Frugality Tip: Theme Park Savings From Margo

Visiting a theme park or the like can end up costing an arm and a leg. You are allowed to bring snacks and one sealed bottle of water per person just about everywhere. I carry a backpack and snacks and bring a cold bottle of water. I also bring an empty thermal water bottle to transfer the cold water to, so it stays cold. Also carrying a reusable water containment device allows you to refill it at any water machine. In parks that have the freestyle machines that only works with a specific cup, the water will always come out even if you do not have the special expensive cup.

So to save quite a few dollars, grab a backpack and some snacks and hit the parks.

Happy Savings y'all

Confession - I am TERRIBLE with time awareness. Even though I am known as a time Nazi who keeps events on schedule. How can these two things happen together

Why then, am I usually not only on time to things but a little early? Because I have been time hurt. It's that simple.

Are you chronically behind? In the habit of sending texts to people that you are going to need another five minutes? Or fifteen? Do you constantly explain to people why you didn't make it on time?

If so, then today is for you. Today might be hard to hear. But do you want to build success in your life? Then bear with me as we break this down.

Eric's Meeting Story

But the core issue is bigger. It is the GREAT LIE. "I'm late because my sheep got out and I had to chase them back in." is MAYBE a reason, MAYBE true, but is not the whole picture is it?

When you are willing to step back and see the whole picture, we often find that the reason something caused us to "be late" is less to do about the thing that happened and more to do with us.

One of the most powerful words in the English language is NO. One of the things business owners need to learn to say most often is NO. In fact, if you are running your family schedule, or even still at a JOB, the word NO is how you start being on time more often.

Why?

Because NO is the way that you build time into your schedule to properly handle things, build in a travel buffer, have mostly interruption free meetings, and, generally, start being on time.
