July 2010: Another year older, wiser and closer to living out some childhood dreams

Ever since the Jetson’s introduced me to holograms I’ve looked forward to the day that a similar type of technology would be within my reach. Over the last month several things happened that bring me closer living this dream. It’s exciting times.

Instead of going into the detail about how my life rocks what I would like to say is that the freedom I have gained ~ as an aspiring social entrepreneur ~ to choose how I apply my talent and time to this life, is my pursuit of happiness. I am blessed to have in my life many talented, beautiful people that inspire, challenge, support and love me.

Life is beautiful | live your talent | pursue you dream

I’m not saying that applying your talent to pursue you dreams is  easy, where would the fun in that be? And  although I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t envy my income at the moment, as cliche as this is, happiness is not something money can buy.

You can choose the work that you want. By creating an online talent profile with us and sharing your talents, your values and your passion with the world you too can begin to discover the beauty of living your dreams.

Today I took the time to focus on balance in my work & life. This investment of time has made me immensely grateful for my beautiful family and friends, the amazing team I am a part of, for my health and happiness and great community I am a part of. This is indeed a beautiful life. There is happiness and fulfillment in living our values

• BALANCE : work / life – future / present
• GRATITUDE : We are thankful for our blessings and embrace both rewarding and challenging circumstances with open hearts.

I have aspired to building a startup company since the day I realised that I could positively help people by creating new jobs. Thank you, Arthur Jordan (FiL) for broadening my view of the world to include enterprise development and inspiring me to purse what is now a passion for new ventures

Connecting with others

Since then I have orientated towards other successful entrepreneurs and outstanding leaders who have also taught and inspired me:-

1. Uncle Eddy & Aunty Tangee
2. Diane Blackmore
3. Richard Prout

Work Together

This includes the two talented young men with whom I have the privilege of working:

* Jamie Mac Donald
* Joshua Vial

Not Y but We – Generation Change Agents

I am inspired and excited to have met many rising stars of late and I looking forward to meeting and working along side many more of you in the future.

We do not need research or statistics to know that we, the youngest generation in the workforce, are the future of new business creation in Aotearoa.

The more we work together the stronger we are. I hope to find others that share this belief and connect us so that we can help each other.
