Funny how our priorities change as we get older. I would love to go back. I know that I would love to. But there's something so absolutely comforting about having a steady job with a good pay that keeps us from taking enjoyable risks.

Maybe one day you will indeed be able to work remotely, maybe in a new job. I do wish you luck though and if you ever decide to make the leap, shoot me a message I'll try to help make some recommendations or something

I agree, been working since I was 18 and built a personal brand that’s a bit hard to mess up now and throw to waste.

But still making time for awesome experiences is essential, as such i’d appreciate if you could share some recommended skii instructors and slopes.

Next season is gonna be a big one for me and I’d love to go hard!

Maybe you could approach your managers about increasing your vacation time or even giving you a short sabbatical from work, like for a couple months next season.

I also gotta say, as someone who walked away from a good job with a great career track when I was young just to go pursue something I really wanted to do for a few years, it's possible to leave your career for a year or two and come back to it, or you can find a new path but where you still use that brand you created.

Also, about where in the world are you looking to ski? There's so many amazing places out there. It's just a shame how expensive most have gotten.

Hey man, sadly it’s not an option with the people I work with

Plus I do a lot of charity with the money I make and can’t do as much if I don’t get paid a lot of money

And although the family makes good money, I do not want to depend on others you know?

If it was a few years back? Sure, a few years later? Likely possible. Right now? A bit hard to do unless I secure +$10M by Q2 solely in sales, it’s hard to make it happen.

My plans to skii are usually the alps or japan, the states is not on par in terms of overall quality tbh, and usually in the states for a lot of business so hardly have enough time when i’m there.
