Many people get so caught up with Hawaii that they move here without a plan. They usually leave within a year, sometimes with great financial hardship. Don't let this happen to you.

If you've determined Hawaii is right for you, this next course reviews my complete roadmap on how to live here from start to finish. It's important to know the big picture and where you are headed.

It doesn't matter how much money you make because if you can't get your spirit to embrace Hawaii, it's just a matter of time before you will leave. And if you succeed in this step, the money won't matter (assuming you make enough for food and housing)

Hawaii has some of the highest real estate prices, the most expensive grocery bills and if that isn't enough, you'll probably take a big pay cut compared to your current job. Making ends meet is of course critical if you're going to live here.

Employment will be your biggest challenge. This is the only plan in existence that's recognized by Hawaii's biggest employers.

Even the most casual conversation in Hawaii will reveal whether you have truly embraced local values by how you pronounce Hawaiian words. Get them right, and you send a clear signal that you're "one of us". Pronounce Hawaiian words the way most mainland folks do, and you make it loud and clear that you've not really embraced our way of life and it's just a matter of time before you will leave.

If you truly want to live in Hawaii for the long term and become an active member of the community, correctly pronouncing Hawaiian words is an absolute must.

Hawaii's real estate has many unique characteristics that mainland buyers are most likely not aware of. In addition to reviewing common home buying knowledge, this course features exclusive content that focuses on Hawaii's distinct differences.

Taught by professionals with decades of experience in the industry, you'll get the insider's view you'll want before making the biggest and most consequential investment of your life.

This course has captured a rare, once-only freshness that you get when you've just moved to Hawaii.  This course is a collection of shared lessons from the "Malihini" (newcomers) of wisdom that come from direct experience and fills important details in our Islander Ohana course lineup.
