Adding adventure to your business. When you think of being adventurous, you probably don't think of how this applies to your business dealings. In this article, we'll discuss just how you can add a little adventure into your daily business life. Of course, we're not talking here about making huge changes in your business. Instead, let's look at ways you can gain more customers and get more exposure for your business. How personable are you? Do you often talk to strangers? Are you the first person to initiate a conversation? If not, then start making an effort to do just this. Talking to strangers can be uncomfortable, but it does make you get out of your comfort zone. This is all part of what being adventurous is all about. The more you start talking to strangers, the more your confidence level will increase. In turn, this will help you run a more efficient and productive business. Plus, you may just find out that you're having fun. Do you wear a business face all day long, even if you work online? When you write your Facebook posts, are they business-worded and related? Do you ever post about a few personal items? If not, then start doing this today. Adding a few personal notes to your emails or social media posts allows people to see your personality. In other words, they'll get to know the face behind your business. Let people know your views on things, show your sense of humor and just be you. Another way to add adventure into your business is by supporting something that you believe in. Maybe you help out an animal, shelter or charity. Let your customers and website visitors know this. You don't have to hide the fact that you love to help out a certain cause. Again, this can really help add a new dimension to your business and that your customers will appreciate. You're not asking for donations, just stating that this is a worthwhile cause that you put time and effort into. Do you offer business services and really want to charge more, but are wary of increasing your prices? Get adventurous and announce a price increase for all new clients. By charging an amount that you feel you're worth, you'll enjoy running your business more. You'll be happy to put time and effort into each project, as the fee you're getting is appropriate. It can be hard to make changes in your business, but once you do, your business will be the better for it.

