When are you going to tackle your bucket list?
My guest today is Alan Worden, a serial entrepreneur focused on leisure-seeking Baby Boomers who founded Scout Real Estate Capital.
For Alan, there came a time when he realized it may be now or never if he wanted to chase his dreams.
In 1999, Alan asked 10 trusted friends and advisors for advice. He asked each if it was a good idea to drop prosperous careers and go sailing from the U.S. to New Zealand with his wife.
Independently, each of them said “If you can do it, do it now. It’s never going to get any easier.”
That was in 1999. Soon after that, Worden spent exactly 365 days sailing to New Zealand in an Everest-sized adventure you’ll love to hear about. (Including a brush with death I won’t spoil for you.)
He spent all that time and most of his money to make it happen.
For him, it was as much about conquering fear as it was about a bucket list item to cross off. See, Alan’s biggest fear is the ocean.
And he crossed 18,000 miles of it in his “do it now” year.
The lessons he learned on that sailboat have carried him to new heights in life and in this episode you’ll learn just what they are.
If you think you could make your dreams happen and something is holding you back, this episode is for you.
If you have trouble facing your fears but want to get better at it, listen to this conversation with Alan.
