constant creativity

Business owners and entrepreneurs are constantly creating.  Looking at the last 7 years I’ve been in business, my life and my business have been on a never ending path of creativity.

And the constant creativity can be exhausting.

What’s it like to always be thinking up new ideas? Always implementing new strategy? Always hustling and looking for a different way to appeal to our customers?  If you have the “E” gene  (E for Entrepreneur) you know what it’s like.  Our brains never ever switch off.  May the Gods bless our little cotton socks.

No matter how much we have systemized, how much we delegate, how many great people we hire: we’re always thinking.

In “thinking” about it what are some of the ways we manage the energy expenditure from our constant creativity?  How do we fill up our own cup?  Or, in some cases, switch our brain off?

  • go on retreats – all inclusive please!
  • cook, eat, drink
  • meditate
  • exercise

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a location that catered specifically to us “E” gene people that understood our need to balance filling the cup and constant creativity?  Where I can relax, rejuvenate and have moments of blinding inspiration, hop on line and make it happen?  For me, that place is Canyon Ranch in Tucson.  It’s not specifically for us, but it may as well be.  My friend Jacintha gets screamin’ deals on group trips to CR and I’m planning on going in December – all being well.

What’s your release?  How do you fill up the cup?
