 Hey, hey, we're live. Oh gosh, just didn't do my hair. Here we are Welcome to Wednesday Wednesday with me Yeah, just this isn't planned I Just finished a big project Sent it and I was like I was gonna go read my book and then I was like no I'm gonna go live because I haven't gone live like forever and maybe nobody's here. So that's fun I'll just talk to myself to the screen, which is what I do most of the time anyway, so perfectly comfortable with it So anyway, um What should we talk about? Uh, so post questions if there's anybody here. Um, hi. Hi Stuart. Um I'm happy to answer questions anytime Um, I met with a client today. That's always good. So many people moving here so many people moving here I'm like, oh my gosh So, um, so exciting if you are in my membership, we are having a live q&a tomorrow. So, um, Good time to join if you're not in there Um, but you can also ask me questions right now. Like I'm totally flex. Um But yeah, and then it's so funny because I've had so many clients that like are just emailing me and like, oh We've moved here. We've been here. Oh, I didn't even know you got here yet It's like I'm starting the loose track. So, um, yeah So if you don't know me, we are a family of six have moved our family from the us to new zealand have been here for eight years And because I've created this channel and different social medias I've started helping others move here and it just kind of turned into something. It's nothing I don't make really any money to be honest. Um I spent a lot of time on this and that and really don't have a whole lot to show for it to be honest, but Um, you know, I guess it's just I love it. I'm hoping it gets bigger. I'm trying but it's um it's more of like I really wish I would have had somebody like me when I moved here and so I guess that's what I'm doing So if you um, are interested in the membership, you know, just comment below I can help you otherwise If you are considering a move here. I did I have a new 50 minute free master class I don't know. I hate the word master. Do you hate the word master class? I don't know what to call it I have a 50 minute video. How about a 50 minute video? Of me talking to you about everything you need to do because I'm getting thousands of questions all the time And I'm like, here's a video. Here's a video. I just needed somewhere to send people And then it's also a lot of insider tips. So all the things that you just wouldn't know just based on my eight years of experience Um, and again, it's limited to my experience. I don't know everything But I know a lot and especially if you're it doesn't have to be you don't have to be from the us but like most of the people are but not all and um You know, I just have that perspective like so like you can go and research all the information you need You can go to the immigration site everything you need to move here But what you don't get is like the difference and so what you're going to do is you're going to get here and you're going to be like Oh, this is a lot different than I was expecting And it's like and then how to function and thrive effectively how to get your kids sorted How to figure out where you want to live and all of that. So this is the point of the membership To have a place to get all that figured out. Um So i'm not my intention wasn't to come in here and talk about this, but I don't know why I did anyway so, um, I just um Yeah, I've just been getting some funny messages and things of people that have just moved here. I'm like, oh my gosh I didn't know and I was like, I know it's not it's not america It's not the same place And it's you know, it's a different place different words different ways of doing things different ways of doing a lot of things So um, so that's where it's at. Okay. It's like my hair is really comfortable So I don't want to take it out, but I don't really like it. So here we are um, actually Yeah, so some of my friends I've moved here like two years ago or moving not far from here So i'm going to go help them today uh Yeah, so americans are coming. Sorry kiwis. They're coming But it's good because it's a lot they do a lot of jobs that we need. Um You know a lot of doctors teachers nurses Um psychologists, um, this is generally what I hear if you are coming and you have a different type of Industry it's harder. I'm not going to lie to you It's harder, but let me just say that in the eight years that I've been here The way that the current government or it was started with the previous government um Has set up immigration is very complicated But also gives the most opportunity for all different scenarios. And so in essence, it's like the easiest time So you're at a good time if you want to come here. It's a good time to apply Um, but it's complicated to kind of figure out so I recommend using a immigration consultant because even me sitting down with them Like I've sat down with them. Okay, like what about the situation because like you guys tell me a lot of your situations And I go through them like this. What about this situation this situation? While it depends on is it Now if you need immigration consultants, all of this is in my membership Just join the membership hang out with me meet other people moving here. It's for you. I'm telling you Okay, all their news all their news. That's boring. Okay if You don't have my recipe book I may be printing it. It is currently at the printer right now. I have finished