At the beginning of the summer, I ask my team to slow down to the speed of joy.
Now here we are in the last week of summer and I’m sitting on a beach in Turks and Caicos, so I figured I should probably practice what I preach.
I’m not very good at completely shutting off, and I’m not sure I ever will be. I still answered the calls, returned the emails and even sold a house from this beach, although admittedly my response time has been a little more on island time.
I’ve always been wired to think about the next deal, the next goal and what needs to get done tomorrow. This summer I’ve tried to spend a little more time appreciating what’s already right in front of me.
The business didn’t stop because I slowed down a little and neither did life.
One week of summer left. I’m going to enjoy it and I hope you do too!
Work hard.
Be kind.
Repeat. 💙
