21 Day Practice of Capitalism – Day 12 – Living the Alaskan Dream
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP
Haines is a nice winter place when your job is in the Arctic.
I met my neighbor today – Michael Wald. He owns Arctic Wild – Adventures in Latitude – he winters in Haines, Alaska. And he runs his business out of Fairbanks, Alaska in the summer. I can definitely understand why he would not want to winter in Fairbanks; with their -50 degree days as the standard event. But Haines? He said he just loved Alaska and this is how he enjoyed spending his time off. When I met him he was pulling his custom built rowboat on shore with a come along he had rigged up on top of a stump. It was a balmy 30 degrees here today. Michael is living the “dream.” He said he never thought he could make a living doing what he loves, but that is precisely what he’s doing. To all you entrepreneurs out there – keep living your dream. You can DO IT!!
