Similar to a bucket list but better, the 1% club is about doing remarkable things that less than 1% of the world will ever accomplish.
As you might have heard, I like to push my boundaries, challenge fears, and live a remarkable life. I don’t know anyone else who does so many random things just to experience something different. I like doing this because I get a taste of everything the world has to offer.
I had/have a lot of names for this kind of list. Adventure list, anything and everything list, legacy list, and so forth. None really caught my eye that much and it didn’t seem like a big deal as long as I had a list to keep me going.
However, I did like the name of the 1% club.
Advanced Riskologist Tyler Tervooren writes about the 1% club over at his domain and I totally loved it! Tyler has a wicked inspiring list of goals he’d like to accomplish in the near future so make sure you push him to accomplish them!
Since starting this “list” years ago, I have already accomplished many things which I will list below to give you an idea of where I am at.
More importantly, I will also have a list of things I want to accomplish in the coming years. This will likely be updated VERY frequently as I conjure up more adventures and interesting ideas in my head (uh oh, look out!).
