Brian Watkins a.k.a the Extreme Entrepreneur has been helping me on the Privateer Nation. He came up with a logo that everyone loved. I wasn’t the biggest fan but it was a hit with everyone else. I decided to return the favor and tell him it was time for him to experience world travel. This is the e-mail I sent him and the response I got back. I now have 1 person signed up for the trip =)
Brian,
I sent the stars and globe logo out for more feedback. I got it back this morning. I give in. People seem to LOVE (not like, LOVE) that damn thing. I’d rather be rich than right. Now that the skull is gone I’m giving the people what they want. You win…
Guess what your prize is? What you think I’m cheap? Of course you get a prize =) I’ll save you the suspense. It’s a hard kick in the ass out of the country =) Some day you’ll thank me. And it will be sooner than later. When you are dating a gorgeous Thai girl you’ll be thinking, “Damn I’m glad I took the coaching!” It’s time your tail gets out of the country. That’s right. I’m doing you a favor by forcing you into this….
Let me educate you on some of the greatest words of wisdom I’ve ever had the priviledge of hearing, “If you don’t stop being a workaholic lug, and leave to travel the world, you are going to be one of those weird 40 year old guys trying to dance on the beach with 20 somethings.” Those words changed my life. Literally.
You are 24 years old. You are aging out quick. Believe me when I say I’m a senior citizen on the beaches of the world at 31. Traveling at 24 is completely different at 28. Traveling at 28 is completely different from 31. The challenge Brian is that we are getting old quick. While we are figuring out how to build our empires we are aging out. What I wish I’d known a 23 is that I need to make the most of the young years because after 35 it’s over. Don’t get me wrong. Life is still getting better but you just can’t play with the 20 somethings anymore. Think about this fact. There are Playboy playmates younger than you by 5 years. In fact if you were dating a 18 year old some people would look at you weird.
So mark your calendar, tell your parents, let your sister know so she can envy you…. you are leaving for the month long trip of a lifetime on November 23 to drink and party in the greatest backpackers ghetto in Southeast Asia, tromp through the jungles on a safari on the back of an elephant, explore ruins that would make Indiana Jones jealous and party till dawn at the best Full Moon Party of 2008 http://fullmoonparty-thailand.com/ You will leave thinking you are going on a vacation and come back a vagabond. Life will never be the same =) Do you need any more details or should I just show you which airline to get your ticket?
Namaste
