I spent the last four days with best friends from Oregon camping at Flagler Beach and playing tour guide in St. Augustine.  Except for the smoke from wild fires, the weather was perfect.

 

My friend, Linda, caught the “beading bug,” and as we were shopping for beads and creating ideas, I suggested she start a small business to sell her creations while traveling around the country in her RV.  From then on, the entire mini-vacation was about developing this new small business.  LBImaginations.net was born while riding the Red Train to the Fountain of Youth.  I think the water we drank there gave us a youthful enthusiasm for taking risks. Our ideas built one upon the other until the entire business plan was constructed and Linda’s “to do” list was full.  It is never too late to be creative, start a business, or take a risk.  Working on a few new ideas for my own bead/crafts business!  

 

My body was resting some on the vacation, but my mind was busy working, planning, thinking, creating, designing, organizing, and developing from sunrise into the wee hours. Getting away from the routine does give me a new perspective and opportunity to think beyond the daily grind. I think it is good business to vacation. Now, however,  I need a vacation from my vacation.