Adventurous Jobs Does the thought of having an adventurous job appeal to you? If it does, there are plenty of these types of jobs available, some more adventurous than others. Being an aerial photographer is considered to be an adventurous job. You may find yourself in precarious situations in order to get that perfect shot. This could involve hanging out of a helicopter or having to deep dive in the ocean. A travel blog is also an adventurous job.
Speaker 1:
While traveling is fun and exciting, you may experience sights that can be unnerving. Traveling in poor Asian countries can really open your eyes to the world of poverty, something that you may have not really encountered before as a journalist or reporter. You may find yourself in war-torn, ravaged countries. Here, the mix of adventure and danger is really highlighted, often with your safety being a big concern. Race car driving is a high-speed and thrilling occupation too. Again, it comes with its own dangers, but if you're creative and adventurous, this type of job will undoubtedly appeal to you.
Speaker 1:
Working on a cruise ship and traveling to different locations can certainly be adventurous. You get to see beautiful and exotic islands while meeting people from almost every continent of the world. As with any type of adventurous job, they only appeal to a certain group of people. No one's forcing you to take these jobs on. You understand the dangers and merits before accepting them.
Speaker 1:
Travel blogging is one area that often has a wider appeal. Imagine getting paid to visit beautiful locations around the world for weeks or months at a time. Remember, though, that while the trip may be free, you're still expected to work hard. Plus, you may be required to visit and take part in many local attractions so you can blog about them. This might include riding a heart-pounding roller coaster or jumping off a large tower in New Zealand. You have to be ready and prepared to take part in these things. Only people with an adventurous spirit can easily do them without thinking twice. Are you ready for that type of commitment? If you're contemplating an adventurous job, really look into what the job entails. Then decide if your adventurous streak is up for the challenge. While some jobs may be short-term, others may be more of a career. Are you prepared to keep doing this when and if you have a family in the picture?
Speaker 1:
Being creative and adventurous how many adventurous people do you know? Have you ever noticed that an adventurous person also seems to have a creative streak? Well, it's true. Continue reading to find out why this is. Have you ever dreamt about life on a desert island? Does the thought of being stranded and left to your own devices appeal to you? If so, then you probably have both a creative and an adventurous streak. The challenge of being left alone to build your own shelter and hunt for your own food is so appealing. You're not thinking about any type of danger and are prepared to live in the moment. Creative people love to take on a challenge and have that good streak of perseverance. You aren't going to give up without a good fight. Instead, you're willing to work all night to find a solution to any given problem.
Speaker 1:
Take a look at children and watch how they look for alternative ways to any problem they're faced with. A young toddler that can't reach the cookie jar on the kitchen counter ultimately figures out to use a chair to reach it. They don't think of the potential danger. Climbing on a chair might hold for them. They're being both creative and adventurous. So why can't you apply this same type of reasoning to life as an adult? You don't necessarily have to be rigid and disciplined all the time. There's more than enough room to have some fun and laughter by being adventurous. If life has become a little too commonplace, then start mixing with a group of creative people. They'll help you see things from a different point of view, changing your mindset from I can't to.
Speaker 1:
Let's give it a try is a huge step in becoming more adventurous. How many wishes and whims do you have left unfulfilled in your life? Select one or two and make them become a reality. Get outside of your comfort zone and dare to challenge both your mind and your body. Want to go rock climbing? Then go for it. Want to sail a boat to a Caribbean island? Find a way to make it happen. Nothing in life is impossible if you allow your creative and adventurous streak to shine through. Life is too short and you should be enjoying every moment you possibly can.
Speaker 1:
How adventurous are you? What does the word adventurous mean to you? How willing or eager are you to try new things? Very, or do you find that you shy away from attempting anything new? While most people think that being adventurous automatically means you're a risk taker, this is not always true. Trying something new doesn't mean you have to go skydiving or climb a mountain. There are many ways to be a little more adventurous in your everyday life. Risk takers are those that normally do what you might call crazy things. Quite often, these people have some type of underlying issue which makes them act this way, but then again there are those that just like to seek thrills that are above what we would call normal. If you're in the mood to be adventurous, you can easily just try out something new. This might be eating an exotic food, going to a totally new place or attempting a new sport, or how about trying to climb a flight of stairs at your local sports stadium? Trying something new really means just getting outside of your comfort zone. There must be at least one thing that you'd like to try but haven't yet. Why not work up the courage to do it? You may be amazed at how good you'll feel about yourself if you do. Even if you aren't 100% successful, the fact that you tried is a huge accomplishment. Be proud of yourself.
Speaker 1:
If you find that life's becoming a little boring, then this is a signal that you need to shake up your routine. This is the perfect opportunity to become adventurous and do something that's different. Take up a new hobby, or go on vacation, or just visit a new town on the weekend. Changing things in your family life is another way to get everyone involved in being adventurous. Getting a new family dog would add adventure and excitement into your life for sure. Plus, a dog is a great way to teach your children all about responsibilities. Life doesn't have to get boring, and your daily activities shouldn't be commonplace. Get into the habit of shaking things up every once in a while and try new things. Let go of your kitchen duties and allow your kids or spouse to become the chef. Plan for a family vacation. Enroll in a fitness or self-defense class. Just do something that isn't part of your regular routine, and you'll be happier for it.
Speaker 1:
Improve your adventurosity. How would you like to improve your adventurous streak? While adventurosity may not be a word, I love the sound of it, don't you? As with any personal trait that you're trying to improve, using affirmations and quotes can really be beneficial to you. They can even be used to pump yourself up to finally take on that new challenge. Here's a couple of affirmations that you may want to use 1. I love being adventurous. 2. I love experiencing new things. 3. I love to explore. 4. I will conquer my fears. 5. I am outgoing and headstrong. 6. I look challenges straight in the face. 7. I will focus on the journey as opposed to the destination. 8. I am a brave person. 9. I enjoy danger. 10. I am becoming more adventurous each day.
Speaker 1:
It's quite possible to think yourself into being more adventurous. We were all born with a sense of adventure. How do you think babies discover and learn what the world around them holds? By taking chances and not being afraid. Unfortunately, as you get older, you discover that danger lies within many things and places. This is what often holds you back from facing a challenge head on. It's much easier to stay where it's safe and secure. Even learning a new skill can help you become more adventurous. Why not learn a new language which will help you travel to a new country? Learn how to cook foods of a different culture?
Speaker 1:
Improving your adventurous streak doesn't mean you have to put yourself in harm's way. It just means allowing yourself the freedom to experience new things, such as food, culture, new sports practically anything that you would love to do. Your ultimate goal may be to do an extreme sport just once in your life. Life's really too short and you never know when something may strike you down without warning. Learning to improve how you view the world of adventure can open up a realm of possibilities for you. You could learn new skills, meet new people or be presented with unforeseen opportunities. So if your lack of adventurosity is getting you down, give it a good slap by taking action and changing the way you view adventure. Repeat your affirmations several times each day until you start truly believing in yourself.
Speaker 1:
Nobody, but you can change the way you think. Crease your appeal by becoming adventurous. Are you still single and having trouble finding someone to have a relationship with? If so, you might want to look at how much sex appeal you're projecting. Recent research has shown that people who are seen as adventurous are more appealing and desirable to the opposite sex. If you were to ask a group of people what being adventurous meant to them, you would end up with a ton of different answers. No two would be the same. Some people view being adventurous as being dangerous and ready to go to extremes. Others think it means doing something that you've never tried before. So how does being adventurous add or change your appeal?
Speaker 1:
It's part of human nature to love watching things that are seen as thrilling, exciting and dangerous. By watching these events, you can easily imagine yourself taking part, but without putting yourself in harm's way. So if you meet a person who you think does adventurous things, you are going to be immediately drawn to them. You love watching them take risks such as going skydiving or competing in a boxing fight Deep down. You would love to do the same, but just don't have the courage to do them. The adventurous person will enjoy the companionship and encouragement from another person. This often fuels their drive and spirit to be even more adventurous.
Speaker 1:
Another concept is of two adventurous people connecting with each other. This can build a strong, fun relationship. You both enjoy being daring and are not afraid to jump into something headfirst. Neither one of you worries about the dangers, nor are you thinking of any long-term relationship at this point. You're just having fun living in the present and enjoying every possible moment. If you're looking to meet someone new, then getting out of your comfort zone and taking on new challenges is one way to do this. You could join a mountain biking club hiking club, go on a singles vacation or go mountain climbing or skiing hiking club. Go on a singles vacation or go mountain climbing or skiing.
Speaker 1:
By surrounding yourself with adventurous people, you're more likely to unlock your own adventurous spirit. As you see people fulfill their dreams and take on new challenges, you'll be tempted to do the same. So if you're having trouble finding a date, then why not let a little adventure into your life and see where it leads you? Increase your confidence by being adventurous. If you feel as though you're lacking in self-confidence, the answer could be to become a little more adventurous.
Speaker 1:
Doing something that you've never done before is a great way to build up your self-confidence. When was the last time you did something that felt uncomfortable to you? Many people naturally tend to shy away from being adventurous. They don't want to take huge risks and prefer to stay on the same safe path. While this may be fine, it often leads to a life that becomes too familiar. You have your set routines each day and know exactly what you do on the weekends Get up, clean the house, do the laundry, go shopping and get ready for work on Monday. Sounds a little boring, doesn't it? So why not shake up your life by doing something new? What one thing have you wanted to learn, or what place would you love to visit, but haven't? Why not make some plans to do it? What is holding you back other than your lack of confidence? Nothing at all. One of my good friends was scared of walking across a rope bridge over a beautiful gorge. They finally got up the courage to try and faced their fear head on. Eventually, they managed to walk across the bridge, and boy, you should have seen the smile on their face when they got to the other side.
Speaker 1:
Talk about a boost for your self-confidence. Increasing your self-confidence levels can do wonders for your self-esteem too. You stop seeing yourself as a failure. Instead, you understand that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve almost anything you want to achieve. Start today by setting a goal. This goal should be a little challenging to you and involve something adventurous for you anyway. Write down your goal and then write down the steps you need to take to achieve your goal. Then just start tackling one step at a time. It doesn't matter how long it takes to reach your goal. Just work on it as much as possible. When you do reach your goal, you'll feel thrilled with yourself. Your confidence level will rise automatically and you, too, can have that huge smile on your face. It's time to stop feeling insecure and wondering what life really holds for you. Instead, take a step outside your comfort zone and embrace the adventures that life has to offer.

