YOUR VACATIONS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
Scott and Adrea Reynolds and their four kids headed to Park City, Utah. While in the resort town, one of their kids’ favorite activities was drawing mystery envelopes — and having to prepare a meal for the entire family on the dollar amount inside (which ranged from $10 to $30).
More than just a cooking activity, this was a fun Financial Dimension experience in learning how to stretch dollars (especially in a time of high food prices!). As a side note, the owner of Nosh restaurant — who noticed the envelope activity — was so impressed, she contributed a large bag of pancake mix to the enterprise, which the kids used for the next day’s breakfast (pancakes) and lunch (biscuits and gravy).
Emron and Harmony Andrew and their three children treated Harmony’s mother (now in her late 80s) to her first-ever cruise. The Caribbean islands became the setting for strengthening the family’s Foundational Dimension, with time to learn more about their grandmother’s life and make memories they’ll always cherish.
Aaron and Heather Andrew took their two girls to Great Britain — a first for the entire family to cross the Atlantic. The Intellectual Dimension came to life for their teenagers as the family explored the nation’s rich culture, architecture, and history. They also carved out time to work through the 10 Relationship BREAKthroughs tool, setting goals to strengthen key Foundational Dimension relationships.
Sharee and Mailee Andrew stole away to Sedona, Ariz., where the mother-daughter duo delved into art classes. Expanding their talents and deepening their bond were just some of the Foundational Dimension perks of the trip.
Doug Andrew joined their youngest daughter Ashley, her husband, Justin, and their three children in Lake Powell, where one of the highlights was their traditional foil dinners on the beach. Doug also treated one of the grandkids, James, to a special one-on-one outing for an outdoor Piano Guys concert, expanding their Foundational Dimension together.
More Than a Vacation
These getaways are among the recent Family Retreats With a Purpose taken by 3 Dimensional Wealth and LASER Financial team members.
If the term is new to you, Family Retreats With a Purpose are essentially family vacations with a twist — you add intentional, expansive 3 Dimensional Wealth experiences to the itinerary.
Going beyond merely encouraging team members to plan Family Retreats With a Purpose, Emron recently developed a plan to incentivize the entire company to make retreats happen for their families.
Bon Voyage Bonus
Here’s how it worked: Toward the end of 2024, Doug taught the group about the Family Retreat With a Purpose approach. Each team member was challenged to meet with their families, fill out a Family Retreat With a Purpose Planner, and schedule their getaway between January and June 2025. After returning, they would also be asked to share their experience with the team.
Everyone who met the requirements was given a net $1500 bonus to apply toward their getaway. Needless to say, the program was incredibly well-received, with team members enjoying everything from local staycations to far-flung adventures.
“I’m not a fan of people accruing weeks and weeks of PTO, only to cash them in before retirement. I think the goal of PTO should be to take time to regenerate, rejuvenate, and spend time with your loved ones,” said Emron. “We saw this as an opportunity to offer our employees PTO on steroids, and it’s been rewarding to hear how much all the families loved their time together.”
Wherever your family heads next, we likewise encourage you to make it an even better experience by adding values-based activities to the mix!
