Asked & Answered: I refer to
it as Entrepreneurial Approach to a New Life
A friend of mine that I have talked with for several years
and she has been working in her own business along with working in a company
doing a job for them. A lot of us
refer to as a job but there is much more to what she is doing than a job. A job
is actually what we do, not who we are.
She is a wife and a mother but those roles require much more than full
time hours. When we are working in
a company doing that full-time, it has a cap of usually forty hours or in some
countries that would be forty-four hours per week more or some times less.

For this A&A we are talking with Kari and she is going
to share some things about her and the works she has on going and remember
everything is a work. But lets
talk about that another time.
Me: Thank you Kari for joining me for the
first time on doing an A&A. You have been so helpful when I have questions
about how-to blog and answered other things about blogspot, wordpress, and
websites.
When I had shared with her my idea of doing the A&A with
her and she surprised me by writing to me right away in FB (Facebook), here is
her response below.

hi
Christopher, thanks for doing the A&A, I've included the info for it and
the URL below from our Facebook conversation:
I started
doing "Disney" when my Dad was ill, because honestly, it brought me
joy.
It brought
me joy because Disney World, Disneyland - every "Disney Destination"
is designed, executed by a team of people who really care - about families
making life long experiences.
It's ALWAYS
clean, ALWAYS friendly, ALWAYS light hearted and fun.
I wanted to
share that joy, with other families and help them through the often-confusing
process of planning a vacation at Walt Disney World. With 4 parks, 2 water
parks, multiple resorts, attractions, events - and the 17th largest
transportation system in the country, it's important to 'have a plan' when
visiting - that's where I come in. For guests who let me book their Magical
vacation - I will provide them with an itinerary. It's a great part time job,
or side job, because I get to 'live vicariously' through my friends and family
and referrals when THEY visit Disney, just by planning for them and looking at
their pictures. It's win win!
I'm most
looking forward to participating in Star Wars Weekends someday. (in June, at
Walt Disney World)
What I do
is have access to Disney booking. My job primarily is to provide an itinerary
for guests at Disney Destinations; my commission is for the booking. My service
is complimentary.
But yes, eventually - when I retire, the plan is to do
nothing but Disney
When are
you retiring?
Hopefully
by 60!
That's; the
goal anyway.
And then I
can spend vacations at Disney, with my kids and grandkids. It's about sharing
Disney Magic with my family and friends.
Warmly,
Kari

Well
I can't give out any names, obviously - and truth be told - I've been my own
biggest client! I love the idea of taking my son to Disney while he's still
young to make life long memories. Or maybe, that's an excuse to squeeze in as
many Disney trips as possible for myself! As far as guests that I've
booked - one stands out: a single father took his daughter for her birthday. His
daughter is nine, and he is a spectacular hair stylist in Dallas. He wanted to
do something special for his daughter - who loves nature, the arts and music -
they stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom lodge and had a ball - especially at
Epcot World Showcase!
Me: Do you have any
books and movies that have inspired you?
Kari:
My
favorite books are the Chronicles of Narnia - I have read all 7 books numerous
times and when I start to feel 'lost' or need a little boost - I re-read these
books. I am a child at heart and love youth fantasy, but these books are
really special.
Me: What URLs do you have for those
businesses you do?
