Life Update

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since my last update so I figured it was about time to share the latest.

Your Pledges

First of all, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support, it truly means a lot for me! You might be wondering what I am doing with your pledges so let me provide you with some updates:

• I recently purchased 2 DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro camera's (I went with DJI this time because of the better low light performance, hopefully that will noticebly increase the image quality).

• I also obtained a Synology DS1821+ NAS and WD Red Plus hard drives. This will help us streamline our file management. Up until now we didn't have any file management system in place... pure chaos. Truly, I sometimes can't believe we managed to get this far haha!

• We made some upgrades to our office and will soon be looking into creating a permanent YouTube studio. That should help us in creating more videos on a consistent basis.

Thanks to you (yes, YOU!) we were able to upgrade our equipment, thank you!

Thailand

I just came back from Thailand and had a great time there. As you might know, I've already been to Koh Samui, Phuket, Krabi, Bangkok & Kanchanaburi so this time I flew to Chiang Mai (which is the 2nd busiest city of Thailand).

After a couple of days in Chiang Mai I went to Pai, a small town northwest of Chiang Mai. The road towards Pai is like a theme park ride from hell (over 700 turns, the drive takes about 3 hours) but it was worth it and you should definitely visit this part of Thailand if you get a chance!

I also visited Koh Chang, which is an island close to Cambodja. It's a big island but very quiet in comparison to Phuket or Samui. I had time to relax, manifest and think about life and my future.

I always try to read at least 1 book about business or self development during my travels and this time I read Buy back your time by Dan Martell. It made me realize which steps I need to take in order to grow. This year has been crazy and I felt stuck... but no longer.

We recently had a lot of meetings with our agency & partners, posted our first job opportunity (for a virtual assistant), are about to finish the work on a new course for Your Pilot Academy and have loads of new videos scheduled for the coming months!
