Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
ByAs the legendary Nat King Cole sang way back in 1963, “Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.”
I don’t know about you but this time of year I like to slow down and relax a little. Of course, if you’re one of my friends in Australia, New Zealand or anywhere else that it’s winter, you’re having a different experience:-)
If you are, by the way, be sure to look for the new Australian edition of This is Your Life, Not a Dress Rehearsal just released there. You can order it from the Australian Online Bookshop
Also, you can read an interview with me in the new Australian success magazine, “No Limits.” It’s an awesome publication and I’m honored to be part of it.
But, if you are in the midst of summer, or just want to relax a bit, now is the ideal time to do it. In most of the world, people are slowing down a little.
Personally, one of the things I like to do, as Steven Covey suggests, is “sharpen my saw.” I like to use these slower times of the year to learn and study. Besides, I need something more to do while sitting on the beach or even on my own patio. If you’re interested, you can read below about some of what I’m currently reading and studying.
Summer is also a great time to do some strategic planning for your business or even make your plan to add an additional income stream.
As I’ve said over and over, I believe this is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from rising prices. You can learn several ways to do this in my home study program
Georgia and I recently spent a few wonderful days visiting friends. Not only did we have fun and get to sit quietly along the Oneida river, watching the boats go by and, one afternoon taking a leisurely boat ride ourselves, I also had the opportunity to have long conversations with my friend Wayne. When he and I speak, we get into some pretty deep stuff.
One of these talks resulted in our brainstorming a new series of audio programs unlike anything ever done in the personal development field. The first of these will be ready in a few weeks and I’ll let you know more about it later.
Being away from my day-to-day environment enables me to free my mind from it’s usual tasks and allows my brain to come up with new and creative ideas. All while having a great time. Of course, I ate too much but I’ll deal with that later:-)
We all need this mental time to relax, reflect and let our minds come up with new ideas. This is hard to do if we’re in our regular routine.
So, the next time you’re thinking, “all I seem to do is work,” take some time off and as Nat King Cole suggested, enjoy those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.
Do you want to know what I am studying?
My latest book is The Answer by John Assaraf. You may remember him as the “Dream Board” guy from the movie, The Secret. It’s a law of attraction book targeted toward business people and it’s great.
To continue to “sharpen my saw” in business, I’m studying (and will be acting on for a while) “Traffic Manifesto” by my friend Ross Goldberg. If the Internet is a part of your business, or you’d like it to be, you need this.
However, be warned, if you think you’re going to fluff thorough it and are not willing to take the action, don’t bother. This is a very, very comprehensive course that will give you real results . . . if . . . you do your part.
I really like your document. It’s evident that you have a lot practical knowledge with this topic. Your points are well made as well as relatable. Thanks for publishing engaging and also helpful information.
