I’ll forward this post to my boss. Maybe, if I’m lucky, they’ll up the number of vacation days I get to 11…

[...] John Assaraf touched on it in his post on “what hourly rate you must make” to reach your financial goals, and then again when he laid out his “work schedule for success“. [...]

This is such a great article, Mr. Assaraf because there are so many people that don’t believe in time off. I have worked for so many companies where the morale is “work until you drop, and when you do, someone else will pick up where you left off.”

Often, in these situations, I felt guilty for taking random time off, often when I (and my poor body especially) really needed it. In other instances that are non work related, I have came in contact with people that have been so brazen to say…what makes you think you deserve time off? I also know people that believe that you have to work yourself to the bone and if you don’t then you must have a problem, but I learned that there is a better way. So, thank you so much for this wonderful and insightful article!!!

Dean, Thank you (!) for thanking me. I appreciate your feedback. The mini-meditations during the day, really help when I have perceived disappointments, and my ego is beating me up. When my mind is “clear”… Serendipitious events happen more frequently! I was astonished at the end of one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Seminars on business…HE said “Success” is 99% SPIRITUAL. He said the deal of the century passes us by everyday, but we need to be in a “place” to see it….

As a senior who has jumped the fence, that seperates tradition from what I realy want to do regardless of age, (thank you DESIRE within) I delight in reading people’s common sense of taking time for them selves….now! You will be glad you did rather than following a time table and schedule that others made for you that does not allow ‘fun’, ‘love’ and ‘peace’.

I happen to be in my hotel room looking the Acropolis in Greece and as I read these threads I get so much joy knowing people are reading, responding and reflecting on their wonderful lives!

What a great reminder and great advice for those of us who have our own business!! I would like to reiterate Chris Shouse’s ? :

John, when you take time off what allows you to stop thinking about what you need to do and totally relax?

I guess emptying your mind or meditation helps – I have been using Holosync(sp?) for the last month and it has helped immensely!

Thank you for the reminder to value our spirit and our bodies!

I look forward to talking and reading more!

This is the first thread I’ve looked at since registering. This is awesome. Right now my partner and I are looking at completely changing our lives (moving to a new state, new jobs aimed towards helping us fund a new business etc). This new blog couldn’t have happened at a better time. I look forward to conversing with everyone here
