Test Drive College Edition is Ready!

We are very excited to announce that our College Edition of Test Drive Your Future is completed and already on Amazon!

We call Test Drive Your Future “The book we wish we’d had before declaring a college major, choosing a career, or spending any money on college!” The College Edition contains the same “test drive process” as the original edition, but is written specifically for college students. The book is in a smaller layout (the High School Edition is a workbook format) with free access to the Mile Marker Expansion Pack online.

It’s time to Test Drive Your Future if 1) You have yet to declare a major or aren’t sure you’ve declared the “right” one; 2) You don’t have the first clue which career path is for you or you’re having a hard time choosing between one or more possible careers; or 3) You want to make the best career choice for your investment of time and money, yet also feel passionate about that career.

Test Drive available at Amazon


We are very excited to receive a copy of Test Drive Your Future through Amazon. Of course we didn’t need to order a copy ourselves as we have a few hundred in our office, but Jim really likes to experience taking it out of the Amazon box and seeing our names on the book inside. So here it is! So far we’ve had some really great feedback.

Here’s what Joyce Reed, the director of College Goals, and former Associate Dean of the College at Brown University, had to say about the book:

I am so impressed! This is a GREAT gift to young people, and their families. NO ONE talks to kids this way! You hit them with all their senses flaring . . . it’s great. You take them seriously. But you don’t expect them to know more than they do. Beautiful!

We greatly respect Joyce’s work and were really please at her response.

Life just got a lot more fun

A Little Bit More Fun just got a whole lot more fun with the addition of Amy Stewart and John Penry to our business and our home. Jim and John have been best friends since they were three years old, growing up in the same neighborhood in Edgington, Illinois. John and Amy just moved to the Big Island two months ago after recently being married in Des Moines, Iowa. Our team of two just grew to four and we are having a ball brainstorming, working together, and having new and exciting adventures on the island. Welcome John and Amy to life, work, and a little bit more fun in Hawaii!

Our Honorary CEO


A week ago today we had a visitor to our home. His name, we soon decided, was Jack (we were big Lost fans and since the season just ended, this influenced our decision). Then a few days later upon closer inspection we realized that Jack was actually a Jill. We were devastated as were already mourning the loss of LOST, and now we couldn’t use the name Jack! None of the other female characters from the show worked for our cat — we tried Julia, Kate, Claire, but nothing fit.  We polled our Facebook friends who suggested Jackie, Jackie-O, Jill, and Zadora (not sure where that one came from!), but alas none of these names seemed to work either.

In the end we named her Charlie, and she has taken up near permanent residence in the extra executive chair in our office that sits between Jim and my desk. Thus we have dubbed her our honorary CEO, or CFO (Chief Feline Officer). Having a kitty definitely makes our work and our lives a little bit more fun, so we hope she will stick around.

New note: Turns out our female kitty Charlie is actually a male after taking him to the vet and realizing that he had already been fixed! We kept his name at Charlie to keep everything simpler!

30 Day Challenge Completed

We’d have to say that our 30 Day Challenge to have a little bit more fun was successful. We tried over 75 new things in 30 days! Where to go from here? Think I’ll put my feet up, watch the sunset, and give it a little thought…
