It was late 2022, on the island of Zlarin. We were waiting for some final approvals in the UAE, and I was seriously thinking about everything.
It had been hard, I was dealing with health issues, and I had to make a few tough calls. That was the moment I sat down and defined a list - real, personal checks that needed to be ticked if I were to stay in the UAE… or finally return to Croatia.
Sometimes, the same techniques we use in business - frameworks, evaluations, and decision points, can help in real life too. That’s what I did, and it helped. In the end, I went back to the UAE, but deep down, I had a feeling that those might have been my final moves there. At least in this chapter of life.
