When asked what surprised him about humanity the most, the Dalai Lama replied, 鈥淢an. Because he sacrifices his health to make money, he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result is that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die and then dies having never really lived.鈥�

"It breaks my heart to see 'would-be entrepreneurs 'and 'would-be side-hustlers with amazing skills choose to stay in toxic jobs, with mandatory hours that affect their health. They seem to lack confidence, and they seem to have a fear of leaving the security of the corporate world. They struggle with finding the 'time' to create this side hustle that could grow into a full-time gig as a way to be financially independent. It seems they also struggle to find 'the thing' that they feel passionate about.

This was me when I started. Then I created my academy because I believe inspiration, the tools, and the tribe should be easier than ever with today's user-friendly technology. Choose to change how you think, how you work, and how you play. You might even choose to change your zip code!" - Kathy Binner
