I won’t know if you open and read this email, .

At least not until Monday.

Because I’m hiking up in the mountains this weekend.

No internet.

No phone.

No Instagram.

No Email.

Nada.

There’s something about being 3000 meters above sea level surrounded by nothing but rock (and the occasional groundhog) that’s just so fucking… humbling!

Just the sheer scale of everything makes you feel so small and insignificant.

Which is sometimes actually a good thing.

Because it encourages you to step back from the spotlight of your immediate situation and really look at the bigger picture.

Now, I’m not just talking about all the existential stuff.

Why am I here?

What’s my purpose?

Am I making a difference in the world?

But the 'medium-sized' picture stuff too.

Am I on track with my life & business plan?

What’s the next step?

Am I actually building a business that supports the lifestyle I want, or is it the other way around…

Am I compromising the lifestyle I want to suit the business I’m building?

Because it’s just so fucking easy to get caught up in the day to day stuff when you’re running a business.

Whether it’s a coaching biz, a freelance service provider, or running an agency like a lot of the people on this email list.

So, unless you’re in the middle of a massive launch…

Or you have some serious deadlines to meet on Monday…

Try to take some time out of your biz to reconnect with yourself this weekend.

Shit. Even if you are running around like crazy putting out fires... 

Or if up to your eyeballs in client work…

Or booked solid with discovery calls...

Set aside some time for yourself anyway.

Because here’s something else I find that happens a lot.

When you really do take a bit of ‘me time’, especially if you spend that time moving your body surrounded by nature, those creative juices start flowing thick and fast…

And you’ll come back to your laptop full of ideas.

OK, that’s all I’ve got for you today, .

Just have one more email to write for a client, then a coaching call to run and I’m outta here for the weekend.

Hope you have a good one.
