This is my last blog of the year and I am bucking the system by starting my first “Blog Series” before the year is over instead of waiting til 2009.  I am an extrovert 325 days of the year but from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, I am able to slow my world down, digest the past and visualize a path for the next 12-18 months.

While attending a seminar a couple months ago, Cameron Herold, shared his experience with a process called a “Painted Picture.”

This was exactly what I believed I thrived at doing and here was this man telling me how it actually is a critical ingredient to his success.  All the guilt I have felt for feeling that all I can contribute is idea’s began to drain from my body.  And then a new set of guilt came over me for lacking the confidence and waiting this long to realize it was something we needed.

So I sat down during this reflection time and let it flow.  I chose April 1, 2011 as the day that I was envisioning in the future.  That way if we miss it, we can say it was a joke.  Just kidding.

Sixthman is lucky to have some talented people who can “reverse engineer” this vision and bring it to life.

I am sharing with the entire staff but here is the first sentence….

April 1st, 2011

Sixthman has changed the expectations people have for vacation by connecting tribes of like-minded individuals with their passions and affinities……

Here is a link to 1-800 Got Junk’s Painted Picture.

Tune in next week as I will share the rest.
