Every day a Vacation??

We just got back from a week vacation in Hawaii.  I checked in on my business a couple times a day, probably for a total of one hour per day.  I also posted a lot of what we were doing on social media (which is part of being authentically you which draws people like you to you and your business).  I got a lot of comments like "why are you checking emails on vacation?" or "Don't work, you are on vacation"  And my response to them was, not only do I love what I do, and it doesn't really feel like work, but working just an hour a day while on vacation allows me to take more vacations, and be home with my kids, and be my own boss. I didn't have to do any of that - I have no one telling me what to do or expecting anything from me. So I worked when I wanted to, when I could, without taking time away from my family.  (and when we had free WiFi - ha ha)

It's part of my whole philosophy (which many share) of designing your own life. I love that I can work from anywhere, on my smart phone. I love that while on vacation I got a great paycheck even though I did the "minimum" work required.  I have another trip planned next week for a seminar I have been really excited about, and I plan to work some on breaks, because it's exciting and my business is growing, and like any momentum, you don't want to stop it while going. But it's not because I have to, and it's not a burden. If you want to be successful, you make the time, and you want to do the things that will make you successful.

So while many people take a vacation to escape from their lives, ours was to create memories and enjoy our lives!!
