Sacrificing Holidays for Success?
Happy Holidays to everyone! I am enjoying this Christmas in my office in Miami and will be here for at least 10 hours. I view this as another day to get another deal. My family has already written me off as crazy, however my belief is I'm in a relationship with my goals, dreams, and self and right now I refuse to cheat on that relationship with anything or anyone (even holidays.)
I personally know 12 of my brothers fighting a war over seas right now for our freedom, and believe that a 10 hour Christmas Day in the office is NOTHING. I view the holidays as a chance to get a head when everyone else is taking sometime off, however; I can't be the only one.. Can I?

Thing is...your loved ones won't always be here. Properties will be.
I know I'm on BP for a bit, too--but I'm home with hubby and will be seeing our son's family later today. Don't lose track of what can be replaced and what never can be.
Happy Holidays!
