How to upgrade to a lower cost, higher quality and healthier international lifestyle in the paradise of your choice!

By Peter Macfarlane

Yeah, right, I know you've heard it all before… Blah, blah, blah. Another business opportunity ad disguised as an article. Right?

NO! Below I'm going to reveal some serious information about how you can change your life, and enhance your freedom and wealth. There is no cost involved, and I'm not going to ask you to buy anything from me in this entire article. I promise.

I would genuinely be delighted if after reading this article you would send me an email to let me know what you think of it, and to expand on these ideas. My email address is at the bottom of the page. If you don't like my ideas, you will have lost ten minutes. If you do, who knows what you stand to gain?

So please go get a cup of coffee, come back, sit down, relax and open your mind…

Still with me? Great! First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I'm not somebody who likes to blow my own trumpet. In fact people who know me, know I am a modest person who shies away from the spotlight.

That's why I don't put my photo here, for example. It's not that I'm ugly! But I also know that you cannot believe everything you read (or even photos you see) on the internet. It's important, when you read new things and ideas, to know who wrote them and why they are qualified to write about the subject.

So, here goes. My name is Peter Macfarlane. I'm 38 years old. I grew up in the South of England, studied in London for a while, then straight afterwards I left the UK. Since then I've lived in at least ten different countries, running businesses in each of them.

I remember on my last day in "sixth form" (that's what the last year of secondary education was called in the UK in those days) our whole class agreed to write a short summary of where we were planning to be in ten years' time, seal it an envelope, and hand it to our teacher for safe keeping. I wrote that I wanted to be an international businessman, with business interests in various areas. And for sure, that's what I achieved in the following ten years.

That was my first lesson in goal setting. Well, that, and a book called (don't laugh) The Lazy Man's Way to Riches by Joe Karbo which I read as a teenager. It's out of print today, but you can buy used copies on Amazon. It contains, simple, good advice, just as valid today as it was back in the seventies when it was published. I recommend it.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I had always been interested in law and finance. I'm good at details, like dotting I's and crossing t's which is important in a lawyer. The problem is most lawyers don't see the wood for the trees. They miss out on the entrepreneurial 'big picture'. And they tend to know the laws and legal procedures of only one country, which just doesn't equip them for today's globalized world of commerce. So I specifically set out to be different - to understand different legal systems and the associated business cultures, and different ways of doing things.

My fascination with things international, together with my overseas contacts and my language skills soon led me into what could be described as the "offshore" business. Offshore in those days was about reducing taxes and avoiding bureaucracy. It was a very different world then, but I have kept on top of the changes since and this is still my most important field of endeavor.

For more than a decade, I've been writing articles on asset protection, offshore banking, investing and the like for The Q Wealth Report. That's been my constant business. In the meantime I've dabbled, quite successfully I might add, in commercial real estate, stocks and shares, and e-commerce. Right now I'm planning to get into the beef-raising business in South America. But all of these have been sidelines to my main offshore consulting and investing business. I'll be pleased to prove all this to you, by the way, if we get to know each other better.

A few years ago, I was invited by Richard Cawte to speak at seminars. This was quite an inspiration for me! Richard is a motivational speaker and mentor who is an acknowledged expert on wealth psychology.

At the seminars, I was always the nuts and bolts guy - the serious, studious speaker giving technical information on what I knew best: the offshore world. Panama companies, offshore bank accounts, that kind of thing.

But it was also a chance for me to listen to fellow speakers and, perhaps even more importantly, to hear feedback from the guests at the seminars. And something new dawned on me, something which I had always known at the back of my mind but that I had kind of missed out on:

Going offshore today is just as much about making money, as about preserving money! Today you can go offshore with zero, and still generate wealth.

For years I had been focused on helping rich people preserve their assets against the likes of unfriendly governments, million dollar lawsuits over spilt cups of coffee and so on. Still very important stuff by the way, because the economic and legal systems of the US and Western Europe are near to collapse. Sure, these rich people were getting richer, because I could show them how to legally cut through the bureaucracy, thereby reducing costs, and help them reduce taxes. These days, I show them how to get their money out of the country and collapsing currencies, into hard, tangible assets like gold.

Do you need capital? I won't say it doesn't help. Most westerners have capital these days, tied up in their homes. The value of your home is falling. I know people who are breaking their backs working eighteen hour days just to pay their mortgages and feed their families. The problem is simply that they are not aware they have a choice. But they do. And that is my area of expertise, which I'm writing about today.

