100 Years for Michigan state parks

2019 marks 100 years since the founding of the Michigan state parks system. To celebrate this centennial year, Jessi and Ari have a goal to visit all of the 103 state parks in Michigan.

Learnings from The RV Entrepreneur Summit

Here are a few of the key takeaways that the Trekers learned at the RVE Summit:

  • Remember your why. Remember you’re focusing on travel and freedom. As one of the speakers said, “Not every day in RV life will be Facebook worthy.” Focusing on your why will keep you going on this journey.
  • It’s okay to say no. When you’re first starting out (in a new lifestyle, business, etc), it’s tempting to take on all opportunities possible. This isn’t always the best thing to do. Some opportunities, even good ones, can take you away from your original focus. Be strategic about what you decide to take on.
  • We’re not alone in this journey. There are people at all stages of life and business in the RV community and so many examples to learn from.
