6 Months in Poland: From "Hard Slog" to Thriving

Описание: We have officially hit the 6-month mark of living in Poland! And after months of bureaucracy battles, renovation stress, and sleeping on mattresses... we just had the best two weeks ever.

In this video, Aga and I discuss how we finally turned the corner. We ignored the naysayers who said, "You'll be back in the UK in 6 months," and we proved that the "Sink or Swim" method actually works.

The "Dip" is Real: Every expat journey has a "Dip"—a period where the excitement fades and the hard work hits. We just climbed out of it.

As the graph above illustrates, most people quit during the "hard slog." We pushed through, and now we are seeing the results.

Key Successes in this Update:

The Investment: We finished renovating our first property and found the perfect tenants (despite the language barrier!).

The Kids: Our daughter Lucy, who spoke zero Polish 6 months ago, just won 2nd prize in a Polish speaking competition against native speakers!

The Mindset: Why we "burned our bridges" (sold our UK house) to ensure we had no safety net to run back to.

Role Reversal: Why Aga handles the bureaucracy while I (Lee) focus on coaching and social media to "feel like a man" again.

To the "Naysayers": We know people told us this was a bad idea. We know people judged us for bringing non-Polish speaking kids here. Today, we answer those critics with results.
