Tom and Renée Burzuk met in December 2001 and married nine months later in October 2002 in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, in the church where Renée grew up. They have been joyfully learning together how to best co-pilot this journey of life.

Searching for Bearings

Their journey began in Montréal, Canada. Soon thereafter, both of them had read several books in the Rich Dad Poor Dad series by Robert Kyosaki. These books gave them a new outlook on life. They realized that their previous notions of job security were false, and they searched for new direction. Renée accepted a job in Kelowna, the catalyst that brought them home, something for which they longed. Tom left his management job with a major national airline. Together, they decided they would take the entrepreneurial path and start their own business.

They read several leadership books. The common lessons were the importance of writing goals and finding mentors. The big question they were left with was, "How?"

Renée is a planner and very organized. She had written goals before, especially during university, and saw positive results. Tom, on the other hand, is spontaneous and had more of a short-term focus, which had been successful for him to that point in his life. Now, both Tom and Renée felt a lack of direction.
