Buckle up - these past two weeks have been nothing short of EXTRAORDINARY, and I can't wait to fill you in on all the fabulous details!First, I had the electrifying experience of co-presenting on my 10th biz anniversary with Speaker Hall of Famer Crystal Washington at the National Speaker Association Influence conference. We discussed Super-Sexy Speaker Systems: Scale Your Business and Free Up Time! Let me tell you, the room was BUZZING! Hearing people state what "sexy action" they would take to automate was so. much. fun. The best part? Crystal takes ALL OF DECEMBER OFF (including email!), and if you know me, you know I love unplugged vacations. Speaking of unplugged, I dared to go entirely off the grid for seven whole days - no email, no phone, no text. YES, TEXT! You're probably thinking, "Marcey, how did you manage that?" Well, let me tell you about my clever little hack using the Driving mode on my iPhone. I changed the autoresponder to say I was on vacation and not checking messages. While it was a little inconvenient having to reset it each time I opened my phone, it was worth every blissful, distraction-free moment with my husband. And where were we, you might ask? The enchanting French Quarter, where we celebrated our 25th anniversary in style! Kevin stole my heart all over again with a song written just for me. It was a symphony of joy between the charming city sights, the WWII museum, and crazy, incredible jazz. Then, Portland called, and I answered with enthusiasm (LOVE PORTLAND)! We met Peter, the coolest 86-year-old clay artist, who made lawn gnomes in our likeness (drumsticks for Kevin, a microphone for me!). And you won't believe this - we took a virtual reality tour of Versailles! I felt like I might fall off a balcony; it was that real. The adventures didn't stop there! I presented to the National Society of Accountants for Cooperatives on Time Power-Ups, and they already want more. I think I'll need my own power-up after all this excitement! This week was all business, with several proposals going out for former, current, and new opportunities. Remote work and time guardrails are hot topics, and I'm right in the thick of it. When you get this, I'll be chit-chatting with my direct primary care doc while power walking around Shelley Lake, then sipping coffee with Becky Sansbury of RaderCo, and later treating myself to Marcey's famous Crispy Brussels Sprouts at Mookie's New York Deli. On with the Weekender! p.s. Want to know what RaderCo and Marcey choose as their top services, products, and tools? Check out our RaderCo Recommends page! |
