I Mixed Them Together…And It Worked!

Mixing Together.

No, I’m not talking about a new surf and turf recipe in a crockpot, even though planning a new crockpot recipe sounds pretty perfect right now (snow is predicted yet again – this time in APRIL??!), but I am talking about business and pleasure.

More often than not, you hear NOT to mix the two. And yes, on some occasions it’s best to keep them separate, but in my case, I’m talking about travel.

As I write this, I’m sitting in the airport in California, where I’ve been for the past few days visiting my daughter.

It was a fantastic visit with my family, but I also made time for business meetings and networking.

In both February and March, I made a few trips to Houston, TX. I worked with business connections in the area, met with potential clients, and had time to visit with my father and brother.

Business travel doesn’t JUST have to be business, it can include visiting family, meeting up with friends, taking a scenic tour, staying in a new city, you name it.

If you plan around the pleasure, business tends to find a way to fit right in!

Last week, I went to the Phillies Home Opener, which they lost unfortunately. I went with a business colleague of mine who has contacts that may need my services. I’m a big Phillies fan and I loved combining one of my passions with business.

What are your services? How can you combine business and pleasure?

Stress Awareness.

April is Stress Awareness Month and it’s something we all need to examine in our lives. If you’re feeling overstressed, this might be the perfect time to plan that trip you’ve been dreaming of taking. Figure out a way to get a few business meetings on the agenda and you’ll return with a new attitude, motivation and feeling relaxed and reenergized.

On another note…tax time is over. Yes!!

If you haven’t filed yet, make sure you get an extension and talk to your accountant immediately about your options.

If Your Did File:

  • Was it difficult?
  • Did you find your data a little less than organized?
  • Where were your biggest challenges?
  • Did your numbers surprise you in a negative way?

Tax time should be easy if you’ve got the right information and the accurate data in hand. If you’ve been struggling to do this on your own, STOP. I would love to help.

Just schedule a no-obligation chat with me and let’s talk about the above bullets. I can take some of this number stuff off your plate, so you can focus on planning that next trip and mixing up a little business and pleasure of your own.

Until next month!
