After a looooooong year, school is finally out for Barney (my son).
Next year, a new school beckons.
His plans for the long summer holiday?
Sofa lounging and snack eating.
Baseball camp.
Rugby camp.
In that order.
And a bit like school kids, these next six weeks can be a weird time for men in this game.
Yes, kids are at home.
Yes, staff are away.
Yes, customers, suppliers and contractors are incommunicado.
But here’s the thing…
This is only a pain in your backside if you let it be.
Instead, embrace it.
Use this time.
Rest.
Recharge.
Allow your mind to wander.
What do you R-E-A-L-L-Y want from the rest of 2024?
And what actions will get there?
Weirdly I always get my best ideas when on holiday…
Usually after about 3-5 days of downtime.
The holiday plan for summer?
Euro Trip.
There will be planes, trains and automobiles.
Hoping for less John Candy chaos, and more Clooney in a speed boat on the Italian Lakes.
I suspect we’ll end up somewhere between the two.
Remember, how you approach the next few weeks is entirely your call.
I urge you…
Use your time wisely.
Until next time.
Make More. Provide More. Be More.
