One of the things I¿ve observed among some incredibly successful people is the guarding of their ¿how¿. What I mean here is that many they willingly share what they have accomplished but only give cursory remarks on concerning how they did it. To be fair there are some legitimate reasons they do this. Some fear the erroneous replication of their brand. Others fear that some will take the strategies move toward implementation while totally dismissing the sweat equity implicit within them. This guarded approach is completely understood and has given me even greater excitement about this book. What works for one organization may not work for yours, but it is essential that you have a comprehensive understanding of what it truly takes to execute vision.

At 19, New Zealand-born TV adventurer Phil Keoghan nearly drowned during a dive to a sunken cruise ship. He survived, but the near-miss got him thinking about all the things he wanted to do before he died - and there were so many he began a list, checking off number one straightaway when he returned to the scene of his diving emergency the very same day. Back on dry land, Phil set about fulfilling his wish list, embarking on a series of adventures ranging from enjoying a five-star meal on the top of an erupting volcano to getting married underwater. He found that while often off-the-wall, quirky and sometimes even downright dangerous, each experience enriched his life in unexpected ways. And he realised he had created a philosophy that he's keen to share with others: it's all about getting the most out of life. Now Phil wants to help you achieve the experiences you've always hankered after but thought you would never have time for. With easygoing humour, he cuts through the excuses and asks, 'What are you waiting for?' Drawing on Phil's own amazing adventures as well as the stories of ordinary people who have taken up his challenge, NO OPPORTUNITY WASTED is an urgent call to action that will inspire you to: * face your fear * 'get lost' - lose yourself in the experience * test your limits * take a leap of faith * rediscover your childhood * shed your inhibitions * break new ground, and * aim for the heart - live out your dream by helping others. So stop dreaming and get out there and do it - NOW!

In dramatic narrative form, Phil Keoghan transports the reader from the Yucatan Jungle to the depths of an underwater cave to the top of an erupting volcano. But this is no armchair traveler book. It is an urgent call to action, inspiring and enabling people to overcome fear and seek out memorable experiences of their own. With his fresh and compelling N.O.W. philosophy, No Opportunity Wasted will help us all dream more freely and live more fully.

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we misuse and abuse it instead of investing it wisely and enjoying its fruitful returns. Millions of moments are mismanaged and often times lost due to our lack of action! Many people believe that knowledge is power, and I 100% disagree. Knowledge is nothing more than potential, and potential is just unused talent. In order to transfer our potential into power we have to take our knowledge and pair it with planned, purposed, and passionate actions. REMEMBER! It is about now, not then. It is about now, not when. Pondering past moments may cause depression. The anticipation of future endeavors can cause anxiety, but focusing on the now will fuel progress! No Opportunity Wasted! Let's Go!!

Rich lessons from single women who are trying to poise their hearts between what is and what God has yet to send their way are presented in a reminder to claim God's purpose not someday, but today.
