Recharging Your Batteries for New Energy and Ideas

Travel is one of the most important things any of us can do. It is a necessity not a luxury in my opinion. It positively shakes the status quo, opens up to seeing things differently, and refills the reservoir with new information. And sometimes it happens without consciously realizing what is going on.

Of the 11 days I was recently traveling to and in England and Holland, not more than a total of 2 days (if that!) was spent discussing business at all, much less booklets. Since everyone I stayed with during those days had been a client or colleague at some point, there was, understandably, some business conversation mixed in and among seeing the local sites, discovering new foods, and getting to know each other at deeper levels.

It was also a wonderful reminder that some things really truly can wait a week or two, without the world coming to an end. Yes, it can be frustrating when you are looking for an answer from prospect or a client or an adviser while you are 100% in work mode and they are off on holiday somewhere. I do know this break was beneficial, giving me more juice to give back out to those who are seeking it from me, and for initiating new ideas within my own business.

If you are currently in that place of frustration, you probably have a couple more weeks to go before people are back in gear again. In the US, this weekend is Labor Day weekend, a 3-day "bank holiday," if you will. Give it another week beyond that to expect people to be re-focused. Then be ready to go!

Until next time,