it this weekend. So I have been selling this This recipe book As an e-book for the last couple years and I getting a lot of people buying it right now And then they keep messaging me. Is there a physical copy of this? And I'm like, I don't know I haven't figured all that out and so I spent an hour last week researched it and um found that they don't really have Drop shipping here. Like it's not easy because I can't just they don't have like an amazon. I'm like, uh, so I'd have to like Print it have it sent here mail it to you. Hopefully by Christmas. So that's the situation Nothing's guaranteed by Christmas, but it's looking pretty good because I don't know how many I'm really going to print if I can't get it by Christmas um Like before Christmas and then a time for me to send it to you if you guys want it so if you don't know what it is it is a recipe book of Like all of the top american foods you guys are always asking me about and a lot of them I've actually done on this channel, but um, Not you know a couple of them anyway And I've translated them into new zealand Australian ingredients and so like you can make them here because it is different It's totally different and I pretty much use like, you know in temperature wise and how to do it I've adjusted it. Um, so that's available Hopefully soon if you want that so message me if you're interested I'm trying to really get a gauge on how many people might buy these So I know how many to order because you know what I don't want is a stack of That I didn't sell so there's that I was just doing it because people were requesting it It's not like it'll be this moneymaker and a huge fat hassle for me because I have to then ship them individually to everybody But it's kind of fun. It's kind of fun to like get things in print And I gotta stop looking at the file because I'm like, oh, I just saw one more error Like I'm like, oh gosh, you know because I was rushed because like I had to like it was like They're like we can't guarantee Christmas, but it would have to be tomorrow And I was like, oh, oh, I got to make a decision. Oh, okay. Um Okay, and I had to do a cover and it was the whole thing So that may be coming and it could be exciting and do I know the price? It's not going to be more than 25 But I have no idea really because there's a couple things I'm waiting for Um Yeah But yeah, so it should be fun My face on a book and this bigger publisher that will Provide it worldwide is looking at it as well. So but it's really intended for New Zealand Australia region So I suppose like it's really just like maybe Australia you can send it to but I don't know People are like, oh, well, then they have family over there. Yeah, okay anyway recipe book if you're interested because I've had some people that have gotten my e-book and have done the chocolate chip cookies And they're like I want three of those because I want to give them to everybody because that was the best recipe ever Because it is When I say best, I mean the best not this crappy hard cookies that you eat here Okay so And the deep dish Chicago style pizza literally took like so long for me to figure out the exact way to do it So you're not going to want to miss that um So comment below if you have questions at any point just I'm talking randomly I don't have a ton of time. What the heck time is it? Oh, so this is great. I don't know what time it is Um, because I have to pick up my summer school. I had about 20 minutes because you know, okay So I can just watch the time. I know what time I came on here. Okay Um, so I got to go soon, but I just I'm not going to talk long anyway. Okay So recipe book is is exciting for me. Anyway, um, let's see what else What else? What are you guys doing for the holidays? What are you doing? Where are you going? We are going up to the core mandal for christmas. We are having a real kiwi christmas on the beach doing it all and then um to rota rua for like terraria for a while and then um Home to work for like two weeks and then we have another week on the south island And we're kind of traveling a bunch of places that we haven't seen and some that we have but we want To backpack we're going to backpack.

We're going to the catlins So if you're from the catlins, let me know tell me where to go Um, and then really not spending much time in christ church honestly just flying in and out because we got a really cheap flight Um, so that's what we're doing for christmas and yeah So I kind of feel like I Want a cold christmas because it's just been a long time, but it's okay Oh, it's rough that I have to go to the beach Some suffering So okay, so that's new. I feel like there are so many things new um, if I if there's been a lot of I haven't spent a lot of time on YouTube and stuff. I've been writing courses for a school here And so it's taking all of my time They're paying me really well, but it's taking all my time It's getting annoying because like now it's like it's like I have like a job But I need it because like I said, this doesn't make any of me anybody But I enjoy it.

Well, see this is the thing is I get on here and I start talking and who knows What I'm going to say My we are coming out my husband has designed a new board game and it is coming out and it's almost done Like we're finalizing it and then it's getting printed with we've put an order in Um, we've never done this but he's It's it's an adventure race board game and it's exciting.

