Design A New Destiny
Design A New Destiny (aka The DANDY Project) began life as a style and design blog.
The idea that looking good makes us feel good is often forgotten in the personal development space. Our confidence is stronger, our personality gets out… and we are better prepared to go after and attract the things we want in life.
Our site has grown, and has diversified to include a wider range of topics, with the goal of helping people build a life they love.
Lifestyle Design
You may have heard of “Lifestyle Design” (a term made popular in Tim Ferris’s breakthrough book “The 4-Hour Workweek”).
While achieving a 4-hour workweek may not be realistic, I do believe we should be actively involved in “designing” the life we want.
DESTINY is defined as the “hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future”, and, it's often credited for where we end up in life.
But I believe we decide our own fate. Successful people who were “destined for greatness” did not achieve their goals by chance.
If you search the web, you'll find several definitions of what lifestyle design is, but they all lead to the same goal. Lifestyle design is simply planning, and building your life around the things, people and places you love.
Most people put more planning into a 3-day long weekend than they do their entire lives, and while the ideal life may ultimately be unattainable, it’s a worthwhile goal. We only get one shot at this life (as far as we know).
And, the ideal life means different things to different people. It might be finding and building a life with the right partner (and not messing it up on the first date),

Or, maybe it's making that million bucks (well, at the very least earning a living that provides more freedom and independence). 😀

Whatever lifestyle design means to you, The Dandy Project's goal is to provide real, actionable tips, advice and suggestions to help you live a life with purpose and "on purpose"... not by chance.
The Time is Now to Design Your Destiny
There are billions of people on this planet, but the web, social media, YouTube, etc. have made our world extremely small. Our community is no longer the one we see outside our window.
It’s global.
We’re all in this thing together.
And, the internet may be the best way to secure your financial future. It’s a cliché, but working a 9-5 job with one company and raising a family is rare these days. Technology is about to undo everything we know about the traditional economy.
Experts predict things such as automation, 3D printing, job specific artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving have the ability to eliminate half of all jobs by the end of the next decade.
That's not a long time.
Society and business trends keep moving in the direction of outsourcing, and software automation. Employers are no longer limited to local job seekers. They can hire, contract, communicate and monitor talented people from all over the world.
Likewise, consumers are no longer dependent on local businesses. The dramatic rise of online shopping is changing commerce and leading to consequences we don’t yet fully understand.
People are no longer content to give the best hours (of the best years) of their life to companies that don’t appreciate them.
The Good News
Although technology is changing the employment landscape in challenging ways, it’s also giving us the ability to build a life of independence. It’s leveling the playing field, giving individuals a voice, as well as the tools and resources to create a business they can call their own. To escape the rat-race, and take control of their future.
