Kim Brown Quick Facts

After living for 37 years I’ve had the fortunate (or unfortunate?) privilege of succeeding in the eyes of society.  Throughout the years I’ve worked hard, played hard, taken risks, sold my soul (several times), struggled and found bits of adventure and flow.  I’ve had ups and I’ve had downs.   I’ve made a reasonable amount of money and  built up two medium sized companies but it hasn’t been easy and it certainly hasn’t been a blissful experience.  Mixed bag – eh?

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad (and many other similar books) I realised that a job keeps you ‘just over broke.’  I needed to start my own companies.  I followed the advice within the books, started my own companies, worked hard to create my 6-figure income and became ‘successful.’  The process certainly didn’t help me leave the rat-race…After eight years I realized that I was more involved in the rat race than ever before but just recieved a lot more money.

The road hasn’t been smooth and the journey hasn’t exactly been fun.  But is that what life is about – overcoming adversity, struggling until I retire and can relax, working hard and then enjoying the fruits of my labour?  I don’t thinks so.

I’m not sure if it’s my age or my experiences or the higher frequency of planetary vibrations (that the woo-woo  people talk about), but it’s actually dawned on me that life is no fun if the journey is crap.  And who the heck wants to struggle for years in return for the elusive pot of gold at the end of the road?

I finally get it.  Finally! (I think?  I hope?)

It’s all about the journey.  It’s all about planning your life around making sure each day is full of purpose, fun times, challenges, exciting events and filled with love and laughter.  It’s about contribution, adding value to the people around you and feeling a part of the flow of life.

Is it possible to plan your life?  Is it possible to plan a life with purpose?  And what the heck is purpose anyway?

So many questions and I really don’t know all the answers.  I do, however, know one thing – my journey to gain massive amounts of money wasn't what I truly wanted. So now I'm moving on to part 2 in the 'Life of Kim.' 

I quit my job and sold as many shares as I could to buy me some time. Since the beginning of 2012 I've gone through a process of slowing down, analysing my life and trying to make different (and more empowering) life choices. I've discovered what friendship is all about. I've learned how to play again - thanks to my 2 year old daughter. I've started to eat better, play golf and go running. I've been very selective with the work I do and I have a variety of interesting and exciting projects in my pipeline. 

Some days are great and some days are full of confusion and anxiety however I seem to be sliding faster and faster into a lifestyle that is closer to my truth.  Yippie!

I've been writing a blog since 2011 (http://www.EnjoyingTheJourney.co.uk) where I share my thoughts, challenges and successes in the hopes that others will benefit.

So…here goes everything!
