Nomadness Prepares to Break Down All Travel Barriers with New Black Box

A Letter from the Creator of Nomadness:
 

'When I sat down and thought about the name for our travel course, nothing was sticking at first. I wanted something clearly travel oriented, clever, but not obvious. I was on the phone with Brittney (Social Media Maven) looking through terms, and I yelled out 'Black Box..that's it! It's where all the important information about a flight is housed. All the communication. It's where everyone, even the experts turn to for travel information.' It literally, was perfect.

It was exactly what I wanted to create. A course that breaks down the psychological, financial, and physical barriers that people have to travel. Because the truth is, everyone CAN do this! Not just me, not just Tribe. You, with your freelancing gig, or 9-5, or pipe dream and lonely bank account...your travel won't look the same, but it's still something that can be attained.

NMDNBLACKBOX.COM is a 6 month course that breaks down all the barriers of entry that you have into the world of travel. Period. It's for everyone...from the well traveled, to those who have never stepped foot on a plane. Period.
From finding your travel style, to getting over the fear of flying (a personal issue I had many panic attacks over...ironically), to traveling with food allergies, and what to sign up for so you are taken care of in case you have an emergency abroad. We are covering it all. Weekly, in 15 minute or less classes. ' - Keep Traveling, Evita

The Tribes We Lead: Seth Godin TED Talk

Funny how Tribe member Ruby posted this today as I get back into the memoir writing. With that said, Seth Godin's book 'Tribes' is exactly how the Facebook group was started. It's insane to think back almost 2 years now and see the amazing growth and progression. This man is an inspiration, directly, to my life.

Peep it...

 

I'm turning into my ex...

I've realized, specifically over the course of this insane last 7 days that I've had, that I'm turning into my ex boyfriend. I'm turning into the person he was when we broke up, to be exact....

Now, this isn't a bad thing but it's a hell of a realization to have, and it shows me that life is spinning in a climax of organized chaos at the moment.

I have tons of respect for my ex, and there is a part of me that will always appreciate what we shared together. He still has split parentship of my cat for goodness sake.....

Anyway....

When we decided to split, it was a point at which he (probably even moreso than I) was gunning for his dreams like a fu*king Mac truck down the Auto Bahn. There was no stopping him. Frankly, that was one of the things I found sexiest about him. He was working two jobs, going to auditions, booking auditions, hitting the gym daily, and taking acting classes.

He turned into a machine.

I have never, in my life, ever witnessed anyone lock in and load off the way this man could. It was inhumane at points in time. Then at the end of it all, he had me. An entrepreneur and dream driver myself (no doubt) but as a woman I was born with that multitasking gene where we can do everything effectively for the most part, while only throwing our emotional stability into jeopardy.

So that was me, and that was him. And that's where it had to end.

Now, some nine months after the split. I am in a point in my life of machinery. I have become that damn machine. I juggle between any three given jobs, depending on the week, the Tribe, the series, building the business, and trying to keep some type of workout regime myself.

I more clearly understand where he was at this time. It's a mix of juggling and balancing simultaneously.

In looking at where I am, I asked myself the other day: How was he ever in a relationship and still doing all this stuff?

Granted, I am extremely supportive of my man's pursuits, so there wasn't any bitching. I initiated the end before we got there.

But damn....still. I don't know how he did it for however long he did because I realized over the course of this last week: I have no time to be in a serious relationship.

Besides being terrified of anything that would take time, energy, and focus away from this here movement....I simply don't have any of those things to spare at the moment. nada.

So I guess, this blog is a, "Ahh, I get it now..." type of blog. But it also let's me know I'm locked in. I have the most going on than ever. And I'm the farthest along I've ever been. That's not a coincidence. 

I'm heading home knowing that I'm making the right decision...building is coming first right now, and being single (mingling is fine) is in my best interest at the moment.

to be continued....

paving your own path...

As I look into furthering along my own career, I'm going through the inevitable process of looking at those who were there before me.

It's imperative to pave your own path, but it's just as crucial to pay attention to those who might have left remnants of footprints along the way.

The importance of a mentor/mentee relationship proves itself to be a fundamental building block. It's the opportunity to exchange with personal heroes, learn their story, and heed their advice where you see fit. A fearlessness has developed underneath my successes and many failures. If there's one thing I am glad I've developed, and something I suggest to you all, don't be afraid to ask for help. The worst thing someone can tell you is no. In that case, you don't take it personal, and you keep asking until you get a yes.

Today, in the continuation of my fundraising efforts, I'm going to be approaching some of my own personal heroes. Many are famous, others are friends, some know me, and others have probably never heard my name or Nomad•ness. It's time to reach out to those whose wisdom and insight may be as valuable as a pledge!

Let's go! 30 days left and $3375 left to raise! Let's go! PLEDGE AND SPREAD!
