Welcome to my blog!

I've never done this before- I'm not one to go on and on about myself. But I'm embarking on a new adventure that I want to share with everyone. No, I'm not galavanting across the world again!! This time the adventure is right here, on the internet, in my community, at my house, and in my head. I've begun a graduate program at Gaia University. My learning pathway is entitled Green Business, but I'm actually learning action learning. There's a lot of learning in that sentence! With action learning I study my own actions and experience in order to improve performance. So I begin by studying my past experiences and figure out what I've learned from it, then I look at what I want to learn next and develop a plan of how I'm going to do it. The important bit is taking the time to stop and evaluate what I'm learning and how I'm learning it. Along the way I'll have an amazing support network of advisors, peers, and mentors.

I've chosen the green business pathway for several reasons. I see money, especially the perception of and relationship to money as being a major barrier to personal success, happiness, and community. Every one of us can unlock amazing potential by becoming more financially secure. That does not necessarily mean earning more money, but also needing less and spending it in more satisfying ways. No person should have to sell a piece of their self for money. Happy, healthy people make better neighbors, community members, and citizens. I also believe that we can and should make money in ways that are beneficial to the entrepreneur, their community, their environment, and their world. Everyone has the potential to see creative opportunities all around them if they have the mental space to dream, and with a little support, they could make these dreams happen.

My dream is to unlock that potential in myself, and help other people to do the same. I have a lot of great ideas of how to do that, and I am hatching my plan as we speak. If you are interested in what I'm saying or what I'm doing, come along with me, I promise it will be an amazing ride!
