Bucket List
The Bucket List is a list of things that you’d like to do before you ‘kick the bucket!’ It provides you with inspiration and motivation whilst helping you articulate your dreams - so that should an opportunity to fulfil one of your long-held ambitions pop up, you’ll be crouched ready to pounce on it!
Today Yumi kicks off today’s Bucket List by crossing one of her dreams, milking a cow off her list! We take a look.
During the course of the year, we’re going to be trying to make your dreams come true so email us with your bucket list at thecircle@networkten.com.au
