MESSAGE FROM KIM

Happy Summer

 

I hope you’re enjoying your summer and had a nice July 4th celebration! The fireworks and some major partying were going on both ends of our little island! Of course, there’s ALWAYS partying going on pretty much everywhere on St Croix! It’s a happy place and we love any excuse for a parade or party!

Speaking of parades, June was PRIDE month and our island had the first ever Pride parade. There were many, many activities going on to celebrate diversity here. The parade had a few protestors, but all in all, it was peaceful and respectful and considered a success.

For this edition of the newsletter, I’m exploring the topic of WORK. While many of you are on your summer breaks and holidays, you might want to consider the possibility of working REMOTELY – as in ON ST CROIX! I mean, if you can work from ANYWHERE, WHY AREN’T YOU HERE?

Our friends and clients Mike and Rebecca offer their insights and suggestions for making “remote work” work… and I’ve included several articles written by “the experts” so that you will have some ammunition if/when you approach your boss about the possibility!

And if that’s not possible NOW, think about how you can MAKE it possible – it sure looks like the future will be kind to those of us who like to work from various places! I’m certainly enjoying working from Portugal for a few months! My hours are a bit strange because of the time difference, but it works for me, it seems to work OK for my customers and clients, and my team members are enjoying receiving more leads and sales opportunities!

In the next issue, I will explore some business opportunities you can explore here on the island and share some stories from folks who have created businesses and opportunities for meaningful work here. So stay tuned and have a wonderful summer, wherever you are!
