So we did get the podcast done last night, and I had a great time meeting Ranjha Saab.

In this segment I talk a little about leaving the UK and moving to Saudi, as it’s a frequent topic.

I have a lot of love and respect for what’s happening in Saudi, the energy, the vibe, the buzz, the ambition, the opportunity…

…it’s brilliant.

BUT, and this is a huge but, if you think it’s going to be easy, that you’re just going to roll up over there and your life is going to become easy you’re in for a rude awakening.

And this is the major problem I see with people wanting to leave the UK.

The intention isn’t really to go, be uncomfortable, get stuck in with the graft, work really hard and build a new life.

It’s more like, things are getting bad here, let me go find an easier and more comfortable life somewhere else.

Wrong intention.

Secondly, the clip doesn’t quite capture it, but I mention our parents generation made HUGE sacrifices to build a life for our generation in the UK.

The challenges we face today, imo, are NOTHING compared to what they faced.

To take what they provided through their sacrifices, and effectively throw it away because things are getting a little rocky has an element of ungratefulness for me.

If things are in a decline, which they are, is the response to move or try to do something about it?!

Whatever you decide is a personal choice and a personal matter, therefore not wrong.

So if you want to move, by all means move, but go with the intention that you are going to have to work hard and graft…

…not, it’s going to be easy and comfortable.
