Your Business Gets Better When You Learn to Spend Time Doing Nothing
You work so hard, living on caffeine, bad food and sleepless nights, you make mistakes, miss the details, and lose your ability to see the big picture in your business
No sane person would voluntarily commit to 60 hours a week, years of paying your dues until your turn arrives to make money, and the chance to risk everything you have, and everything you might ever have, on your ability to make a dream come true.
Yet people who love and commit to what they do in small business, questionable sanity and all, are willing to work harder than others to chase their dreams. Obsession, or the drive to make your dream come true, is driven by possession, which is the pride of ownership and the freedom to get it done your way.
This dedication always takes you to where you cross the line of tired and burned out, and enter “soul tired,” where your decision making process suffers, people around you begin to notice you are becoming somewhat of an ass, and you yell at the counter person at the coffee shop because she misspelled your name on your coffee cup.
There is bone weary, dragging ass tired, then there is “soul tired” the tired known so well by anyone…
