I approached a friend several months back and said: I have an idea for a travel business that’s ripe for disruption for the good. I want to change the world with a business opportunity that will:

• Help people make and save lots of money while having lots and lots of fun
• Bring families together, including my own several times per year
• Grow and learn
• Be mission oriented
• Attract good people
• Live our values
• See the Wonders of the World

His reaction? Go for it man, I wish you the best of success! Any way I can go see the Wonders of the World with you?

So I responded: Of course, let’s build the list of places we’d like to see together and I’d love your help to build this business.

Our goal is simple: help as many as people as possible see the world at a fraction of the cost. And change the world!

I love to travel and have a deep desire like many of you to travel more and see the world. I challenged myself first to complete the following exercise. I thought you too might find it compelling...

1. Review the list below of The Wonders of The World
2. Circle where you have been.
3. Now, circle your top destination and put a By When next to that destination.
4. Now, how cool would it be to see at least one Wonder each year in each category for the next 5 years?
5. Shouldn’t you see at least 5 of these Wonders over the next 5 years?
