When is the last time you took two full days for yourself?
No business responsibilities. No family responsibilities.
Nothing to “do.”
What does that bring up in you when I mention it?
A lot of people panic. The thought of being alone with themselves for that long terrifies them.
A lot people immediately dismiss it as a “waste of time,” saying things like, “I’m way too busy for that right now,” or “Maybe in a few months, when things slow down.
Of course things never slow down because it is YOU who are creating the busyness.
But what if you were in the room with other people just like you—business owners who have gotten to a point where they see that their financial success is not only NOT making them happy, but it might actually be getting in the WAY of their happiness.
And if you are quiet for just a minute, you know if you would benefit from this, or at least would benefit from a conversation about this.
Question One
What is it that you want?
Not what do you want others to think about you.
Not what do others expect from you.
Not what do you think you SHOULD want.
What do you ACTUALLY want? (And even more importantly, WHY do you want it? WHAT do you think having it will give you?)
Or put another way—
What do you WANT when you don’t NEED anything?
Question Two
What is it that is calling you?
When you have had a certain amount of financial success you begin to see that it is not a sustainable source of happiness or fulfillment.
Instead, you begin to live on the hedonic treadmill.
Like a drug addict, you need more and more.
But if you are able to step back, to slow down, you begin to see that all along, something bigger has been operating through you.
That it has been quietly calling you.
That the greatest moments of satisfaction and fulfillment have been the ones where you have listened to that still, small voice.
And that enduring satisfaction is not about external pressure but about internal truth.
Two Days in Denver
On October 20-21, a group of founders and business owners will gather in Denver, Colorado to talk about these two questions.
No “corporate” stuff.
No KPIs.
No strategic plans.
The agenda for these two days is YOU.
What you are afraid to face.
What is getting in your way.
What might be calling you if you are only able to hear.
This event is not for the faint of heart.
But on the other side of this is EVERYTHING YOU ACTUALLY WANT.
