Monday mornings, the official start of the “work week” (for those who are 9 to 5ers). But for those who are crazy enough to persue their dreams of starting and owning their business, Monday’s is just another work day.
My Monday started as usual, I woke up 6am, mediated, had my espresso, worked out, ate breakfast.
When I finally sat at my computer and opened Twitter, I saw this tweet:
Entrepreneurs & bloggers: apply for 1 month trip to Bali. http://t.co/OIJ3pdfY58 @RiversCorbett @VLennox @drgnmeme pic.twitter.com/rOyzE8Uw4u

Woah! What an exciting, and unique opportunity. These Coupofy company sounds super cool. I can certainly learn a lot from them given the fact that everyone in our company work remotely in a virtual office (which makes sense since we sell virtual office services).
After daydreaming for about 5 minutes, I thought to myself:
Wouldn’t that be great?
After which, the phone rang, I answered, and with that, my day flew by, like most other days.
As I write this, it is currently 10:11PM in Toronto, which is 10:11AM local time in Bali. With a 12 hour difference, that gives me time to write more blogs, plan the new year, and continue running.
Besides running Slingshot, how cool would it be to host Startup Canada‘s bi-weekly twitter chat, #StartupChats from Bali. With an average of 20M impressions, I can host these chats while motivating all the participants and guests that it is truly possible to live the dream and work from the beach.
Being of Filipino decent, I have always loved the islands. I had an opportunity to study in the Philippines in high school for one year. It was such an amazing, eye opening experience. Since then, with every trip to Asia, my final destination is usually Manila (and surrounding islands). I have heard so much of Bali since our CTO is Indonesia. I heard how beautiful the country is and how it is growing fast.
In all honestly, the real reason I want to go to Bali is because it is starting to get cold here in Toronto. Although, the Blue Jays have made it in the playoffs for the first time in 22 years, which is super exciting. How much more awesome would it be to watch the Blue Jays win the World Series from the beach?
So, what the heck, it’s getting late, I might as well apply and see what happens. If you are interested, go ahead and apply yourself by clicking this.
Good luck, I hope to see you all there!
