Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.

☝️There is always room to improve ourselves.

🙎‍♀️My colleague, a single mum of 2 who I work with in business has the experience and expertise of learning our craft for 10 years.

🙃She has learnt small things everyday and accumulated skills and how to provide value that has seen her income go from $30,000 to $800,000 per year.

☝️Something that's really cool is when on a training call she will always take one little nugget from the training, learn it and implement it into her business.

🤜🤛This is a great tip that just shows you that there is no need to become complacent. One little nugget of info can propel baby!!!!

Just inspiring! Learn it, action it and reap.

Wishing you all the best in your businesses over the holidays.
