Until We are Under Way!
So… I was thinking today… I should probably do something (even if it is just a little thing) every day to work towards our goal of sailing around the world on a boat with our family.
In my previous post, Next Steps – I listed 7 things we needed to do in the next 9 months – and I’ve summarized them below:
- Fix It (anything to improve our house so it is ready to sell in 9 months)
- Scout It (look for new place to live, getting us closer to a boat – less expensive)
- Learn It (learn a new language, but I am also going to include any learning we do about world travel or achieving our goal)
- Get Rid Of It (learn to live with less – this also covers point #7 – get out of debt)
- Sail It (get certified – and also #6 – go sailing!)
My plan is to do at least one thing that fits into one of the above categories each and every day, putting us that much closer to our dream. And then share it on this blog!
Every day. (Good Luck, Me!)
Actually, Matt and I will probably tag-team this… especially since I will be out of town for work for 5 days next week. (Good Luck, Matt!)
Day #1: LEARN IT
Today I started reading Dream. Save. Do. by Betsy and Warren Talbot. It is helping me focus on the end goal. We’ve done a lot of what they recommend already, but I like being able to compare what we are doing to someone who’s already living their dream. We haven’t done the brain dumps yet, but Matt knows it is coming! I love to write everything down. I love lists. I love crossing things off my list. In fact, let me cross off “Do Something Today to Follow Your Dream.” Done. (I’ll just have to add it to tomorrow’s list.)
Oh yeah… we can do this.
