Agreed. Nothing beats time away where you can relax and recharge the batteries.
The pen is mightier than the sword (and a lot easier to write with!)

Think about how your business is going to progress, and make plans to achieve it.  I nearly left it too late, it's amazing how soon retirement creeps up on you and if you're relying on the Old Age Pension you can forget it - you'll have to keep grafting till you keel over.

Perfect advise.

In business there is never a reason to be bored if you're running the show.

SELF MOTIVATION ... How can you get bored ? Every day is a challenge when you have to go out & earn your money.
Dont let women involved tho unless your working together !
