😬 RESILIENCE & PIVOTING 🌀
With Hurricane Milton now a category 5 (the strongest category), firstly I am sending love to all my friends and family in Mexico and Florida 💕
🌀Secondly, a memory of how Hugo Loto and I lived through Hurricane Dean, also a category 5, when the eye of the storm hit the small Mexican Caribbean town we were living in, Mahahual 🇲🇽
🏃♀️💨We evacuated 3 hours north to Playa del Carmen, and returned a few days later to was complete devastation 😱
❌No water, no electricity, roads blocked with trees down and dead animals and electrical poles and cables, buildings turned to rubble, trees ripped out…
🏡 Our house was one of the few still standing and with a rooftop rainwater system draining to the huge underground cistern, our house, with a friend’s generator, became shower central 🚿 and a place people could gather and support each other
📹🤿 From one day to the next our lives changed. The cruise ship port was destroyed, so no tourists would be arriving for a long time = no money
❌ My business of underwater videography and photography with a team of 6 couldn’t operate, Hugo didn’t have a dive centre or any divers to manage 😬
👩🎓 Soooo many learnings came from this and all of them GOOD! 😊
💃 Being surrounded by a strong positive community is essential to success
🤯 You can only control what you can control, so it’s no point worrying about things that haven’t happened or you can’t control
🏡 Pay for quality as it is worth it
🔄 When a big problem comes, it forces you to change your thinking, grow your resilience and try something new
🏝️🏡 🧦 We survived! I started a property management business, which grew to include holiday lets and a full blown estate agency and then a launderette
