— Napoleon Hill

I came across this quote few days ago, and I found it realy helpful and uplifting, as I’m attempting a major change in my life. Advices from my social circle are becoming more like noise, it’s very distracting.

At the moment I’m reading a book about startup’s fund raising, looking into ways to obtain a working visa in Europe, trying to find a rental and part time job in the Netherlands, my car is not sold yet while I’m counting down the days and wondering; Why?

Why do I have this urge for change? Why am I jumping into the unknown? will there be any smooth sailing? is it all worth it?

Every and Each book I read about being an Entrepreneur speaks of the uncertainty. About how hard and lonely the path is. Not knowing if the end result will be what you gambled on increases the challenge significantly. You don’t know if you will get what you are fighting for.

Maybe I’m just too old. Trying to start over at 44. But there are more working years ahead than behind. Or maybe I’m just a Nomad.

Doubt must be the main reason why people settle down into jobs and relationships they don’t fancy. If I leave this, what will I find out there? that’s one scary question.

My feelings now are like those you get before a major trip, multiplied few times, the butterflies in the stomach, the longing for that first night out in the wild where it’s you and the adventure.

That was from my last adventure, for more landscapes from Australia you can visit this link

On a different subject, I’ve 3d printed a grinder and shipped it to Barkley Plastics, they were having troubles printing it and asked me for help.

I have to say the grinder is not easy to print, I’ve totally missed up the first few prints until I figured out the best orientation and how to setup the parts in the printing space then things became more straight forward.

Nothing has been done in regard to the Indiegogo campaign, I think this will be the first thing on my agenda once I’ve arrived to Holland. Record a video showing how the grinder works and kick start the Campaign.

At the moment I’m completely focused on selling, packing, and trying to find a place to live in the Netherlands, look like I have a nag for choosing very expensive cities. Dubai, Melbourne and now Amsterdam, Although to be fair Sydney is more expensive than Melbourne, and I’m seriously considering Rotterdam.

In a previous post I’ve mentioned that I was working on a charging stand for the mighty, it’s almost done, I’m going to buy a Mighty+ when I arrive to Holland, that way I can make sure the stand will fit both vaporisers.

It’s a simple charging stand, I’m hoping producing it will be less of a challenge than the grinder and I will be able to bring it to market quickly, maybe before the grinder.

This was the first design, as you can see you have to unplug the charger to be able to remove the Mighty, and this one was tight. too tight.

This is the latest one I’ve made, the base dosen’t look perfect, that’s a printing failure, but it’s not affecting the functionality, this one you can remove the mighty while charging and put it back. Very handy little gadget.

That was all for this week, I’m posting biweekly now as the news are rare and more about my journey than the products. Stay safe and have a good weekend, Peace ☮️

This was last week’s post, but my wife got stranded and I had to go pick here up which made me miss my usual posting time, also I thought the post wasn’t enough. This week though, I believe I have something to tell you, so buckle up because We are flying to Amsterdam on the 7th of September. Yes ticket is booked and paid for and I’m going.

I’ve even applied for a tour guide job in Amsterdam. Thinking, It’s a great way to learn the city, meet new people and do my daily steps. Fingers crossed 🤞 I get it. Will make the move less stressful.

I have to say that I love Uncle eBay, always giving me money for my used stuff. Not like Facebook where I almost feel bad for listing. On eBay, I have a store. Feels good especially when it’s making money. 🙂

Regarding Barkley Plastics, the designer is back and he asked me for some changes to one of the parts, So things are moving forward again. At the Moment they are on skeleton staff because the automotive industry is on summer break.

I’ve received the 3D prints, the SLA looks good, but not good enough to be sold, I won’t buy it. Therefore; this is a no go Option. 3D printing is not a solution.

Last time I had to take pictures of the filling aid with the mighty I had to hold the mighty with my hand as I didn’t have a stand, which got me thinking (as usual). Why don’t I make my own stand? Plenty of options out there I know.

So back then, I’ve made one, but I didn’t work on the subject until this week, this might become the first Cloud Riders’s product to be sold in the eBay store.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading. Have a great weekend. Peace ☮️
