Hey everybody, Dan Holstein here
with another Rev Up Your Business video and
today I'm gonna show you how to use just
$20 to get an amazing holiday.
Stick around.
Ok, so what's all this about $20 and
an amazing vacation?
Well first off, where am I right now? Where's Waldo?
Yep! Down under in Sydney Australia at the waterfront
and there's the Opera House in the background there.
The world-famous Sydney Opera House.
So, let's explain this $20 concept.
First of all why don't we
get away for vacations? The experience
that I have with business owners is,
the number one thing is time. They haven't
got enough time to get away. So you want
to go back and watch my video on "How to
Get One Hour a Day back from the business
which is six weeks over the year.
So we'll put a we'll put a card up for that
on here, you can go and check
that one out then come back.
Now, the other excuse I see is:
"I haven't got enough money, can't afford it."
So let's debunk that one right away.
How much does a good vacation cost?
Actually, how much does it cost not to have a good
vacation? You know... the cost of being a
little bit burnt out, and tired, and
frustrated, not fresh.
It's important to get away from time to time.
So let's assume you want to get away.
You haven't had a vacation in a while and
you do want to get away. And a good
vacation, somewhere you would like to go,
and to have a bit of fun - not just to get
there on the cheap - but to go and have
some fun. Let's say it's $5000.
$5000 for a vacation, and maybe
you have to add a little more if you're
taking multiple family members, and
things like that. Let's just say $5000.
Look at how many weeks are in the year,
and how many business days you've got.
It's 250 business days, 50 weeks,
5 days per week. So if we look
at the math on that, that's only $20 per day.
If you were to set it aside,
you'd be able to have a $5000 vacation.
It's easy to do. It's also easy not to do. Right?
We just think "oh it's expensive, I haven't got
the money, so then we have a tendancy just
to kind of let let it go, let it slide, or
maybe get away for a weekend, and tack it
on to a long weekend and try to
justify that we've actually gotten away
for a holiday when really we've just had
like a little mini break. It's important
to be able to disconnect. Just to be able
to get out of the mode of working.
Let your brain just process being
relaxed. And where do all the
good ideas come to us? Well where we're not
expecting it! Like in the shower,
or doing dishes, or on vacation right?
And that's our subconscious saying
"Hey! I'm trying to give you this idea!"
But your conscious mind is too distracted all the time,
so if we don't actually disconnect,
and get away - and even a stay-cation is fine -
but if you want to get away just
really be disconnected, leave your laptop
at home. And then be able just to enjoy yourself,
and enjoy the time away,
enjoy the creative processes of thinking
and being, and not not having to be beholden
to any kind of schedule.
Vacations are fantastic for this.
It's so important that we are able to get away
and enjoy yourselves. So just $20 a day.
It's nice and easy, so what do we need to
do in your business, to get just $20 per
day additional profitability?
Depending on your line of business, it
could be selling one more item,
and a little bit of billable time. It could
be making sure that things are being
delivered on effectively, cleaning up
problem areas, and in Mastery, in terms of
ordering things, while making sure it's
service to delivery on time. We don't
have mistakes, and comebacks, and things
like that. It shouldn't be that difficult.
And I find that often, people looking at
the $5000 - let's say we call it $10,000
which is about $38 per day - I mean
in business, $38 a day? Seriously we
can't get additional $38 of profitability?
Of course we can! Maybe we
just haven't thought about it. We look at
the big $10,000 chunk, and think "that's
really difficult!" They don't have it
at this moment, but these things take time.
We can plan if you want to get away
in one year from now. All you need to do
is set aside - do your budget for your
holiday, and commit to setting that
that amount of money aside every single day.
Depending on your business, that
could be a little more challenging than
others, but I don't think a $5,000 even a
$2,000 holiday would be impossible
if you're saving up for it daily. And how do
we keep this in mind? Remember to make
sure that we're improving our business
just a tiny tiny little bit every day
enough to get us away? First of all
decide where you're gonna go. Put it on your
dream chart! Put it up on the wall,
somewhere to remind yourself of why
you're making the little changes every day.
And to remind you to make those
little changes every day. Get your family
to support you. Get your team members!
They don't want Grumpy-You, they want
Relaxed-You! They want you to get away
once in a while too, so let them help you.
Let them find ways to save money,
or increase your profitability. And keep it
front and centre. And be clear on what
you're gonna do when you're there.
Right now, book your hotel. You usually don't
have to pay for a hotel until you get
there, so if you get it booked in,
that creates little bit of extra space and a
lot of attraction. You're going to attract that,
and be able to go.
So that's it for this week! I'm going to
continue wandering around, and have a
look at the sights, and beautiful Sydney.
And I encourage you to do your vacation budget.
Think about where you want to go,
get some pictures. Cut them out,
print them out, get them up at the wall where
you can see it. And make the commitment
to yourself and your significant other
or family and family whoever, to get away
and recharge, relax, because you deserve it.
And your business will thank you for it
as well as your team and your customers.
So that's it from Sydney! I hope that you
have a fantastic week and look forward to
seeing you sometime soon and hearing
about your vacation plans. Talk to you soon.
