About a week ago, I took a Friday afternoon off so that I could make chili for a neighborhood outing. I literally shut down all my computers, didn’t think about marketing, development or even emails (well, I did check once or twice since we have a big sale in the works. ha ha ha). I took off for the local farmers market, grabbed a bunch of my ingredients and spent the rest of the afternoon chopping, stirring, tasting and mentally checking out of all my stress and to-do lists.
Looking back on that afternoon, it was completely freeing. Rule #32: Enjoy the little things. Well, Tallahassee certainly had that one right. If you don’t take time to enjoy life, well, what hell am I working so hard for. It is amazing what a little perspective can give you. Just those few hours away were the perfect reminder of why I want to be running my own business rather than just consulting. See the possibility of being able to one day stop working, and still see my business flourish gives me hope that I can one day truly be my own boss. It’s not a dream… just reality that hasn’t come to pass yet.
Anyway, just a simple reminder to follow rule #32. It can give you the power to jump back into your business with renewed passion.
