TRAVEL TIPS ”Ten Essential Items for Your Next Cruise!” Most of us learn the hard way...and still forget to pack that elusive item for our next trip. After all of my travels, mostly cruises and a smattering of hotels, Ive learned to keep these ten essential items pre-packed, ready to toss into whatever suitcase I plan to take. 1. A flashlight. Seems kind of obvious...for when the lights go out. Power failure. Looking behind furniture for that earring that fell. I never travel without one...many phones now come equipped! 2. Cute little foam ear plugs. Yes, they work. Whether your roommate is a snorer or your neighbors are tossing about all night or even a drippy shower, these things really muffle the sounds. 3. Zip-lock bags. A zillion uses are possible; for packing a piece of fruit for your day trip/shore excursion, safe storage for that gorgeous new silk scarf, accumulation of bar coasters (so you can remember what beer you tried) and business cards, those pesky little amenity bottles, shells collected at that remote beach. You just never know. 4. Thermos bottle. Dont go on a trip without one. 5. EXTRA AA / AAA batteries. This is so obvious, but so easy to overlook. Not everything is rechargeable. I also suggest bringing a spare camera battery, too. 6. Portable battery charger for your iPhone. There are several of these on the market...and I never travel without one. 7. Extra SD cards and at least an 8 GB flash drive. I could write a book about this idea. In many countries, its nearly impossible to find a brand name SD card. Which brings me to my next must-do: every night, back up your photos in at least one other place. 8. Dont forget small packets of clothes detergent (Tide and Woolite make small packets, but put them into a Zip-Lock bag!) Corporate Update We are working on making the Webinar platform visible via all mobile devices. Also, diligent designing of the new products and Comp Plan is underway. It feels like one big construction zone around corporate, but everyone is anxiously anticipating our new launch. Our Cha-CHING partner is changing cruise feed providers so we are implementing a new cruise planning link in the Booking Engine shortly. If you are interested in booking a cruise in the interim, please contact reservations@myfunlife and our in-house travel agents will assist you. Congratulations to the Fall Promo WINNER, John May! Our next Promo will be announced shortly. TRAINING Be The Owner! I’ve written before that one of the keys to feeling and being wealthy is do something that you love and that you would do regardless of the compensation. Now, I can’t prove the following statements, but I believe them to be true: Working for yourself, in a business you founded, makes it much more likely that you’ll do something you love. Working for someone else, for a salary, makes it much more likely that you’ll be asked to come in on Saturdays to work, or during that once-in-a lifetime recital! It weird to say this, but it’s true: Doing the reports for your own business doesn’t feel that bad. Even on Saturdays, it’s kinda fun. In life, there’s no getting away from work on Saturdays, there’s only a choice about how it will feel. One of my main arguments for starting your own business is that it feels different! You’re in control of your mood, your income, your destiny! And now for some less important, but still relevant, arguments in favor of entrepreneurship. Taxes The tax code was written by and for business owners, not by or for salaried employees. So if you’re ever curious why taxes for salaried employees seem unfair, whereas businesses seem to pay less in taxes, that’s why. Retirement Did you know you can save about 3 times more per year in tax-advantaged retirement accounts if you’re a business owner than you can as a white-collar employee earning a salary, with a 401K plan? It’s true. More importantly, many successful business people want to control the timing and conditions of their own retirement, on their own terms. Not everyone wants to work forever, but for those people who do, business ownership gives you the control and options.
