Just get the training hub. And there's no obligation. I don't say a minimum of three months. I don't, you can cancel anytime, you can go and you can watch what you need and you can cancel. It's fine. I want it to be useful to you. And in addition to all of the trainings, you get a live Q&A with me every month. And there's an online community that you get that you only get if you're in the training hub of all the other people moving here. So this is where you're going to make your friends. This is going to make people in the same situation as you where you can ask all of your questions. And we've been, I launched that I think back in June of last year and it's been great. It immediately, everybody loves it. And you can also request videos. So like if you want a video on a topic, just let me know. Like there's no way that you're not getting all the information you need all the time. So it's actually really helpful. Even if you've been here for a while, it's helpful. It's helpful. Now you come here and just have that as a resource. That's, you know, not expensive. And so I think that the training hub is really good. You should check it out. If you haven't, or if you think that there's something that would be more helpful, I'm happy to work on that as well. Number two, company or resource that I think is going to be most helpful for you. The most common question I get is tax. When you're an American moving overseas and you, no matter what country you are, you have to pay US taxes. And this has been a struggle for me. I have, I've done my own taxes and I've gotten charged 20 grand by IRS. I have worked with different accountants in the US and I highly recommend bright tax. Like I'm using them. I used them last year. I'm using them this year. I've talked to them a lot. They answer my questions and they're very quick. What's good about them is that they are based in the US, so all of their accountants really understand US tax. I would be surprised if there was any sort of taxes that people have to do around the world that are harder than the US taxes, especially when you own multiple companies like I do. And so it's really good that they know that, but they're also experts in New Zealand tax and I haven't found better. In fact, the, the, they found errors in my other ones that I've had from US accountants because they don't know New Zealand tax law. It's not a big country. Like people haven't figured out. So, and then also all of the accountants here are very familiar with UK and New Zealand and not familiar with the US. And so if you need tax resources, bright tax, even if you just email them and ask a question or like, how would I handle this or how should I set up this business? Amazing. Could not recommend more. And number three is a company called Wise. It used to be called Transfer Wise. This is actually also helpful for anybody just traveling here. It's the only way that I transfer money from the US to New Zealand. Now, when you come here, you are going to find that US companies, credit card companies, investment companies, they don't like that you live here. They make everything difficult. I can't even log into my credit card. I literally have to call them from New Zealand in order to pay off a balance. Like if I bought something, it's, it's a whole other thing. So when you want to transfer money, you know, it's, you need to be able to do it easily. You need to be able to do it often and it cannot cost a lot. I have not found anything cheaper than Wise and you should check them out. If you ever need to move, I can like, it normally says it takes four hours to move money. It's generally less than that for me and I've been using it for years now and most of the people around here also recommend it. So no matter where you're coming from, Wise is the company that I would use to transfer money between countries. All right. Number four, last but not least, I highly recommend a company called Stackery and I've been using them for a little over a year now and let me explain this. It's really great when you move to New Zealand and there's less choice actually. It makes your life a little bit less stressful and easier and like, you only get three choices. That's what you get. But over time you can feel frustrated that you can't get things that you love or that you miss from the States and so and to get things shipped from the States is very expensive, you know, especially now. And the other thing is like you can, you know, when you buy from different stores and it doesn't even make sense. It's so expensive to ship from each individual one. So what this place does is that you can buy from all different stores, have it shipped to a address in New Hampshire that you don't have to pay any extra taxes on or anything and they ship it, they combine it all so it's less weight and just easier and then they ship it to you and they don't charge a lot just to do that and amazing. So you can get all of your Christmas shopping done, have it sent to that address and then they'll repackage it and make it all easy for you to send back to New Zealand and it's great. I love it. In fact, if I recall they give my audience a discount if you want to check it out and try it. If you're dying for some things from the States, you're going to want to check out Stackery. Okay, well I hope you enjoyed the video. There's tons of other resources that I have on my training hub. If you want to look at that. Also, a lot of people ask me about immigration officers. I, okay, this is what I tell my clients. You don't need an immigration officer to move here. Like they do everything well on the website. That's my first recommendation. You don't need one. If you do need one because you're comfortable with that, maybe your situation is more complicated, then I would use the ones on the immigration site that those are generally pretty good and my clients have thought pretty well. I've recommended some in the past that I'm not happy with them at this point. So no go there. But there's just a lot of resources, a lot of things I can help you with. So don't hesitate to reach out because I'm here to help. And I hope you guys are doing well. I hope you found this to be helpful.
