Hi there~


Why do moms and par­ents quit adven­ture when they have kids?

Well, not me…some might call me crazy, but believe it or not, I recently walked away from a  six fig­ure salary with a multi-million dol­lar busi­ness that I cur­rently own dur­ing the worst eco­nomic con­di­tions in decades.  Why’s that you ask? So that I can have more time to pur­sue the two things that mat­ter most in my life:  1. my fam­ily 2. adven­ture.  For the last year or so, I was scratch­ing my head (as all of my hair was falling out) and try­ing to fig­ure out how I could have pos­si­bly build a busi­ness and at the same time worked myself into a rat race??  My inten­tion with that com­pany was to work less and make more.  Well I wasn’t com­plain­ing about the salary, but the enjoy­ment and pas­sion was long gone.  I was spend­ing far less time with my fam­ily and more time stress­ing about work! Ugh!  There had to be a bet­ter way.  So I left, and gave up my salary, my car, my ben­e­fits and took a huge leap of faith.  I am now on a quest to find income through pas­sive means and adven­ture with my new found time!!

What has been the com­mon theme in my life is my quest for learn­ing and adven­ture.  I have trav­eled to Rus­sia at a young age, been a wild land fire­fighter, a para­medic, built a multi-million dol­lar com­pany, rode dirt bikes, snow skied…and the list goes on.  Can I still do all of these things with kids?  Can my lifestyle allow it?  I am search­ing for the most valu­able cur­rency around, and that is TIME!  I feel like there is a bet­ter way to live…won’t you join me on my quest to regain my time and recap­ture this adventure??

      Thanks Jen! So flat­ter­ing com­ing from you! Like you, I’ve done “a lit­tle of this” and “a lit­tle of that”, but I have to say, your blog has been very inspir­ing to me — espe­cially that part about no alarm clock, and big­ger is not always better–so true! I’m not quite yet a mil­lion­aire, but I now have my life struc­tured in such a way that I wake up when I want! (Actu­ally, it’s when the boys come stam­ped­ing into my room …you’re a mom, you know how that works!)

  • I think you’ve made the right choice. It’s a wise deci­sion to choose TIME, espe­cially the pre­cious time with your family.

Hi I’m Makenzie!







I just walked away from a six-figure income to pur­sue the two most impor­tant things in my life:
1. Time with My Fam­ily
2. Time for Adven­ture.

I’ve done this all with­out sac­ri­fic­ing our qual­ity of life!!
I’m redesign­ing my life to recap­ture what’s really impor­tant, and I want to teach oth­ers to do the same!
