With Jackstars new sponsorship with 888Poker requiring her to travel to more events as one of their ambassadors, it is now a perfect time for me to focus on trying to take a large portion of my business online.
One of my goals with Dare2Dream has always been to try and bring mental performance information to as many people as I can, in a practical and easy to implement way. With travelling already being a large part of our life, being able to take my business online is a huge priority at the moment and allows me to travel with Jackstar on the poker circuit, while at the same time access my work from anywhere in the world.
The past 12 months I have been writing some mental performance program's for a mate's company, Leap Learning that specialises in training for the unemployed. With the Leap software being one of the best educational software's going around and the generosity of my mate, this would be an awesome platform to create Dare2Dream mental performance program's.
At present I am in the process of continuing to write content for both Leap & Dare2Dream on topics such as Goal Setting, Anger Management, Anxiety Management, Focus and the list goes on.
I am currently sitting on a plane, flying from Marrakech to Madrid-Yeh Amazing Right!!
We are 1 week into an 8 week trip of the UK & Europe, which is something we have wanted to do since our 1st trip overseas together over 20 years ago! Jackstar being a poker pro & now an ambassador for Team888, has given us an amazing opportunity to see parts of the world on our "Wish List". So a little over 5 weeks ago we begun to plan out trip for the World Series of Poker Europe, which would be Jackstars 1st official tournament as part of Team888. Looking at the poker schedule, there was EPT (European Poker Tour) LONDON scheduled the week before WSOPE, so we made plans fly into London on the 28th September for a few days of acclimatisation before Jackstar hit the tables.
Well that was the plan!! We booked flights and accommodation and we were all ready to go, until we got a MSG from Jen from 888 asking whether we were coming to Morocco? Morocco has been a place that Jackstar and I having wanted to go to so badly, but never trout we wold get the opportunity! So when Jen asked us to come for a 888Poker event, we simply just had to go!! This meant leaving Australia 11 days earlier, turning this trip from a 6 week adventure to an 8 week adventure! The longest trip we have ever had away from home. But we just had to go, so we changed our flights and begun to arrange our trip to Casablanca Morocco for the 888Poker event.

We flew into London and spent 1 night in the beautiful SoHo area, visiting the usual places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Shopping on Oxford St and the London Eye, where Jackstar had played a poker tournament representing Australia a few years back.
To say the least, I fell in love with London straight away!! The beautiful old buildings, the cosmopolitan city just swept me off my feet! To think this time 12 months ago, I was told I needed to have surgery to remove half my kidney with a 50% chance it was cancerous, to say I was grateful was a massive understatement!! Even though we were only in London for approx 30hrs, it had a massive impact on me that's for sure! When the word "Cancer" is brought up in relation to your own health, the impact it can have on you is crazy! I can safely say, it hit me like I could never have imagined!
So walking the streets of London with the most amazing person in the world, brought me to tears many a times!
Love Whole Foods in SoHo!
