Just read this article in the Pennsylvania Outdoor News. . . https://www.outdoornews.com/2025/12/03/glampsites-to-be-available-at-eight-pennsylvania-state-parks-this-spring/

This morning was a first: The bank took me out to coffee. I guess that's where I'm at now-a-days! My financing is coming into play and I'll share details with you tonight. Along with... - The new Explorer + Master Track in our membership - News from the Todd Wynne-Parry hunt & tour of Aramark - My email to the county concerning the 14 foot setback they want me to spend $1500 surveying to prove them wrong (grrrr) Come ready to share your latest news. The group is intended to keep us all pushing our development dreams forward. See you at 7pm tonight! Chris

So this morning Todd Wynne-Parry texted me a little diagram I had never seen before — the four-circle “ikigai” framework. Naturally, I fell straight down the wormhole. Research mode activated. But the more I dug, the more something surprising hit me: This thing describes exactly what we’re trying to build here in YLIG. Ikigai is basically the center of the target — the overlap of: - What you love - What you’re good at - What the world needs - What you can get paid for And suddenly I thought… "wait a minute." Isn’t that the whole point of what we’re doing as land developers, dream-chasers, freedom-builders? We’re not just trying to build glamping sites or short-term rentals. We’re trying to build lives that sit closer and closer to that bullseye — purpose, capability, contribution, and income all lined up. So here’s your Monday nudge: If you’re in this group, you’re already one of the “ikigai weirdos.” You’re someone who refuses to settle for the life everyone else sleepwalks through. You’re aiming for that center. Let’s keep moving toward it together. Happy Monday, friends — let’s build.

Hey everyone — I want to give you a clear look at where YLIG is heading. I’m restructuring the community so it better reflects the real stages landowners go through. Going forward, YLIG will have two membership levels: the FREE Explorer Track and the PAID Masters Track. *** FREE — The Explorer Track *** This is for people who are actively exploring the idea of developing land — curious, interested, maybe even running early numbers — but not yet committed to a project. Explorer members will still have access to community conversations and the weekly meetings, giving you a chance to listen, learn, and get a feel for what real development looks like. I’m also considering a small set of introductory lessons inside the Classrooms to help you understand opportunities and possibilities. But that’s it. Anything involving planning, financing, permitting, strategy, or execution will remain behind the paywall. *** PAID — The Masters Track *** This is for those who are building: you have land, you’re under contract, or you’re in the middle of design, development, permits, operations, or launch. The Masters Track includes everything you need to succeed — templates, MonGlamp documents, business workflows, compliance case studies, backend operations, and the full Mastermind experience. This is where real progress happens, and it’s designed specifically for people who are moving forward, not just thinking about it. The Masters Track has two payment options: - Monthly - Yearly (saves $100) Pick whichever fits your season. *** About upgrading or downgrading *** Some of you will realize you’re better suited for the Explorer Track right now. Others will see that it’s time to step into the Masters Track because you’re actively developing. I’m good with both. My goal is to support you in the lane that actually matches your momentum. More updates soon — but this is the direction, and it’s going to make the entire YLIG ecosystem clearer, stronger, and more aligned with the real journey of land-based hospitality.

Looks like our group have GROWN. See you all on the call tonight.
