EcoLog01 - Why move to Hong Kong

Why Hong Kong?

Three key reasons

1) A Business

We have been involved with XL Results Foundation, an entrepreneur's coaching network since 2004. A year ago we took on the license to run XL in Hong Kong and Macau. Now we are heading over to really get this business rocking. The business is about helping people grow their businesses so that they can then have more resources available to donate to charities.

Another core part of the organization is what is called Wealth Dynamics, a personality profiling system that shows you your path of least resistance for generating wealth. For more info on the profiling check out http://www.wealthdynamics.org/ and to learn about XL head to http://www.resultsfoundation.com/

2) A Conservation Project

For those of you who know about Karori Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellington (http://www.sanctuary.org.nz/) or the Eden Project in the UK (http://www.edenproject.com/), we are setting up a similar type of project on Lantau Island called Ark Eden on Lantau (http://www.arkedenonlantau.com/).

The basis of it is working with 2 other people who as teachers now have children come to the village of Mui Wo to plant trees and learn about nature conservation. We are going to assist this through providing eco-tourism ventures such as accommodation, bush walks and cultural tours.

3) A Change

We were thinking of going off on a big OE trip as a holiday. Then thought why not make it a working one where we are working on our own businesses rather than working just for money and not necessarily in areas that we are passionate about.

The business and conservation projects both really excite us hence why we can not wait to get to Hong Kong.

So what does that mean for us...
You will have to read the EcoLog's of our journey!
