All Work And No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy.
It’s a statement that rings so true with me at the moment.
I have just returned from a fantastic 2 weeks trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where myself my wife and my son were visiting my brother and his wife.
They have lived out in the USA for 12 years now and with me being in the UK we don’t get to see that much of each other so I was really looking forward to the 2 weeks away.
Being away for 2 weeks I could still update my blog, check on my Facebook and reply to any messages I received.
Well that was the plan until my wife found me packing the laptop the night before we were to leave. Basically I had 2 options, the laptop or my wife and son.
No brainer really, but to be honest I thought how am I going to cope with my laptop for 2 whole weeks.
But to be honest I never thought about it once, no really, I was having way to much fun with the family to think about it which brings me on to my point.
If you are a full time earner with your network marketing business then you have a choice and more importantly an opportunity to spend your time how you wish.
Most people in their lives don’t get that opportunity. They are slaves to the bank manager and their boss.
So I’m glad my wife told me to leave the laptop at home and enjoy a holiday with my family. I have come back feeling fresh and recharged.
It’s shouldn’t be all about work, work, work. It’s about getting that balance between your family and your work. By spending as much time as you can with your family and letting your business take care of itself.

Hi Tristram!
Thanks for inviting me back to your Blog…it's so nice seeing you again.
It is SO COOL when we can 'walk away' from our PC's knowing that business is being taken care of…I'm happy that you enjoyed your family getaway!!
Have a highly inspired day…your tribal friend Steven Suchar

Hi Tristram,
Everybody knows that work can be addictive, and I think this holds true espcially if you can work 24/7. Our bosses used to be kinder to us than we are to ourselves, at least sometimes. Anyway glad that you're on board again. Have a great weekend.
good decision. And congratulations to your wife
Cheers
Oliver
Hi Jerome,
Absolutely, it's always great to get away and can be counter-productive if we don't take time off now and then.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Hi Oliver,
Work can be addictive but by getting away from it all it allows you to come back fresh and ready to go again.
Have a great day.
