Throughout my life's journey, I've embraced the trio of travel, work, and play, adhering to the familiar adage of "work hard, play harder." Yet, truth be told, I've always gravitated toward what truly resonates with me—I've continuously pushed myself to work harder each day. Consequently, I've resolved to set a personal challenge for 2024. I aim to amalgamate all the knowledge accrued in my career, the plethora of experiences gained through travel, and further evolve my personal encounters in unexplored territories as an entrepreneur, an explorer, and an aficionado of life's wonders.
My passion for technology has been a constant driving force in my life. The innovative tech solutions available to us today are truly remarkable, pushing boundaries and opening new avenues. I'm deeply intrigued by uncovering the positive aspects of social media, fostering connections with kindred spirits, and ultimately, crafting and documenting experiences that inspire and represent people's diverse interests and curiosities—from the very heart of their homes.
Additionally, I'm driven by a genuine desire to contribute positively, simply for the sake of doing good.
Every journey begins with that initial step, demanding both financial backing and an unwavering commitment. It hinges on harnessing the skills and passion within oneself. My firm belief is that the transition from good to great relies on three fundamental pillars:
- Purpose: A defined sense of purpose is the bedrock of any successful endeavour.
- Human Connection: Cultivating genuine connections with others is invaluable.
- Financial Prudence: Smart financial planning is essential for sustainable growth.
Over the last 30 days, I've dedicated myself to honing this concept, allowing my mind to wander freely. As a result, I've distilled my passion into the trifecta of Travel, Work and Play.
Project Name: Travel.Work.Play.
Concept: Fostering a passionate, humane purpose intertwined with economic prosperity for good!
Embarking on a 365-day journey commencing January 1st, 2024, Travel.Work.Play. centers on the innovative structure of setting and receiving missions, anchored by three core elements:
- Destination Setting: Choosing countries and cities to explore, immersing oneself in their essence.
- Business Creation: Establishing revenue-generating ventures relevant to skills and locations visited.
- Engaging Life Experiences: Delving into experiences that resonate with the locale or the business venture.
A crucial facet of Travel.Work.Play. is documenting the entire process, sharing insights with the community, and continually evolving this pioneering concept... and yes, I've asked myself WHY would I take the time to document the process and I concluded... because we are human and reflection create evolution and this drives excellence, so we take that time to reflect, write and improve.
Launching
Travel.Work.Play. is the first business, 1 of 6 - and outline of the channel will be to...
- Launch a compelling travellers consumer brand to attract like-minded individuals who love to traveller, work on the go and remote work and absolute life lovers. For people who 'do'v's those who watch.
- Initiation of the mission-setting process, allowing the setting and receiving of missions. Here I wanted to dream a little and allow ideas to be outlined, surfaced and allowed to breath... usually good plans don't stay silent long.
- A self-budgeted mission of $10k per mission, which I'm backing in the first instance, working towards $1m company valuations and attracting $100k in investments as we progress.
Lastly - KPI's, if you can't measure it, you can't grow it so for now here is an excel sheet and I'll get to 'Pretty' later... KPI's Key Performance Indicators
The immediate focus lies on the first 30 days, dedicated to meticulous preparation and acquiring the necessary tools, discussions within my network and setting up calls for success.
