It is summer, and time for vacations. As this issue is being sent, my family is packing our bags for our vacation. God knows, I need time away. We all need time away!
One of my good industry friends, Rod Brown takes off two months in the summer to spend time with his family. What...you might think that's crazy! Rod is the principal of a Top 50 promotional products company and a very busy person.
He can't fully check out due the commitments he has, but he may not immediately accessible and somehow things all work out.
I so respect his decision to do this. It comes with a price, but it is also a clear indication of his values and underscores of what is really important in life. While I would love to take that kind of time off, at this point, it's not possible. But I do enjoy our traditional one to two week vacation. The point here is to take a break! If you do...you will actually be more productive.