In most cases these same people I'm talking about, the ones who are stuck in the wage-slave routine, could sell their house, buy a new place in a tropical paradise like Belize, a vibrant city like Buenos Aires, or really whatever place turns them on… They would have cash in the bank, a much lower cost of living, no tax to pay, and a lot of free time to work on whatever business they like.

However, these days you really can go offshore with absolutely no capital. I'll give you a concrete example. Just recently I talked to a young guy who came to one of our seminars (Recipes for Success, in Cancun, Mexico). Let's call him Jake, to respect his privacy. Jake was earning relatively well working in California for one of the Hollywood studios, but he wasn't happy with his life. All his earnings went on rent, car payments and living expenses. His real dream was to travel and live from photography. I was able to show him how to drastically reduce his outgoings, and how to achieve a much better quality of life living offshore.

He may not have so many material things in the beginning, but he is already much happier as his plans are coming together. And happiness, finally, is what we are all seeking. I think it's an old Chinese saying… the wealthiest person is not the one with the most, but the one who can live happily with the least.

During the seminar I was able to introduce Jake to a self-made real estate millionaire, Thomas Bolther, who started with nothing on leaving college and built up a multi-million-Euro real estate empire in four countries. Thomas is still relatively young. So this was a great inspiration for Jake.

Soon, Jake will be free. Free from stress and worry. Free to be creative. And that, in my view, is the secret to wealth creation! Because, as my good friend and fellow Q Wealth expert Dr. Richard Cawte says,

Your ships come in over a calm sea!

And what, after all, is wealth? Here at The Q Wealth Report we study wealth according to the dictionary definition. This might surprise you. It's not about flashy cars or high profile lifestyles. The word wealth stems from the Anglo-Saxon "Weal". Here's what is says in the dictionary about it:

So, wealth is all the things that we normally think of: riches and possessions. But it is also a lot more than that. It includes a sense of well-being, which is obvious if you stop to think about it. There is no point having money if you do not have health to go with it.

What about you? Are you beginning to see the relevance to your life?

My plan for Offshore Wealth will work for anybody. Doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, fresh out of college or approaching retirement. Many of my offshore clients are successful middle-class business owners, who have made a decent living up until now, but are seeking to enjoy life more, sell or delegate management of their business, and work in a consultancy role from an offshore base.

What normally happens at this stage, however, is people put up a barrier. Everybody does it. It's the way we've been conditioned. Doesn't matter where we are in life. Often, the barrier is something like "It's a great idea for the future, but I can't do it right now due to other commitments." Rubbish! If there's a will, there's away. If you put off action, you are at best delaying your freedom and wealth creation, and at worst stopping it dead in its tracks. Don't get caught in that classic trap…

Are you too busy earning a living to make any money?

What about families? Unfortunately, they are often a source of negativity. You would be amazed how some people hate change. Our parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and so on are used to seeing us as they have always known us. If you start to move outside their comfort zone, they get worried. My advice is simply not to talk to them about your plans more than necessary, if they cannot be supportive. You have to have the confidence that what you are doing is right for you.

Kids in school? There is simply no better education for your kids, to prepare them for today's world, than teach them a new language and culture. If you choose carefully, you can move to a place with good public schools and your kids will flourish there, for free. No need for expensive "international" or "bilingual" schools. I know. I've seen it. I've got kids too, so again I do know what I'm talking about, and I'm happy to share my experiences with you. Most of the world is a much healthier and wholer place for kids to grow up than the UK, or the USA. I would never want my kids to grow up in the UK's lager lout culture where kids are killing each other in school playgrounds!

Let's go back to health, which as I said is part of wealth. If I tell you that health is the most important thing in life, you would agree, right? But how many people are pawning their health? Every time you feel stressed out by work or business, every time you eat a zapped TV dinner instead of a nutritious home-cooked meal made with fresh ingredients, you are borrowing against your life! That's another thing we at The Q Wealth Report cover in our seminars and articles, with the assistance of an expert celebrity chef and nutritionist.

Now let's talk solutions…

How depressing it is when people scare you with demons, then fail to talk solutions. That's a big problem in the offshore finance world where I come from. Big Brother is watching your every move and is out to get you. That may be true, but if you act out of fear, you are not in control of the situation. That means somebody else is controlling you. What can you do about it?

You already know the real solution has to come from within you. Every one of us can do it. But we often need some help and support along the way. In the form of practical information, and positive inspiration. Most people need a fair dollop of both.

I've mentioned a few names here, besides my own… like Thomas Bolther the self made real estate man, Richard Cawte the wealth psychologist, and Jacques Haeringer the nutrition and well-being expert. If you like what I've written here, you will just love reading these guys. I do hope you can make it to one of our seminars sometime soon and meet them in person.
