Start a Dive Center

Asia Dive

Lucky me it will be my 2nd Asia dive center the first that I started is still in operation in Cambodia and seems to be fine. 

Having done a third world dive company in Asia before I have some ideas that will make the next one better, I hope, in allot of ways. They say that wisdom is the accumulation of mistakes that you learn from so I must have generated a fair bit of wisdom by now.

So what will be for me is figuring out the first concrete step. is answering these first simple questions?
Where
When
What
Who
and the most important why

Lets start with that Why. The true path to wealth for most people is owning your own business and then spending less that your income.  In the book the millionaire next door they said that the previous statement applied over a period of time is going to work for the majority of people that aren't going to start Facebook. The biggest thing is to get to a point where your money is working for you.

Now I certainly don't think that I will become the nest Bill Gates but having enough at the end of the day when you hang up your fins is a noble goal I feel because if you do it right others that walk the path with you will also prosper.

The real reason though is for the satisfaction of helping other people reach their goals.  one of the biggest highlights from the first dive center was coming back to visit is Sihanouk ville and having my long time maid come up to me and have a conversation in English.  This is life changing for her as she is now able to get much more money if she ever decides to work some where else; when I told her that her English was excellent, the smile that she gave me back was worth a million bucks easy.

The other why is ever since I was a little kid I wanted to do things to help the environment I would on cold winters nights in Wisconsin take the family dog Snowball for walks and just listen to the quiet in the woods and like Thoreau find a inner peace. Pprotecting and becoming a force multiplier by teaching others to respect and protect the enviroment is another noble reason why to start another scuba diving outfit in Asia.
