10 Life Lessons from 30 Years of Travel
Turning 30 is a big deal 🥳 Only, not for the reasons you think.
-
After spending time in Mexico to celebrate my 30th birthday, I wanted to share my experiences staying at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal and the Four Seasons Cabo San Lucas.
But as well as showing you these world class properties, I also want to share some important lessons I’ve learned throughout my twenties.
Because as I turn 30 and reflect on the last few years, I realize (and appreciate) how essential your twenties are - both for your personal and professional growth.
So sit back and enjoy this deep dive where you’ll learn:
1️⃣ 10 Important Life Lessons: including 6 and 8 that are particularly key for building a business.
2️⃣ Several Essential Questions: because watching this video isn’t about my story, it’s about you reflecting on your own 🫵
3️⃣ The Single “Aspect” I Still Find Hard: but as I turn 30, I realize is more important than ever.
I hope you get a lot from this video, not just learning about my journey but helping you reflect on your own. Turning 30 is a big deal, but not for the reasons I once thought.
It’s a great period to reflect on where you’ve been, as well as where you are going.

    Mmmm ... I'm a hair-splitter. If the English word "unique" means it's one of a kind, then how can some things be more one of a kind than others? It makes no sense. You say that this Finnair seat is "very unique" .... so you're saying that this seat is "very one of its kind"? Implying that other airlines' seats are not so one of its kind as this one. What on earth does that mean? Please explain. Otherwise, a great presentation. If it weren't for your judgement of the levels of one-of-a-kindness achieved to distract us, it's as good as it gets. Keep it up 👍🏻.

    They also don't let us choose the seats if we have bought business class seats at a cheaper rate( which is not cheap) My wife flew Emirates recently on a 777. Lucky for her, the seat next to her was empty. I'm flying soon..... keeping my fingers crossed
