"Need a Break? Learn How Regular “Break-ations” Can
Help You Build Your Online Business Faster"
 As
an affiliate marketer, you work for yourself and
one of the countless benefits this lifestyle
holds is that you can take vacations, or as
James and Arlene call them, “break-ations,” any
time you want.
You can work remotely,
stay on top of your online publishing business from anywhere there is
Internet access, and enjoy downtime with family and friends. And, as
listeners to this fun, informative Coffee Talk are about to learn, even
long-weekend “break-ations” leave you refreshed, revived and ready to hit
the ground running when you return, making them an absolute necessity.
Of course, you can follow
the Martell's lead and “book-end” any industry conference (such as CJU or
Affiliate Summit) and stay in fantastic cities a few days before or after
these events, and take advantage of great conference rates and the tax
write-offs.
 As the Martell's have
learned, in preparing for their own “break-ations,” be it long weekends or
one or two full weeks away, they can handle a larger workload and even the
day-to-day stresses better when they know a “break-ation” is around the
corner.
For them, this includes
relying on a whiteboard where they add everything thing they need to get
done before they leave. “Checking those tasks off is so rewarding,” Arlene
explains.
Then, when they return,
they find they feel better and can jump back in with renewed energy and a
fresh perspective.
But, with four children,
travel can be very expensive and as most listeners already know, James and
Arlene work together and prefer to do their travel as a family. In fact,
it’s one of the reasons James started his at-home business.
In this Coffee Talk,
Arlene, who is responsible for planning and booking the family
“break-ations,” shares her resources and personal tips for saving time on
airfare and accommodations and tells of her infamous $20 trick that once
landed the couple a $600-per-night room.
You will also learn more
about some of the Martell’s favorite “break-ations,” including a Caribbean
cruise that brought the entire family a huge surprise: a visit to the film
set of Pirates of the Caribbean II.
Hear all about what it
took to get Arlene involved in James’ affiliate business (just imagine
writing 500 articles) and how the “break-ations” have enriched their
relationship, their lives, their children’s lives and even their business.
As an affiliate marketer,
you work hard, so make time to play just as hard. You’ve earned it and the
Martell's show you how.
It’s all about
“break-ations” and everything you need to know to take your first
“break-ation” is right here – from the motivation needed to get you out the
door to how to find the very best deals, this husband-wife team share it
all, including the story behind Arlene showing at a conference event in a
fluffy white robe (with other robe-clad wives in tow).
