Starting a New Journey in Piapot

Recently, a colleague of mine decided to close one part of his life and move on to another. He left the city and a number of different IT consulting jobs to open a hotel/bar in a small Saskatchewan, Canada town.

His mid-life career change made me think about my own situation. I have recently begun to expereince more success on my internet ’side-project’ and know that the future holds great things there. At the same time, I am also seeing a larger degree of success in my current career, so that direction also looks positive. That being said, I find myself living vicariously through this friend of mine. I’ve often wonder what I would do if I said goodbye to it all, picked up my family and moved on.

If you’re looking for answers here then you’ve read the wrong blog today! As you already know I have many different interests and look to continually improve myself. I suppose it really comes down to figuring out what you want to do with your life and then taking the risk when an opportunity presents itself.

For a final plug, if you’re ever in Canada, taking a trip down the Trans-Canada highway through Piapot, Saskatchewan, make sure to stop in and grab a drink at the Piapot Saloon and Guest House.

Have a look at my friend’s blog at blog.piapothotel.com.

That’s very brave decision…I don’t think I have the courage to leave what I have now to start something new on new place. Is your friend married? If so, I must say that your friend has a great wife and family which always support his decision.

He isn’t married but he does have a very supportive girlfriend who is also excited about a change in direction.

Your friend is sooooooo cool…
It kind of reminds me of the old show Northern Exposure. With the Dr. that moves to Alaska or Canada or something to pay back the folks who paid for his education. That was a cool show- I think.

I think your friend has decided with guts! And I guess at the end it makes him happier?
