Just a week ago, I drove down to South Carolina to spend a few days helping my Mum settle in to her new home near Myrtle Beach -- well, that and drive her four pets down with me (here's a picture of Mini).
The original plan was for me to leave last Tuesday for the 900-mile trek home (gotta love audiobooks and recorded teleseminars!), but Mum still needed a few things to feel at home.
No biggie...call the hubby and let him know I'll be driving home on Saturday (today).
My clients may know I'm here based on my tweets and Facebook posts, but otherwise have no idea, nor do they need to.
Then one of Mum's mini pinschers, Mini, got sick. I found a vet and took her in. It seems she's eaten something toxic and we're currently in a wait-and-see mode and giving her a combo of meds.
For obvious reasons, I didn't want to leave Mum without family in the area when we're not sure what's going to happen.
Once again, I called the hubby and told him that Mini goes back to the vet on Wednesday and I'll be leaving on Thursday.
A quick email to my Team and we're all set.
Can you imagine if I had a regular 9-to-5pm job?
For me, this is what a lifestyle business truly is -- being there for my family and friends when needed, the extra vacations are just a bonus. :-)
Isn't this reason enough to be sure YOU'RE business is a success?
