I love the gorgeous optimism people have for each New Year and for the changes they want to see! The turn of a new year is inspiring, exhilarating & filled with potential…at least for a few of weeks anywat! Hoards of you have already ran out and purchased a gym membership, smoked the last cig from the previous pack, and drank the remaining alcohol in preparation for serious change.
It started when I stumbled upon a picture of Project Getaway 2010, where people were ‘working’ in a tropical environment. ‘Yeah right’ said my cynical self. I almost found the picture disturbing, only because those people were at least one million miles away from where I was at that point. I had just graduated and the only thing I knew was that I didn’t want to continue in that particular field. So there I was at the start again, when I naively thought that I would have had figured it all out by then.
What's your purpose? Clients, friends, family members -- even strangers often ask me about the idea of “finding their purpose.” Purpose... It’s a loaded and complex concept requiring a great deal of pre-defined terminology before a meaningful discussion can even begin.

Project Getaway: Bali 2011 just kicked off and this year’s event is bigger and better than ever! If you followed last year’s event, we know you’ll love Round 2 ...
Dream. Act. Live! Everyone should create a business of their own, or a side business at least. There’s so much to learn, express, experience and gain from this thrilling adventure…
What’s your Dream life? Every day I wake up and I “do” life exactly as I want (of course I’m bragging, it totally rocks!). I play and laugh, love and make love, I grow my business and learn everything I can and then teach it, I swing on every swing I see, stop and smell flowers and live life as an exciting adventure. AND... Of course...
Did you wake this morning with feelings closer to excitement or that of dread? How about yesterday and the day before? Do you feel free to live any life you dream of, or tethered to an existence that exhausts rather than energizes? Can you even imagine a life where you simply cannot wait to get up each morning and run after whatever adventure presents its self?
