188 Better Business

The lady who ran my business in England worked very hard.
She ‘opened’ that country and, within a couple of years, did literally millions in sales.

At one point I asked her when was her last vacation.
She said, “Oh, there’ll be plenty of time for that later.”
So it’s been a couple of years.
“Yes.”
OK, here’s a direct order. Take a vacation.
“Don’t be silly” she said, “I have far too much to do.”
I repeat. It’s an order.

She took a couple of weeks off at Christmas and visited Disney in Florida.
In January she said, “You were right. I am amazed how I was sliding without knowing it.
It was happening so gradually I simply did not realize it. Now I’m rested, I make decisions better and much faster.”

All my life I have been too busy to do the things I consider non-business.
Yet if I’m at one meeting I certainly can not be at another one at the same time.
And that does not ruin my business.
So I ‘schedule’ my wife in, like an appointment.
It’s worked for our 48 years of marriage. (And the business became a million a day sales!)

If things are not going well for you, that’s when to schedule some time out.

Not to work harder.

But to take time out.

So things will improve.
