Goal board!?
A lot of people create boards of what they’re trying to achieve. I found it fitting to have one too. Since I’m going to school and not going back to my desk job, I decided to create what I’m working to achieve. It was suppose to be a retirement or preretirement plan. But why wait. Life brought me here for a reason. Maybe my plan needs to unfold sooner then later.
To start, I’ll need land. Hopefully the house will be big enough for a B&B. Second, I’ll have a farm, non dairy cows, sheep, goats and horses. The people at the B&B will be able to help out, use the horses… But if they prefer, they could just be at peace with nature. I’m hoping for a lake or a pond. That way people will be able to swim, kayak and maybe fish.
Once this is established, I’d like to rescue animals that are abandoned by their owners. Every year we see animals freeze to death because the farmer did not have the money to feed and keep them warm. I’d either take them to save them, or take them to give the farmer a break. If it’s not abuse and he wants them back, he could have them.
Hopefully the land would be good for planting. I could raise a crop or two. When money permits, I’d like a greenhouse. That way I’d be able to start my own nursery. I’d like to sell plants, trees and shrubs.
When all is established, or the big picture if you will, would be an interactive B&B, people could work with the animals or with the plants. Or like I said they could just take it easy. I’d have a few people working the nursery. I’d try to get an active program with the veterinary college of the province. That way students could get the experience and it would only cost me room and board.
It is an ambitious plan, but I’m not looking to do all this on my own. I do want to be able to give it my all, where my help will be needed.
Have fun!?
