The Entrepreneur’s Nightmare: Taking Time Off

One of the challenges – and one of the most fun things – about running a rapidly growing business like FeedBlitz is that there’s always something (many somethings, let’s be honest) to do next. What’s next is exciting, frequently difficult and usually time consuming.

So I should ‘fess up here: I might be a workaholic. I love my job; building and running this crazy business. And for those of us who are driven to build businesses, the hardest thing is letting go – not only letting go to other people, but also letting go of next enough to take some time off.

I stink at taking time off. Next is so, so very seductive. But I am, this week, taking some time away (that’s a real photo of my hotel pool). I’m going more or less offline, and to hell with my Klout score (that’s an inside joke – pay no attention to your Klout score. Seriously).

Taking time off is making me antsy, nervous and all sorts of fidgety. I clearly need to take some time off! I shall try to put the phone down, keep the laptop more or less closed, and try to enjoy the down time. And if you recognize yourself in any of this; perhaps it’s time to embrace the nightmare and enjoy a little R and R yourself. Wish me luck and a couple of pina coladas; I’ll be back next week…
