You are going to read about my story right now, how I got to be a member of this beautiful Tribe, what made me stepping out of my comfort zone, how I led myself in great understanding of Life and having a great clarity of my own place right at this moment.
My name is Antoine REBORD,
Rebord, is my father's given name, which literally means, "edge"
My mother's name is Lieblang, which is derived from the German word "Liebe",
The purest energy, Love
I call myself Antoine Lieblang REBORD, this is pretty new, I wanted to change completely and just take my mother's name before my father died a year ago. I did not felt this good afterwards so I have both of them now.
You might sometime see Antoan, which in Vietnamese means "Safety", it is the safest way for the Vietnamese to pronounce my name correctly and it defines pretty much my value, Antoan Lieblang REBORD, Love is a Safe Edge
Awesome isn't it? BEAUTIFUL
Well, this is in perpetual change, I am not fixed on that so please feel free to share with me what this evokes for you
Yes you read Vietnam, I am a French fellow who's living in Vietnam I moved out from France to here since 2 years now and it has been the best decision I've made so far
My youth was:
Like a SHEEP by being completely blind sided by my environment the society, media, govs, awful education system (yes yes, in France it is awful also)
NOT able to sustain my own emotions, I was not even able to identify them
Letting people decide for me what I would do, and therefore doing them at 12% of my capacities maximum
Getting engaged in wrong groups of people and having poor health lifestyle, including food, drugs (on a large scale, tobacco and alchool are drugs)
I love my friends and family, I just reached a point where I was not able to love myself anymore, and when this happens, I was not able to love anyone anymore
And so I graduated from Engineering School, I am officially an Aerospace Engineer, I like this title.
At this right moment, after hours at school, internships, I decided to clearly change the path that I was in, because whatever job I would have accepted with this degree, I would not see at this moment any of them that would fulfill my deepest needs
So after graduation (like one moth after), I consciously chose to fly off to Vietnam (it was meant to be a year)
Covid happened 15 days after I landed, the government closed all the borders a moth after my arrival and are still closed since then
I was hungry of life but also very introverted in my own way
So I had a slow start, wanted to do something quite somehow related to my degree and I partnered with a local motorbike mechanic
It has been a tremendous help to figure out that I just like the title, of engineer, I put it aside now
I prefer now saying that I am an Entrepreneur
And this is what I am, after stopping down the line the partnership that I was having with the local mechanic, I started an other business, in restauration, during COVID
With a French fellow, we "associated", he would be the chef and I would be the manager
After a year of difficulties, where I learned a LOT, he found another job that would grant him a proper visa, which my company was not able to provide yet, it is noow and this thank to this, I am safely staying in Vietnam
We wanted to be partner on this but while focusing on little things, he stayed employee and as I would grant him a wage, he did not really wanted to do further
Even though he would totally put heads down for the work, it was not smart work
It was just hard
I was not seeing it before, I had the whole financial charge but was making the restaurant it's own as he was bringing recipes, tone, and mood in the restaurant
I was only brining money
He would therefore overstep me by being older and having a stronger and more confident voice while I did not have the guts to tell him anything
This created a gap between us
I have to say that I was completely unmotivated, the values in the restaurant, the food (even if the quality was excellent) it was not me, soo when he left, I felt really great
Though he was doing a lot and me not really
I get to the point where I am now, on my own, well quite not totally actually I am with two staff, two awesome beautiful people that make this restaurant running without me being really here
I really feel that problem was coming from me not being able to manage my business correctly and this will not be sustainable in the long run
I, in the meantime, discover who I am at the present moment and where I want to go in the near-middle future
This includes learning every day, new things, whatever they are if they truly resonate with my soul I take them
Mindvalley it is!
One of the best learning platforms that will help me to evolve into a greater and more magnificent Entrepreneur...
And so much MORE!
Thanks to this quest, BFB, I am really confident as it is leading me towards clarity
Clarity is what we truly need to attract success, isn't it?
I wish you the best and share with you much LOVE
