Episode 563: How I Used My Business to Pay for Our Hawaii Vacation (and All the Specifics So You Can Do It Too)
Aug 25, 2025
In this week's pep talk, I share exactly how our business paid for a 10-day Hawaii vacation (yes, including flights + hotel), using a combination of travel savings and credit card points.
In today's episode, I share:
- The 5% monthly travel fund strategy we use—no matter where we’re going
- How we pivoted from Maine to Hawaii just 6 weeks before leaving (because our points went further!)
- The exact cards we used, how we combined points, and why we never redeem them for anything but travel
- How asking for an upgrade scored us a beachfront room + free breakfast
- My “sandwich strategy” for saving on food without skipping the good stuff
- Tour + activity tips (and one I’d skip next time)
- How we ran our Holly-Days promo while on vacation—adding an extra five figures in revenue without daily posting
