Here We Go...

Richard, working hard on the business plan. 

Tonight, my husband and I are sitting in a hotel room in Scottsdale, AZ, putting the final touches on his business plan before he meets with big-time investors next week. Everything we own has been sold, donated, or put into storage.


We have opted to fore-go an address and stay on the road for the next 6-12 months, promoting both his current and newest business, eVision Marketing and Viral Storm, respectively. Richard's goal is to speak and network in every major city (at least once) before we end the tour. This is more than a natural outcropping of the Internet marketing career he's been carefully stoking for the last four years; it's a huge journey for our family as we step into the dark, and feel our way through unfamiliar territory.

Our life will consist of staying in hotels, waking up at campgrounds, trying to find creative ways to get our mail, and struggling to condense all of our worldly goods into our four-door car. In the most romantic sense, we are touring the country as we brand my husband's new venture. In the most accurate, we are gypsies.


Just Another Door to Open

My husband is an entrepreneur first. Whatever business venture he is involved in, his brain is still putting its feelers out for other new and innovative ways he can build something from nothing. It's been quite a journey, but with it just being the two of us, we've been at liberty to take risks we otherwise would not have been able to.

In the last decade we've spent taking chances, I've learned a lot of things. Perhaps the greatest lesson I've learned is that the worst thing that can happen is for us to lose everything, and that losing everything isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Having been there, I understand that there are some things we learn only by emerging from the ash of our mistakes and finding the courage to rebuild again.

So here we are, with the ever-present risk of Life throwing us curve balls, and deciding to play the game anyway.

This blog will be your window into our lives as we travel from city to city, and then beyond. Thanks for stopping in, and you are welcome to come back often :)
