Do More, Talk (A Little) More
Kent R.
Even though we are living a life that is easily defined as aspirational – a life we deliberately designed to be fulfilling, freedom-rich, and low-stress – we don’t talk much about our journey. A key to our success has been: do more, talk less.
We learned that we’ve talked (and written!) too little.
Now, we’re changing that.
We’re excited to announce that we are currently putting the final touches on No Vacation Required, the book. After nearly two decades of living this unconventional life, we’re taking everything we’ve learned – all our professional expertise and lived experience – to create a guide to help other people build their own No Vacation Required lives. In addition to providing insights and the advice we wished we’d had access to when we started down this (at the time) very lightly trodden path. And, because our life has been something of a laboratory for the tools and concepts we’ll be providing, we’re sharing some details about our journey.
We’ve had interest over the years in our publishing a book. While we appreciate the faith in our story and work, it’s easier said than done! (Once, we were even approached about doing a TV show – can you imagine 🫠). But here we are now, 2024, in the final stretch of writing and gearing up to lean into shopping it. Its equal measures daunting and exhilarating. This is a new-ish process for us so, as we move forward, we’ll share what we learn with you and all our fellow writers here on Substack (and welcome any advice you have).
Anyway, here’s a peek at some of the reflecting we’ve been doing as we put together our story. We hope it shows that each of our origin stories contains, perhaps, some of the most share-worthy advice.
