Get Your Free Vacation Here! By Kristi Sayles Chances are most of us have had the dream about owning our own business, running it out of our homes and being the boss. We've also longed for the potential perks that go along with that dream, such as financial independence, time freedom, material purchases and traveling. Mike Atkinson is one person who had the home business bug and came up with a unique way to combine that dream with one of the perks-travel. For his home-based business, he gives away free vacations, fulfilling dreams of sunny beaches and clear water for a living. And he sure does enjoy this business of free vacations. "I help businesses get more people to join [their opportunity] by giving away free vacations as promotions," Mike explains. Mike has had a good year, with expectations to earn at least $255,000 from his business, Holiday Enterprises, located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. According to him, it would have been a great deal more, but he had been off for six months due to circumstances beyond his control. So he really achieved at least $255,000 in six months. And he says that business is booming. Before Holiday Enterprises became his money magnet, Mike had a pretty typical job. "I worked in a furniture factory. I set up machines to let people run them," he says, unenthusiastically. "You see," he continues, "I got tired of making my boss all that money. So, I just did something about it." That's when Mike decided to start his own business. He knew he had the talent to create a business that could beat the odds, but, first, he had to think of an idea for a moneymaker. Then he had to create a system which he could enjoy waiting up to each day. He realized that he had to start a business that would not only generate cash but one in which he was proud to be the founder. He experimented with a few ideas, until he eventually came up with a way to help promote businesses by giving people something that they really want: relaxation. People want to get away from the daily stresses in their lives, and for some this means checking out the glitter and glitz of the casinos of Las Vegas. For others, it means a quiet retreat in the mountains where they can play golf or visit quaint shops. Mike established a business that supplies all these needs through vacation certificates that pay for three days and two nights hotel stays for two people. The average rate of the hotels Mike provides for his guests costs about $100 per night, but his guests stay free. Hotels all over the country participate with Mike because they lose money when rooms are empty. Mike says that they are hoping to get repeat business once the vacationers see how nice the rooms are. That repeat business is the key to this successful business. Mike started the business when he was a relatively young man and is very glad he did because it took a lot of time and hard work to reap the rewards. He knew he had the talent to make his small business work, and though it wasn't always easy or even profitable, all of Mike's efforts paid off when Holiday Enterprises finally started getting the kind of recognition that it deserved. Through all of his hard work and determination Mike finally found a formula for success. He was able to put it into action and realize his dreams, and now he wants to share the secrets he's learned. "All businesses need to generate traffic, boost sales, and increase referral business. To do this, business owners must offer valuable incentives to their prospective customers to take a particular ACTION! With low cost and high value, you are guaranteed to increase your sales and have happy customers," he explains. "Giving your customers free vacations is guaranteed to increase leads or sales for your business," Mike continues. "Merchants, network marketing companies, home-based businesses or anyone selling a product or service can TRIPLE leads and sales by offering customers two free nights at a major hotel or casino in Las Vegas or 20 other resort cities. Their cost to give away such a vacation is as little as $1.00 each. They can get thousands of visitors to their business or website with this fantastic offer." Mike credits the Internet with a great deal of his success. He has a website that does the advertising for him. Now business people can go to his website and order the vacation certificates for their customers within a matter of minutes. According to Mike, he sees so many re-orders once businesses see how easy it is to get people interested in listening to you if you give them something free. "Free is a powerful word when it comes to-advertising," says Mike. When he thinks about his own success and what it took to get there, Mike offers advice to others who were once in the same position as he: "All you have to do is to go for something. Go for it and don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. Don't let someone steal your dreams! just go for it and don't look back until you can say 'I did it!"' Now he enjoys his job immensely. He says, "When my company helps people, we put smiles on their faces in the process. That will win people into any company. just give them a free vacation to join your deal and you will have lots of business." Mike Atkinson is a happy entrepreneur; and wants to encourage everyone who has the desire to start a business to give it a try. He believes this is one of the easiest home-based businesses to start.
