You ready to experience Italy with me?

Day 1 of a 22 day Adventure in Italy

3/4ths of our Executive Team for our new company Culinary Oasis landed in Milan this morning. This includes Valerie Mendoza, Lori Lochtefeld, and I. Edward Delling-Williams will join us on Monday.

Our team will spend a week getting to know the Operating Team at Villa Riviera Resort (www.villarivieraresort.com), the resort we are acquiring on the Italian Riviera. We look forward to meeting its talented team.

In the second week, our top eight investor couples in the Fund join us for our 1st Innaugural Investor Retreat. We have a wonderful itinerary lined up to show our appreciation for all their support.

I plan to share my experiences in a new daily series. You ready to experience Italy with me?

Key lesson: Celebrate the wins; you earned them.

Summary: Day 1 of 22 in Italy: lands in Milan for a marathon trip after the fund closed.
