Greetings!

I saw a quote recently, not sure who it’s attributed to but it was “You can’t buy back time”. So true in business and in life.

I just returned from vacation. It was the longest time I have taken in over 20 years. I was gone for 16 days.  Yes, I was concerned about being gone so long and afraid for what I would return to.

At first my plan was to check my emails once in a while, but the day before I left a virus was discovered on my computer. It was a bad one. My IT guy said it was one of those that if not caught “they” would have locked my computer and ransomed it back to me. Not good.

So, I checked emails most every day and some would say that’s not a vacation, but for me it gave me peace of mind that all was good. And I have to say, after I checked emails I didn’t think about work again until the next time I checked.

We all hear the talk about work/life balance and how it’s a constant struggle for some people. And I admit it can be a struggle for me as well. Being an entrepreneur with two businesses there is always something workwise I can be doing. But we are all working to live (right?) not the other way around. I know I had lost sight of that a bit, but I want to enjoy my friends, family and even myself more. And again, you can’t buy back time.

And this vacation showed me that I can indeed turn off my business brain. So I am trying to maintain that since I got back. Granted, just last night I awoke in the middle of the night thinking about a project, but overall, I do believe my vacation helped me to cut that cord a bit more.

We really can’t buy back time, because once it’s gone it’s gone. So, this summer if you are able, I recommend you try the same. Use your time off. Get away, if only for a few days. Use that precious time to recharge those personal batteries.

I think you’ll find you are so much more productive by doing so. I certainly think I am.

Enjoy!

The Power and Value of Showing Appreciation

How often do you express appreciation to your clients, vendors and your employees? And, how do you show your appreciation? Many companies make the traditional mistake of expressing appreciation once a year during the holiday season.
