Time Away is Time Well
Get outta town.
If the economy has you down, if you’re severely challenged by your design business , if you’re burnt out, get outta town.
If you’re uncertain where to go from here, go there.
“There” can be a mountain resort, or a sandy beach, or a nice town a few hours away.
Get away for a few weeks, a few days, or a even a few hours. Just…get outta of town.
Nothing can give you more clarity about your business than time away from your business.
That means time away from your cellphone and email and blackberry and every other link to your workaday world.
A recent vacation in the Midwest reminded me how renewing and energizing time away can be.
I was so busy enjoying myself at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Macinac Island in Michigan, and jazz clubs in Chicago that I didn’t have much time to think about business.
Nevertheless, I came back filled with fresh perspectives and exciting ideas about my speaking and coaching business.
And I returned with solutions to some challenges which had perplexed me for some time.
Time away is great for your mind, body and soul. And it’s great for your business, too.
