Hey Guys,

We just got back from a really short 2-night vacation.  It was a spur of the moment type of thing, but really getting AWAY from business TOTALLY even for just a short while is one of the absolute best things you can do for your business.

We’ve resolved to take a 3-day weekend vacation at least once each quarter.

Because we’re always wired to the online world, it’s easy just to drift into the computer in your spare time and check email, or surf or just about anything.

But business and personal life needs a clear, direct truncation.

They need to be seperate.

That’s one of the things that makes working from home so challenging.  Either you already know how to “compartmentalize” your different areas of life, or you struggle with it.  But everyone who works from home suffers from “bleed-time” which is where you are not working optimally, and at the same time your not fully engaged in rest/recovery.

I’m going through Eben Pagan’s “Get Altitude” right now, and he calls it “The Grey Zone.”

As a home-based entrepreneur, you need to get quicker at moving from good work to absolutely no work.  And back.

If you can master that, you’ll not only be able to make a lot of money from home, but you’ll be able to really, truly enjoy it.

(And unfortunately I know a huge number of people who make good money, but can’t fully enjoy it.)

And the separation of work and play is essential.
