				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, a quick reality check&#8230; If you do not know the answer to what it is you really want to do with your life, it&#8217;s OK. Take a number and join the club, you&#8217;re not alone. Alternatively you might be 100% sure and have your plan all mapped out.</p>
<p>I will never forget my coach (yes, I had a &#8216;coach&#8217; as part of my graduate program) sitting me down one day and saying &#8216;sometimes you can spend your whole life climbing a ladder that you find was up against the wrong wall.&#8217; I hope this post, our first post, helps you to not become that person. Unless you want to hit 40, buy a convertible Porsche, and attempt to pick up women half your age.</p>
<p>I say this from personal experience. After climbing the ladder for 5 years I resigned to go exploring. I had no idea what I wanted to do next. I only knew I had to leave. My answer came after stumbling across the world of superyachts in the south of France.</p>
<p>I ended up selling everything I had in Australia and flying one-way to pursue a dream. This experience gave me the distance and perspective to really think about what I wanted out of my life.</p>

<p>There truly are so many opportunities pout there that the biggest challenge you may face is choosing which one. A wise man once said to me you &#8216;either have a plan for your life, or someone else will.&#8217;</p>
<p>From my personal experience the best question I was ever challenged with as I sought to find my answer was &#8216;what gives you joy?&#8217; Think about it&#8230;</p>
<p>Whatever you come up with be sure to enjoy the ride. It&#8217;s call life. Dream LARGE!</p>
