I just returned from the World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon. It’s an amazing gathering of people from around the world that are focused on living remarkable lives of community, adventure, and service. My husband and I have attended all three years that the conference has existed, and we’ve already reserved our tickets for next year.

On my long flight back yesterday, I organized 15 pages of notes and discovered that there were six key ideas.

Today, I want to share them with you.