Adventurous people love to travel and can find it extremely difficult to settle down in any place. They love to just pick things up and move on whenever they feel the urge.

What you might view as a challenge, they might see as simply too dangerous. Even though you may be fantastic at the art of persuasion, you shouldn't push people into doing something that they're truly fearful of.
Speaker 1:
People with adventurous personalities may often be told that it's time to grow up and settle down. If this applies to you, you now know the reason why you were born with an adventurous spirit that isn't ready for anything but action. It's time to change your routine. Are you feeling as though you're stuck in a rut? Your daily and weekly routines never change and you start to wonder just what life holds for you in the future.

Speaker 1:
There's no doubt that you must feel daring and adventurous at some point. The question is do you act on these feelings and thoughts? If not, why not?

Sometimes, when these ideas pop into your head, it's common to quickly dismiss them. The words risky, dangerous, difficult and daring probably have you dispelling taking any further action. The next time an adventurous idea crops up, don't dispel it immediately. Instead, take the time to really consider if this is something you could do. Write down all the reasons for taking the adventure and then those for not taking it. Then compare the two sides and see which one really makes sense. Quite often, the pros will outweigh the cons.
Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:
Adventure of life. How much stock do you put into the word adventurous? Do you see your life in this way or not? When you think about it, life is full of adventures that never stop. Let's take a look.
Speaker 1:
When you were young, you were excited by everything that surrounded you. As a baby, adventures lay in discovering how your fingers and toes worked. As you got older, there was the adventure of trying new foods, learning how to roll over and eventually crawl then walk. If you could clearly remember these times, your brain was probably full of questions and enjoyed each challenge. Young children don't see these things as an obstacle in their way. They patiently keep on trying until they learn how to climb those stairs or learn how to dress themselves.
Speaker 1:
Unfortunately, as we get older, this excitement and sense of adventure seems to disappear. Instead, it's replaced with routines, habits and things that are familiar. This excitement and sense of adventure seems to disappear. Instead it's replaced with routines, habits and things that are familiar, safe and secure. Why does this happen? Possibly because you get so tied up in your everyday life you stop seeing the world that's around you, or you're just so busy with school, work and your family that your own thoughts don't have time to wander as they once did. This really is a shame when the world has so much to offer everyone.
Speaker 1:
So why not try and put some of this spunk back in your life? This can easily be done by allowing yourself the pleasure of fulfilling one of your dreams. Maybe you want to visit the Alps or go scuba diving off the Gold Coast of Australia. Why can't you still do these things? Find a way to fulfill your dream by letting your adventurous streak emerge. Maybe the thing you want to be isn't the most sensible thing that you should be doing, but if it's one of your life's dreams, then don't question your reason why? Just find a way to make your dream a reality. If your dream isn't as extravagant, that's fine too. You may just want to learn martial arts or run in a marathon. Instead of telling yourself you don't have the time for these things, make time. This could involve coming home late for dinner once a week or missing that beer with the boys. If you're willing to make a small sacrifice in order to have some adventure in your life, wouldn't you do it? Life truly is an adventure, with lots to learn and see. Don't settle for second best.
