How Will You Spend 525,600 Minutes?



There’s a song called Seasons of Love in the Broadway musical RENT. It reminds us that at the end of a year all we really have are our cherished memories with family and friends. There are 525,600 minutes in a year. 525,600 moments to share, experience, explore, discover and love.

If you’ve never heard Seasons of Love, or it’s been a long time since you’ve listened to it, we invite you to watch and listen to a YouTube video of it. It’s not meant to be a holiday song. But perhaps it is.

Shut your office door. Let the kids play in the other room. Mute the game. Take three of your 525,600 moments to watch, sing along with the lyrics….or simply shut your eyes and listen. You’ll understand what we mean in just a bit.

 
Give The Gift Of Experience, Exploration And Memories
This holiday season choose a gift that offers a once-in-a-life time opportunity to explore a passion, follow a dream, experience that “path not taken” and may be provide the catalyst to change a life.

A VocationVacation can be the perfect gift to give your significant other who is simply “stuck” and burned out on the job…or to your best friend who’s had a tough year after being laid-off…or to a parent giving them the opportunity to try something they always wanted to do or even pursue a possible “encore” or “second act” career.

If you and family or friends are looking to “go in” on a gift together for someone, a VocationVacation or VocationVacations gift certificates are perfect!

Top 10 Gifts
We often get asked, “What is the most popular VocationVacation?” The answer? There isn’t just one. But out of the nearly 180 types of career mentorships we offer, here are the Top 10 VocationVacations given as gifts….(Click on each career type to see the variety of mentors and locations!)
If you didn’t catch our last newsletter, you might like to read about how the gift of a coffee house owner VocationVacations career mentorship changed Tesia Williams’ life this past year…

Tesia, a successful public affairs professional in Washington, DC, received a special Christmas present from her boyfriend last year. He remembered Tesia telling him about an article on VocationVacations she had read in Entrepreneur Magazine, and how she was intrigued with the idea of test-driving her dream job. Since Tesia was quite interested in opening a coffee house, he felt a VocationVacation would be the perfect gift to give Tesia some hands-on experience to help her decide if or when she would proceed.
