Perspective!

Hi again, and thanks to Gagbandit for seeing it how it really is.

I don’t think “good luck” “I’d be happy to show you what we’ve done when you come over in January” and “Fernie has a great market in the UK” is pointing out the negative, but there you go.

This guy was asking advice about what is involved. Just about everybody who visits Fernie wants to live here and set up a business. It doesn’t take much vision to see how great it is to live here and how much potential the place has – the bit that makes it tough is understanding what can make it difficult, those things sometimes are not so obvious. If one little email that points out a few (and there are many more, trust me) things that could go wrong would put you off coming here, then you are not cut out for it. A positive attitude goes a long way but it doesn’t pay the bills.

Of the chalets owners that have started up since mine, I have done business with them, and even had them over for coffee, dinner and my birthday party. I have no problem with competition, I am proud of my product and confident that it will survive. I was just trying to be informative.
