Did it take you 20 minutes to do a 2-minute task this past week? (Did that happen a few times? )

Your December holiday was four distant months ago, and even if you had a winter break vacation, you might be running on fumes now.

The mere act of planning and booking a vacation can pump you up. Having something fun to look forward to doesn’t just lift the soul; it motivates you to keep selling hard. With all due respect to the 900 million canines alive in the world, you work like a dog. You deserve many vacations throughout the year. Don’t make this year’s vacation a default…as in, "…we always go to Lake Somuchfun, so we’re going again this year."

Sure, go there, but also make it a reality to visit that place you’ve always wanted to go to this summer.

Is it Japan?

The Pyramids of Giza?

What about N’awlins in the dead of summer, highlighted by a midnight swamp tour with a rollicking zydeco band?

This weekend, book a different summer trip. The sooner it’s on the books, the better."

Watch this insipid – yet outstandingly fun 10-second summer vacation parlor trick to get you in the mood for your big weekend of planning and shopping.

Quote of the day
