I just came up the road from Carson City, and there it was... Lake Tahoe.
I'm here for a week to visit with old friends from Fresno. Good people I've known a long time. I'm looking forward to good food, long talks, and more than a few laughs about the old days.
I recorded the drive in so you could ride along with me.
Some Friends Are Worth the Drive
When we left California and moved to Illinois to be near our daughter, her husband and our grandson, I left a lot of good people behind. You don't stop caring about folks just because there are a couple thousand miles between you.
So when the chance came to spend a whole week with these friends, I said yes.
A Week Away Used to Be Hard to Imagine
Anybody who has farmed knows the crop doesn't take a week off just because you did. My brother and I ran a commercial ag-spraying business for over 20 years. When the crops needed us, we went. The calendar belonged to the weather and the season, not to us.
That's just how that kind of work goes. If you stop showing up, the work stops too.
My Business Keeps Working While I'm Away
Here's what's different now. My business continues to work even though I'm on vacation.
About five years ago, an email about the 30-Minute Workday showed up in my inbox. I opened it, and I've been with The Home Business Academy ever since. I was looking for something to do in retirement. I did not want to sit and watch television all day. HBA was an answer to a prayer.
The system is set up so it keeps doing its job whether I'm at my desk in Illinois or sitting by the lake with friends from Fresno. A good farmer plants in season and lets the ground do some of the work. A good system is a lot like that.
That means I can give these friends my full attention this week. No rushing back to the computer. No worrying about what I'm missing.
If you'd like to see the system I use, you can take a look at it here. I earn a commission if you join through my link; your price doesn't change.
I'll share more from the lake this week.
Just keep moving forward!
Bill
P.S. Is there an old friend you haven't called in a while? This might be a good week to pick up the phone.