It's downstairs, but you know, I'm too lazy to go get that and um, but yeah, so you can just check out the website adventure trek life I like just built it less this weekend. So it's not good, but like you get the sense You can see the pictures of it. It's pretty exciting I'm excited about it. It's actually really nice and everybody that touches it is like Oh, I want to be a part of this. It's kind of like that. So we'll see. I don't know never done this Always doing new things. Oh, sorry question. I was playing Ooh, kai kora for vacation. Yes I've been to kai kora. Love it. I mean it's small like you don't need to spend a lot of time there But a lot of places are small here. It just all depends what you want to do really Um, so yeah, so adventure trek life is the website Um, and yeah, and I've been doing marketing. So gosh when I think about like so I'm running that I'm running I'm doing courses. I have my personal brand this youtube whatever and then my new channel and then My marketing I have marketing clients, you know, I do a lot of marketing. I do seo and Um social media and whatever people need and I'm like, oh my gosh, I have a lot going on But it's like necessary for me because I'm one of those people that cannot just do this one thing Like I need variety constantly like in a day in an hour In a half hour. I need variety. So that's what's happening. I just need variety So, um Yeah, so if you need marketing help, let me know I am Yeah, I'm doing a bunch of freelancing and I've been it's going really well. I got it so much and I'm like, uh Sorry that I'm so good at it and I can't get rid of anybody Like I can't I don't think I've gotten rid of really any marketing clients. They just stay with me for years Because like the problem is is like when you work with a brand like you get really close to it And you know it and like I like so good at marketing it that it's like, yeah It's hard for me to give up too because I'm like into it, you know, except for if it's a something I don't like But and there's those because people come to me with like, oh, I can't talk about that. Oh, that's boring You know, but uh, it's fun Small business owners are funny But it's also a difficult industry to be in in New Zealand to be honest Like I really like just get like American clients or Australian clients because It's like they don't understand digital marketing here. It's funny Um, anyway, so okay, how much time do I have? Okay, any more questions because I probably don't have much more time Do you guys want me to do that cooking class that I was used to be doing? I just Sorry, I've been bad at it, but I need to get on youtube more. I love youtube as like literally my favorite I still do short form video Because I love that like I do it as a habit. Like I don't even it's not even work But like, yeah, I just need to probably be more strategic about what I'm doing So if you are considering a move to New Zealand, definitely check out my My free 50 minute masterclass. It's the description. It's always in the description and That'll just give you some insight on where to start because I'm done answering all of the basic questions It's all in the video And you can just like I think I even put down like the timestamps if you want to know About one specific thing. You don't have to watch the whole thing. So so nice And I have a lot of projects out there that I'm also working on like what's helpful for my membership community is like Where to buy everything? in New Zealand Oh my gosh, you're moving to chris church in january Where are you from tell me everything joey? I'm so excited. I am here to help you um, I just yeah, I just had a client call who's moving from Indiana today and um in january No, december he's moving in december and I was like, oh my gosh. So he had like a thousand questions and that's what I'm here for Just get in the membership bit. You can book a direct consult with me, but that's expensive Um, so and you get the live q&a's in the membership anyway. So oh my gosh from texas Who this could be a shock You're from texas You know texas has his own culture. So, you know, I guess New Zealand is yeah, a different the different culture, but I mean you it's not going to be as hot Just so you know, this is not a tropical place. It's not as hot Um, but that's exciting. Yeah, there's just so many people. It's so great um, I've yeah, I've had so many coffees with people I've had lunches with people are like, oh, you know, and it's great because this is why I'm here to help you um Like I said, it isn't like this huge money maker, but it's just something that I wish I would have had when I Moved here because I knew nobody I knew nothing and it took me a really long time to figure out. Oh, that's what I was saying So that's why I'd like to create this where to buy everything I don't know I'll probably charge for it because I just been giving everything for free. I gotta be a little bit smarter above Not expensive But like everything like where to buy it because like when you come here you like you see gilmores You see harvey norman you see, you know, noah leming. What the hell do they sell? You don't know is that the good place to buy something like you have no idea and you're just like, okay I mean, obviously things like beds are us. We know that that's beds Okay, but like most of the time it's not clear and like which one is the best one to go to and there's nothing the same As from like the u.s. So maybe similar to like some in the uk though because it's very british If you don't know this place is very british. Oh my gosh So, um, so yeah What day is it wednesday? Oh my gosh, I have so much to do But I love it. So yeah, so check out adventuretreklife.com, but don't judge me. I'm not done with that website.

It's been pretty fun and I've been freelancing I get a lot all my clients want all these blogs. All I do is write all I do is write and literally for 20 years No joke 20 years I would say every day or when people say like, you know, because I have my master's degree and I teach at the university But I don't have my phd and I say I'm not getting my phd because you're just going to make me write all the time And I don't like writing But what I realized through writing blogs for my I'm not bad at it. I just don't like it And I for writing blogs for my website. I mean, I'm average like I'm not a great writer Okay, um, but um, I found that writing things that I know or that I'm interested in instead of like academic stuff is different I'm published like I've been doing research in Um, communicating online. I'm a communications person. So like communicating online and is there non-verbal communication that happens There is Spoiler there is and it's pretty interesting. If you want to check out that research, let me know. I can send you the article Um, because it's you know, it's just in the journal, but like yeah, so there's that so you can check out those websites my I might be having a physical copy of my recipe cookbook, right? I called it the american cookbook because it's every recipe that everybody's always asking me about here How do you make business in gravy? How do you make those chocolate chimps that you talk about? Okay pumpkin pie Philly cheese stick Chicago style pizza. It's all in there So if you want that, let me know just because like I said, I'm trying to decide like how many do I buy because I don't want I don't want this. I can always order more, right? So, I mean, it's definitely I can charge a lot less if I buy more Which is what I want to do because I don't want to get it and then like nobody buys it because too expensive because they only printed 50 you know, so Decisions, this is why I wish I had drop shipping, but I don't So anyway, you know, you can reach out to me on any of the social medias under qa americans Comment to this and I will see you guys Video coming up.
