Recently, I saw an emotional BBC television show about Nick and Lesley Vallance. Even if your world literally and metaphorically destroys you and tells you how to achieve your goals and dreams, even if you have huge debts covering your life.
Sally's Nick's construction business collapsed. Instead of entering Vallance 's shell, I chose risks and adventures. They did not know anything about hotel management and decided to immigrate to Andalucía's palace 400 years ago to be a boutique hotel or home to migrate to Spain despite being unable to speak Spanish a little It was.
They also had no income after their business collapsed! But Lesley commented that you have only a shot for the whole life and you need to accept it. Vallance's budget was £ 250,000. With this money, they wanted to face a new challenge in an attractive place and start a new start.
Nick had 20 years of experience as an architect who would be of help, but the challenge is still huge and will soon get even bigger.
After buying the palace they had to wait for four months in order to obtain permission to renovate the hotel. Their debts rode as they were waiting. Lesley commented that they should enjoy every day like Spanish and are not concerned about the delay.
Prior to the arrival of the license, the majority of the building collapsed and six rooms were excluded from the hotel. This is probably thanks to the demolition work being done by the neighbor!
Vallance needs to redo all paperwork and re-apply for a license to refurbish the palace. They also need to spend more money to strengthen the walls of the palace deprived of the collapsed walls. At some point they had paid the builder £ 40,000 a month. Their debt mountains grew everyday.
Neighbors refused to talk about remuneration and were worried that they were put on trial for years and to regain money at some point in the future. They noticed that they could not get the hotel running by disturbing the main track on this negative track in their lives.
They accepted the fact that they may not return money in advance. They also saw a silver lining on the fact that people could be killed if the hotel was opened before the collapse.
They had other problems as well. Especially money was very tight after the great frustration they were suffering. The building bill doubled to £ 500,000. They need to borrow more money and more debts will occur.
They planned to open the hotel in June, so some income will start repaying debts. Mr. Nick said he could not afford to think negatively what would happen if the project failed.
I had to believe that he would reach the deadline in June, but since they came to Spain, I missed the last deadline. After all, they also missed this deadline.
Nick clearly recognized that he made a big bet. "I have never sucked a bet, he was also not a person who ignored the problem, he did not bury his head in the sand, but he was busy, even he gave up I did not think about it.
There was a philosophy that Leslie had solutions to every problem. The boys were not happy at the local Spanish language school. The teacher got angry about what they did not hear. "If you do not understand the language, how can you hear it?" Said one of the boys. A year later, the boys moved to an international school and they were happier
The Vallance family maintained a positive attitude and after 18 months of tough sloges, they felt they were close to their dreams. Lesley commented: "We have something to get out and nothing to lose, the hotel's original dream is there.
However, they only require 50% occupancy throughout the year. They will have to learn how to put the hotel on the market well. They were excited when they received their first reservation from their website. Booking fee 90 euro was the first money in 2 years!
After two years of long and tired years, they were proud and excited at the hotel in the palace. Although they have never done this type of work before, they actually operated the hotel. My son, Harry, George seemed happy now. They enjoyed the school and made friends. They did not talk about England.
As local people could not speak English, Leslie's language skills improved. Even if Spanish speak Spanish, I was happy to speak Spanish!
They still repaid a large debt, but thanks to their determination, hope and belief, the situation has improved greatly. Leslie summarized her feelings. "I do not feel like fear of life.
She noticed that having her family on her was more important than anything. "Nick and happy boy feel pretty good, but I lack Marks, Spencer and British sausages.
The interviewer says, "Have you accomplished your dream?
"It's pretty close!" Nick said
Money worries and debts can cause inaction, depression, suicide. Instead, Leslie and Nick ignored the problem of money and undertook a life of discovery and adventure. They had to leave a comfortable place and had to learn new language, business and marketing skills.
Sometimes their world seemed to be about to collapse about them, but they continued until they reached solid ground. This took much longer than expected, but in the end courage, resolve and persistence that faced a big challenge helped them to achieve their dreams.
Achieving your goal may take more time and cost than you anticipated. Also, we may encounter big unexpected problems. The situation may seem much worse than when you started. You may feel like giving up, but if you are ready to continue learning new skills continuously, your dream will come true.
Hopefully the adventure of the Spanish Valence family will encourage you and me to achieve our own dreams. If your dream involves making money on the Internet, you face illegitimate kinds of debt that burdens Vallances. But if you are a liability, their story will prove that a solution will be found even if your debt is mind blowing.
You can move the mountain of debts if you have a faith that moves mountains in the Bible and a positive attitude that the family of Valence shows. They did not allow their problems to paralyze them. They continued their work and applied new skills until the mountains moved.
The Bible suggests that some of us can move mountains and carry out monetary or other kinds of miracles with a little belief.
Like Vallances, you think you are facing mountain debt, but mountains can move, financial miracles can occur all over the world. Meanwhile please strive toward your goals steadily.
