062 : David Hawkins – Mastering road travel as a couple – Finding the balance between work and a great life. (Hint- she keeps him on track for sure!)
Could you spend 3 or 4 weeks on the road with your spouse? David is a very successful seller who along with his wife, Ivy and their faithful dog: Mary Carol, travel throughout the US searching for incredible Retail Arbitrage deals. Guess what they find them! Noteworthy though this is a couple who know how to plan, and more importantly they know how to take ACTION (most will not!). We spend some time talking about finding ways of staying healthy on the road and he is quick to credit Ivy for finding healthy food and places to exercise. I think this has been a critical component of their success, it helps with stamina and helps keep the grind to a minimum. We also spend some time talking about sourcing in Hawaii and the challenges that brings, and how to overcome it!
