0:01 On taking vacations
0:03 I’m going to say it first and I’m going
0:05 to explain it it’ll sound like I’m
0:08 making excuses for you to take vacations
0:11 or for me to take vacations but reality
0:14 when you own a business you work a lot
0:17 uh you don’t go home at 5 pm and take
0:21 your worries and just leave them at work
0:23 you keep working on them if you have
0:25 emails you’re responding from home
0:27 you’re doing book work from home then
0:29 you go first thing in the morning to
0:31 open the place and if there’s an alarm
0:33 in the building you’re running at the
0:35 middle of the night you’re working 24 7.
0:38 so taking a vacation is a critical part
0:41 of being able to keep this thing going
0:43 otherwise you become very stale when you
0:46 take a vacation it could be as simple as
0:48 if you live in Cleveland go an hour West
0:50 there’s an island called Kelly’s Island
0:52 have you been there take a car you can
0:55 take a car across on the island for like
0:57 60 70 bucks announcement you your spouse
1:00 and children can go and have a nice day
1:03 on the island or just maybe you and your
1:05 spouse go get refreshed rejuvenated take
1:08 a look at a different scenery ideas will
1:10 start coming to you
1:12 the idea of kaboon pages came came to me
1:15 on a trip down to uh to visit our
1:19 daughter the idea of marketing in a
1:23 certain way came to me at another one
1:24 this entire series on how to create uh
1:28 businesses from scratch how to Market
1:30 them how to do everything I’ve done down
1:33 here while I’m on quote vacation I I do
1:36 a lot more
1:37 uh what’s the word I’m looking for
1:40 precise work I could take a project work
1:43 on it for two hours and not worry about
1:45 someone interrupting me and saying hey
1:47 I’ve got a fire over here could you help
1:48 me put it on I’ll go hey I’m 1200 miles
1:51 away I can’t put it out so they figure
1:53 out how to live without you don’t worry
1:56 and even if you’re a one-man show you
1:59 know make time for Vacations so that’s
2:03 all I’m going to say on the subject well
2:04 no I’ll say a little bit more vacations
2:06 let you spend time with your family
2:08 which is missing you 24 7 practically
2:11 let you connect with your spouse
2:15 it lets you see your children if you
2:17 have children
2:18 but most importantly a vacation lets you
2:21 see what other people in your category
2:24 are doing and in all of the categories
2:26 you know you see someone in a different
2:28 city displaying a sign differently you
2:31 walk in you see how their showroom looks
2:32 I used to do that all the time up till
2:35 about 1992 I started my business when I
2:38 was 16 and
2:40 1992 I built a pretty gorgeous facility
2:43 had Automotive business 12 locations we
2:46 ran them for 25 years very successfully
2:50 um but up till 1992 I’ve been in
2:53 business for five years or even more
2:55 than that I hadn’t really begun to take
2:57 vacations we opened the door 84 for
2:59 seven years I hadn’t taken hardly any
3:01 vacations
3:02 a friend of mine came and said why
3:05 aren’t you doing that and I said while
3:08 I’m waiting until we get busy and I have
3:12 staff he says that’s never going to
3:14 happen and you know what now I have
3:16 hindsight it never got easy there was
3:19 never a moment where you could say right
3:21 here I could take a two week off that
3:22 was never you had to make it everybody
3:24 scrambled uh the place sometimes uh you
3:29 know felt like you want to tear your
3:31 hair out but I pretty much try not to
3:33 stay in touch back with the office
3:35 they’ve got something going on I want
3:37 them to be able to handle it on their
3:40 own and when I had a lot of Staff you
3:44 really got to learn if you have staff to
3:46 trust those staff hire the correct staff
3:48 and so forth but
3:51 if they’re not worthy of running the
3:53 show when you’re not there you probably
3:55 didn’t choose the right people so and
3:58 they want that opportunity when you’re
4:00 gone they love to show you in two weeks
4:02 to four weeks period by time you come
4:05 back that hey we did just fine when you
4:08 were gone and we’re so glad you’re back
4:10 because that was a lot of work I mean
4:12 that’s pretty much what they’re going to
4:13 discover and you thank God for letting
4:16 you have the time off and come up with
4:18 good ideas come up with good designs
4:21 come up with good Concepts change the
4:24 way you’re doing something I decided to
4:26 change my entire way of approaching
4:28 things when I finally slowed down to
4:30 think what is it I do you know is it
4:33 that I’m technically gifted and I could
4:35 do websites and I can do electronics
4:37 really good no that’s not what I do what
