How To Take A Vacation?

I want to share with you this week about how to take a vacation. So many people struggle with being a workaholic or not taking time off. If you want to function at a high level, you have to take vacations. You can't burn the candle at both ends at all times. The old saying is very true, if you don't break your schedule, your schedule will break you.

Here are a couple of things that keep people from taking a vacation:

1. The organization/employees/company needs me so much so I can't take a break! PLEASE! If you actually feel that way, you think you are more important than you really are. Just die and watch how things move on without you. Trust me, if you die, the very people and organization that you think can't make it without you will move on! For some of you, you are going to literally die an early death if you don't take a break.

2. Nobody can do it as good as me. WHATEVER! If you think that, then you are not as good as you think you are. If you are as good as you think you are, you would have trained someone to take your place so that you could take a break (or at least be in the process of training someone). You know you are a good leader and running a healthy organization when things can function as well in your absence as they do with you present.
