The Ultimate School Trip: Still not started

Almost two weeks have passed since the last post and I still haven't started the journey. Life gets in the way of course for all of us but this was the ending of summer, a birthday to celebrate over several days, a holiday weekend, a trip to the Boston Red Sox...and getting the other parts of my life in order to begin this journey.

I wish I could afford to just pick up and go but finances don't allow that. I need to use home as a base for the beginning with day trips and maybe one night overnight per week. I probably should have started my company as a non-profit so that I could get sponsors to help defray the cost of this adventure. I've researched a few companies that I do business with - hotels, restaurants (Panera) to see if they could help me but they only donate to non profits. Maybe I'll form one but if I do, I want to do it right. Can I own a profit company which is my career/job and a non-profit that helps fund me visiting schools?

All that will be decided another day. For now, I need to get my correspondences out to the 4 states that responded to my mailer to all the commissioners of education, get my web design/internet obligations done and get my home life in order.

Cape Cod schools are on the agenda for this week. The journey must begin and as Wayne Dyer says in his new PBS special - don't worry about the big picture. Instead focus on one small task at a time...and the big project will take care of itself. One school at a time, one more place where optimism and success go hand and hand. I can't wait!
