Day 1,064 – Finding Joy in the Journey – Friday – 10/2/2020
Better than Beach Money
So much fun to receive this package in the mail today! A Better than Beach Money necklace and book from my friend and mentor Jordan Adler.
A couple of weeks ago a group of us SOC Affiliates played SOC Bingo and I was one of the lucky winners! Have you read Jordan’s book – Beach Money and Better Than Beach Money?
They are two of my favorites. I read Beach Money for the first time in 2009. I love Chapter 6 in Beach Money – “The Numbers Don’t Lie” and I finally realized what I needed to do to build a successful business. My favorite chapter in Better Than Beach Money is Chapter 20 – “Sailboats Set to Sail” and realized how to create duplication and freedom in my business.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom Jordan! You are the best!
About “Finding Joy”
And I’m off…. the 16-day adventure begins. The timing of this trip is interesting so I’m naming it “Finding Joy in the Journey.” I’ll be doing one dedicated post each day (at the end of the day or next morning). Since I typically post more than once a day, you’ll find it as a black and white photo. I’ll share the joy of the journey (on the trip or through this season), where I’m finding it and what I’m learning. I hope to inspire myself along the way. And if I can inspire others too, that would be a gift. So let the journey begin…
It was November 2017 and I was ready to head off on a sixteen-day trip. Nine days before leaving, my mom unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack. It shook me to my core. I had always been told the 40’s are the best years of your life. And in a matter of three years, since turning the age of 40, I had gone through a divorce and lost both parents.
I contemplated canceling the trip though I knew my mom would not be happy with that decision. She would want me to continue living my life. My parents did not raise me to sit back and watch life; instead to fully participate in every moment. So I promised my parents to find joy in the journey everyday on my sixteen-day trip and share my experience with others.
Little did I know what “Finding the Joy in the Journey” would turn into when I acted on the prompting to share my experience on a daily basis. It helped me see life differently and my wish is that it will inspire others find joy in their journey.
