If you know me, or if you’ve connected with me for a while, you probably know I like hot weather. Yeah, the cold weather we get, here in Colorado, might be nice for a hot beverage around a cozy fire time. But give me the hot weather any time. So much so, that when I go on vacation, this summer, I’m going where it’s even hotter than here. And it’s mighty hot here today. But I won the Lifesaver Award for 2021. And my prize is a Caribbean trip.
“What?” you ask. “Lifesaver Award? Who hands that out?”
Well, thanks for asking. And I actually gave this award to myself. Because I put in the time to make the time so I could take the time to vacate the routine and hit the beach.
Are you with me so far?
If you have a regular job, your employer probably tells you how many weeks you get for vacation. And you jot it down on your calendar, of course. Because, well…it’s paid time off. You gotta use it or you lose it. Right?
Or are you self-employed? And one of the main reasons you went out on your own was to be able to work WHEN you wanted. And HOW you wanted. Right?
But then, you discovered there’s a whole lot more to building a business than sitting on the beach with a laptop? (which I won’t be doing because I don’t vacay that way) Yeah, maybe you found out you’d have to wear more hats than you originally thought. That’s the time I describe as, “when the dreamy eyes turn into reality eyes.”
But it doesn’t have to happen that way. In fact, the right system can help save you from drowning in a sea of to-do lists and day-to-day duties.
I remember a client who told me her recovery calendar (something I help you set up in the RondaReady System) “has been a lifesaver.” Prior to us working together, she just never sat down and planned time off. So, she never took time off.
Weird how often that happens.
And now, with her recovery calendar, she plans (and schedules) her time off. Then, she knows, ahead of time, when she (and her family) get to relax.
If you’d like to be the next recipient of the Lifesaver Award, it could be totally in your hands. It comes down to choice. Choose to keep doing what you’re doing and see if days off happen the way you’d like. Or choose to start writing it down so you can keep track. It’s up to you.
Not sure? Well, I know that the second choice works. Because I’ll be on a beach with my family real soon. And that happened on purpose. If you’d like something like that, get my RondaReady System. And get to work, soon. So, this time next year, you can tell me about your time off. Grab the System at that link below.
Stay Ready,
