July 2025 - Reflections on My Epic First Month
A life well lived. That’s what I would say if asked to sum up the first thirty days of my year-long World Tour adventure. I have the distinct privilege of living my absolute best life and sharing that life with so many incredible human beings. To me, that is a life well lived.
Victor Frankel, in his timeless classic, Man’s Search for Meaning said, “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked.” Life, indeed, is asking each of us what the meaning of our life is. At the end of our life looking back, what was it all for?
I have spent more than the last decade of my life considering the best answer to this question and here’s what I have come up with (so far). The shortest answer is: impact. I wish to leave the world better than when I was born into it and create the most positive impact I can make on as many lives as I can before I die. I see that my unique ability to guide and support the financial freedom of coaches globally, is a great place to start.
Free Audiobook & PDF available to every coach who wants it
In addition, when I first created AskBill.us, I did so with the deep desire have an artificial intelligence platform specifically designed just for coaches seeking to build their coaching business. And, with the generous support of coaches everywhere, I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to keep this platform free and available to every coach.
So while it’s easy to say that I want to create a global impact, I now have the evidence that what I’m doing is both working and having the impact that I set out to achieve all long. This is especially true given the incredible opportunity I had from January 2020 until May of 2025 to work with so many coaches through Positive Intelligence. Via the grant program, more than 100,000 coaches became mentally fit and more than 10,000 coaches had an opportunity to implement my Sage Business Development training. Again, impact.
Why coaches? Because for every one coach that I’m able to help become financially free, they are then, in turn, able to run a sustainable and profitable coaching business. On average, on coach will impact about 300 clients not to mention their families, coworkers and friends.
I share all of this as context for the first month of my World Tour. Because while I loved working with coaches virtually via Zoom, nothing feeds my soul like spending quality time with coaches individually or in small groups.
And if you think there are a lot of pictures here, then you haven’t spent nearly enough time in the gallery where I’ve posted hundreds of pictures from Ireland, Scotland, Guernsey, England (which was so big, I needed a seperate London photo album), Finland, Sweenen, Denmark, and most recently Berlin. And soon I’ll be posting pictures from Budapest where I’m writing to you from right now.
I’m sharing all of this as I’m about to go on a seven-day silent meditation retreat while I’m here in Budapest. No question that I hit the proverbial ground running with this tour, but now it’s time to downshift and intentionally do less. Fewer locations with longer stays and deeper focus on being vs. the doing that you can clearly see I’ve been up to this past month.
I’m not “done” with my blog. I’m simply acknowledging that I can’t maintain this pace in perpetuity. Starting this month in August, I’ll begin more Ease & Flow. Less sprint and more marathon. I’m fully committed to spending a year abroad and I’m enjoying all that I’ve “done” this far, but for the next phase of my trip, it’s going to be doing a lot less on purpose so that I can truly be the best version of myself as I travel and explore the world.
Be love. That’s at the center of it all!
