Love, Abundance and Wanderlust
In this moment, right now, I am the possibility of love and abundance.
I generated and created this on Sunday in the Landmark Advanced course.
Following that, this week I’ve created 3 new clients, 5 requests for sample sessions, 1 promise to hire me mid-April, and a request for me to speak at a networking event.
Wow! Talk about an amazing week!
I’ve also had 2 dates, spent time with amazing friends, took a salsa class and learned some tango.
If you’re looking for love and abundance, I am SO the coach for you!
What I really intended to share in this post is a new project I’m creating. I’ll be participating in the Landmark Self Expression and Leadership seminar in May and was thinking about what project I could work on for it. You create a community project where you generate the idea and lead it but actually give the project to the community to create.
One of the leaders of the seminar came in to tell us a bit about it and mentioned that she tells people to just think about what they’re passionate about – most folks create projects that have some bigger impact on the world or their community. One person arranged for two panda’s to be flown in from China (this costs millions of dollars), another created wind chimes they’re looking to sell a million of with all the proceeds going to Haiti. So you get the idea. Big impact stuff.
The idea I generated is to create a worldwide travel network/group for Landmark graduates. It will be a website something akin to couchsurfers.com yet maybe more like a social networking site. Thus far, my idea is to keep it within the Landmark community because it’s a trusted community that lives in integrity so it takes out the sketchy or potentially unsafe aspects that might stem from a network of just anyone.
The idea will be for people who participate to offer their homes (couches/extra bed) to travelers within the Landmark community from all over the world. They could also offer to be a tour guide, provide ground transportation, offer frequent flier miles, etc. Someone could post that they need to get a flight from point A to point B and people could contribute/donate to that flight. (There are a million and a half Landmark graduates worldwide – if it’s a $1000 flight for example, 1000 people could each donate just $1 and the flight would be covered). My vision for this is that it creates traveling as accessible to everyone where it’s currently inaccessible AND encourages community, generosity and contribution all over the world.
As some of you know, I’m going to be traveling come December. I’ll still be coaching while I’m gallivanting country to country but am planning to travel through Central and South America, then to Africa, then to Southeast Asia. I’ve now created the possibility of actually getting this trip sponsored and I plan to blog about it as I go. Part of what I see within this is to bring the travel program to Landmark campuses wherever I travel to and enrolling them in participating. I also want anyone who has ever wanted to travel to join me for whatever part of it they’d like – ideally using this program if they need it.
I’ve also had the idea to possibly get the website itself sponsored by an airline or travel site. Perhaps that website sponsorship money could go into a pot for people to draw from to put towards traveling AND perhaps the airline or travel site who sponsors it can offer a discount to group members who use their services. Basically this creates a win-win for the sponsor to get advertising to potentially a million and a half people for nearly free (since people would feed money back into them) AND people get money to travel!
If you’re interested in sponsoring any part of this (or have some connections to enroll anyone in doing so) or would like to get involved, let me know!
