Many business professionals and entrepreneurs get so busy with the day-to-day details of running their businesses that they don’t recognize the drain this constant running can cause both personally (i.e., on their health) and to the business. I am guilty of doing the same thing!
It’s important to step back and ask yourself a few questions:
1. Have I looked at the long term goals of the business lately?
2. Generated any new ideas?
3. Is my passion for my work at least as high as it was when I joined or started the firm?
4. Are business-related tasks or stress keeping me from sleeping, making time to exercise, eating right, or otherwise taking care of my health?
Sometimes it’s better for you AND your business to take that vacation! A real vacation (not one where you are working in your hotel room overlooking the beach!) can open your eyes to new ideas and recharge the passion you had for your work.
I just returned from a trip to the Cotswolds in England and must say that I AM recharged and ready to go! Looking at things from a wider perspective and taking time away from the office does matter—I returned to the office today ready to take on the world!
So get out there and plan a real vacation—it can recharge your passion for your job and for life.
