Sometime soon I am going to do something I have not done in years.
Take a family vacation.
That may not seem like such a big deal, but I somehow lost the ability to do that after a parent became ill in 2007.
Oh sure. I have taken days off, but not for real, get out of Dodge, turn off the cell phone, and ditch the lap-top time.
A community of entrepreneurs I am a part of, calls these days "Free Days." Those are defined as 24-hour periods, midnight to midnight, where you are completely disconnected from work.
How will I possibly do it?
By investing some time and energy in delegating to a crack team, and outsourcing some things that need to be done, but are not my unique ability.
AND by planning for a productive week of both revenue generation and business tuning upon my return.
Thinking on this, I realize that to stay fresh and creative, I have to keep Free Days in the mix as part of my regular schedule, not as treatment for burn-out.
That is how to make sure I can continue to create value.
