Business
Last week I had the opportunity to go to dinner with several friends and other jewels in the Central Arkansas area. We went to my favorite restaurant and it was so great to get to visit! The conversation turned to what we did before our current occupation in network marketing. One of my friends Kim was saying that she still works some for hospice because she was a nurse before and even though she doesn’t need that income anymore she loves nursing and it’s important to her to be involved still. Another friend Sunnie, talked about how she used to be a social worker, and now she still teaches it because she loves working in that profession. And Carissa spoke about how she always food blogged and how much she loves sharing nutrition and keto information. It made me so happy to hear about that no matter what level of success is reached that they didn’t forget where they came from and what they really, really enjoyed doing. My husband was out of town for a week, and I felt SO busy most of the time. But on Saturday I didn’t have any plans, and I found myself planning a whole vacation! I LOVE traveling and planning trips and exploring new places. And that’s something I’m really passionate about! When I was thinking about what I was going to record the podcast this week it dawned on me that we should be exploring and still using these gifts that we love! When Rob and I were newlyweds we didn’t really know each other travel style. On vacations, I’m a go go go, person. I want to see all the things! And Rob is so much more relaxed. Back in the day, we didn’t have a huge income but I did travel a lot for my job and was able to use the points to travel on our own. Back then, I planned vacations as we may never go back again. We went to the North East US and listen to everything we packed into our trip… in one week. We flew into Baltimore, then went to DC, then NYC, went to Boston, and went to a Patriots game, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine. And we hit ALLL the spots. I would research everything obsessively. I had a folder with all of our flights, tickets, reservations etc. When we had dinner it reminded me how life-giving it is for me to plan vacations. My next dream trip is Iceland! I’ve got so many ideas and plans for when we can travel there! I know that so many of you are entrepreneurs and you are working so hard!! And I am SO proud of you! I”m a proponent of working hard, but also PLAYING HARD! Don’t lose your first love!!
