STAGES OF YOUR OCEAN DREAM LIFESTYLE
The Dream Stage – you are actively dreaming about a life on the sea
Planning stages – this is the reality check on where each individual or couple is on the spectrum of this lifestyle journey.
Early Stage – reading, researching, taking classes, gathering data, joining groups, trying to understand – get the reality check and begin planning.
Decision Stage –You have decided! This is it.
You don’t know how but you do know it is your authentic dream. This is where you start telling friends, family co-workers.
Action Stage – You have decided, the groundwork has been completed. You have your picture of your boat, up where you spend the most time, so you see it throughout the day. You verify your decision by either chartering, sailing with a friend, or going to a boat show and getting on the boat. You have assessed your budget, your skill level and that of your partner, spouse & family (The Crew). Defined your needs and wants. This is a project, so you create your plan.
This program has been created with powerful messages to help every individual who is ready to be aligned with their life purpose and create a fulfilling, abundant, happy and meaningful life.
The Universe is wise beyond measure, and its infinite intelligence flows through everything and everyone. By aligning yourself with this infinite intelligence, you will begin to attract the help, support and opportunities that will help you achieve your vision.
Walk away from fear and self-doubt and step into freedom. With this new found sense of freedom, you will be able to make leaps and bounds towards your dream life.
- Taking one action step per day toward your dream.
- Active Boat Shopping – perspective from Deb as to the right size to budget. Clarifying your intentions, how you plan to use the boat. A checklist of questions to be a well-informed buyer, so you can evaluate listings and viewings, common mis-takes during the purchase process. Deb will provide you referrals to brokers and surveyors who she trusts, if you don’t have that relationship.
Realization Stage – You bought your boat! Now the paperwork, registration, insurance, commissioning the boat to you and your cruising needs. Time to bring the Instructor/Coach/Captain aboard to assist you with your priorities.
LIVING IT STAGE – NEW PROJECT PLAN – WHAT’S THE GOAL? CRUISING DESTINATION, WHERE TO, BY WHEN?
You have the boat in your marina, dock, or location where you are keeping the boat. You have made a lot of life decisions this year, and you are still at the dock. You did your shake-down cruise.
Ask yourself where do I feel “disjointed, out of control, uncomfortable”? Have a laser coaching session, get your action plan ready and you will be ready to leave before you know it.
What skills do you feel you or your crew need to master before leaving?
Departure Day – this day will be like any other day that you leave the dock with one exception, you are not coming back. You are setting the compass heading to your first destination, and you are cruising. Now it begins to sink in. All the preparation, studying weather reports, routing, uploading waypoints, and you are at the helm, you have left the marina, and made your final turn from what had been your home inlet.
Active Cruiser Support – active cruisers with big-picture guidance on routing strategy, weather insight, regional planning, maintenance troubleshooting, new equipment, and more.
Deb supports you on the relationship side of learning this new lifestyle together, and/or she will assist you when you have those curve balls that happen out of left field. So, lets figure it out the actual problem, assess the situation and give you the best recommendations of what to do, where and when with known resources. While through this calming fears, doubts and worries.
