Last week I read a funny article about some funny vacation fails. Well, maybe they’re funny in hindsight. But at the time they happened, maybe they weren’t so funny. And since we’re getting close to that time of year when lots of families go on vacations…
I’ll share a few snippets from those vacation fails.
How about this story of sky high horror?
“The first time we flew with all three kids was a disaster. About an hour into the flight, my oldest starts complaining that she doesn’t feel well. Out of nowhere, my middle [child] projectile vomits all over the place. There are no baggies in the seat pocket. I’m cleaning her up and my oldest starts vomiting. The flight attendant brings a ton of wet napkins so I’m able to clean everyone up. I ask my middle how she is doing, and she vomits again — directly into my face.
“When we landed, the flight attendants asked everyone to stay seated so ‘the children who are sick’ could get off the plane first … When my mother-in-law asked how the flight went, I burst into tears.”
I have three kids, so I could relate to that poor woman’s story. Thankfully it never happened to me.
Now imagine going through this blood-sucking ordeal…
“My parents took us to Florida one year to visit Cape Canaveral. Driving past a highway pullover titled ‘Mosquito Lagoon,’ my dad decided to pull over. Not so wise. Mosquito Lagoon was given that name for a reason. Five minutes into the boardwalk through the swamp, my sister and I were so bitten up, we ran back to the car screaming. When we finally made it into the car, we had to kill all the mosquitoes that had followed us inside. Summer vacation fail.”
Yuck. I started itching just reading that one.
Then, there was this absent-minded mess that another lady shared…
“Last year I wrote the wrong dates in my calendar and the hotel called and asked where we were because we missed the first three days of a prepaid vacation.”
Ouch. Has that ever happened to you? I hope not. And her memory leads me to something I talk a lot about in the RondaReady System. Your recovery calendar. It’s a big part of helping you cope with the challenges and stress of being a business owner or entrepreneur.
I’ll never forget how one of my clients told me the recovery calendar I helped her set up “has been a lifesaver.” She said she just never sat down and planned time off before. So, she never took time off.
And I think that’s worse than any of those other vacation fails.
So, I included a recovery calendar section, to help you avoid it, into a proven System for you. And that System has helped scores of businesses go from 5 to 6 figures and 6 to 7 figures.
And that beats projectile vomit, mosquitos, and lost vacations any day of the week.
My free emails show you how and where to get the RondaReady System. So, you should get them and find out. If you’re already a subscriber, you already know. And you know I want to help you Get Ready, and…
Stay Ready,
