Better take a book
Entrepreneur, August, 2002 by Chad Scheer
Summer vacation is a great time to unwind. You get to spend time traveling or hanging out with your family rather than worrying about accounts receivable. Is it any wonder that it's also when most of us reassess our lives? This evaluation sometimes generates ideas that can spur your business to greater growth.
To help this summer's rediscovery process along, toss two recent books into your beach bag. In Toxic Success (Inner Ocean, $24.95), Paul Pearsall contrasts those who feel pushed with those who feel pulled. The former drag themselves out of bed in the morning. The latter bound into the day. Guess which one leads a more fulfilled life? A clinical psychoneuro-immunologist, Pearsall suggests ways in which toxic success syndrome can be turned into sweet success--and no, that doesn't mean giving up your business.

Aspirations of Greatness (John Wiley & Sons, $27.95) by Jim Warner approaches similar topics from a more familiar perspective. A successful software entrepreneur, he sold his company in 1992 and set off in a new direction. He became a coach to other entrepreneurs, businesspeople and even clergy. Through their stories, he explores the various paths that lead to midlife crises. Then he sets about exploring ways to break the cycle.
If you feel guilty walking away from your business for a week, spending some of that time with these titles will ease your anxiety. They help you think about the big picture and prepare yourself to return to work recharged.
