I have a confession.
I am slightly obsessed about people living bad-ass lives. Lives filled with fun, passion, play and adventure.
Why? Two reasons.
1. Ever since I can remember I've been on a mission to be happy.
Just happy. Happy no matter what happy. Rich happy. Broke happy. Relationship good Happy. Relationship bad Happy.
You get the idea.
No matter what, I decided long ago that being happy was my highest goal.
2. Being around not-happy people sucks.
Look, this is totally selfish on my part. I LIKE TO HANG AROUND PEOPLE WHO ARE HAPPY.
Not fake happy. Not pretend happy, but their lives are a mess. Not forced happy, when people try to prove everything is AOK.
Ick.
I selfishly like to work with, coach and train people who are up to something in life. They are lit up... carefree... happy... joyous... and fun.
Those are my peeps.
And so often many of us are happy - to a point.
There are these lingering issues in our lives that rob us of that deep sense of happiness and satisfaction.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Each year between Christmas and New Year, Kristen and I have a mega brainstorming session.
We collect all the ideas from the prior months, and come up with a game plan for how we are going to massively contribute to our tribe in the coming year.
What do our best clients need? What breakthroughs are they looking to have? What can we do to make the biggest impact on their lives in the next 12 months?
And this year we tackled the BIG question: What can we teach that will cause a quantum leap in our clients level of happiness, satisfaction and success?
After 7 days of intensive white boarding, thinking, talking, writing, dreaming and collaborating, we have our final plan.
We are pretty darn excited about it.
Here's the thing you must know: Happy is not a destination. It's a state of being.
Being happy is about the journey. The journey to riches and relationships and radical experiences that make your heart sing.
So, for 2017 we are focused on the JOURNEY... and how to experience profound levels of joy, happiness and flow while you are going after your biggest, craziest dreams.
In a couple of days we are unveiling our big plans for 2017 and how you can be a part of it if you choose.
Stay tuned and Happy New Year.
