"When you're down in the weeds running a company, there's a strong chance you start to lose perspective. A break allows you to step back and get that."
John Helm, Venture Capitalist, Former CEO, Homestore.com Are you “down in the weeds” in your business? Have you lost perspective of what really matters in your work? If yes, then ...
STOP. Take a PAUSE.
With increasing demands, your ability to think clearly and maintain equilibrium is being stretched to the point of breaking. As the holidays roll around ... as winter sets in ... as we near the end of 2006, that small voice inside beckons us to take time off, to go inward, to reflect.
Are you listening to that voice?
Give yourself the greatest holiday gift of all: the gift of time. With 2007 just around the block, make a personal retreat a top priority. Here’s why.
1. Personal retreats IMPASSION you with new ways to transform your business for greater meaning and profits.
According to Anthony Robbins, "the greatest force on earth is the soul on fire.’ A personal retreat can help you reconnect with your inner fire and make new business choices aligned with your deepest visions, values and purpose.
2. Personal retreats REVITALIZE you, your energies and your spirit ... increasing your productivity in record-breaking time.
Your business is only as healthy and vital as you are. Even 1-2 days of relaxation will do more for your bottomline than 20 hours per week overtime for the next year.
Whether you retreat by the ocean, in the mountains or in the woods, your whole being --- body, mind and spirit --- becomes revitalized. From that more vibrant place, extraordinary things happen in your business.
3. Personal retreats AWAKEN your creative juices -- the secret ingredient to quantum leaps in your business.
Without normal everyday distractions, a retreat provides the perfect environment for clearing your mind and igniting your juices. As a result, your eyes open to new visions and new possibilities. Your creative spirit comes alive.
In my own experience, when I take a personal retreat, not only am I recharged with new excitement in my business. My challenges, that once were draining me, seem to magically disappear and/or resolve themselves, just by taking time for myself and pausing.
THE END RESULT: With as little as 24-48 hours of “pausing,” you can gain the necessary momentum, clarity and energy for accelerating success and profits in the new year.
COACH’S ACTION STEP: Get Physically, Mentally and Spiritually Ready for 2007 Make a commitment right now to take time to retreat, reflect and revitalize to get ready for the New Year. Whether it be a day or a weekend, take time to revisit what happened or did not happen in your business during the past year. Give yourself time to explore new visions and goals for the New Year. Take quiet time to reconnect with yourself and the fire within. The power of pause will take you out of the "weeds" in your business and recharge your passion and profits in 2007.
