This is the year of intentional big change. Change is always happening. Sometimes it happens automatically and sometimes you make decisions to make things happen on purpose. This year, we've made a decision on purpose.
We are moving to The Netherlands via the Dutch American Friendship Treaty. This looks like me creating a business and becoming and independent Wi-Fi consultant in the Netherlands. This also looks like me leaving the role I've had for the past fourteen years at World Wide Technology. This is a big change. I am stepping into becoming my own boss and reconnecting to my roots as a Wi-Fi delivery engineer.
I chose to create a BV rather than a ZZP because the sole proprietor of the BV (and their spouse) can swap their US driver's license for a Dutch driver's license. There are other perks to forming a BV, but the driver's license one is a big perk.
As I work through the process of creating the initial business plan, each day I check another thing off the "to-do" list. This list is by no means complete. It is a work in process.
- defining service descriptions for various wi-fi projects
- creating a pricing model
- writing a pitch document for contract work
- establishing general contract verbiage
- outlining a money map for "accounts receivables"
- statement of work templates
- task lists for service descriptions
In-between creating the business plan and attempting to think through all of the ins and outs of what this entails, I have also closed the yoga studio I formed last year. I'm divesting of stuff I don't need, packing the things I'm keeping and making things to refill my proverbial cup.
