Why I'm "Abandoning" My Business For 10 Days (And You Should Too!)
Hey Supercharged Entrepreneurs, This Saturday, I'm doing something that will probably make you uncomfortable... I'm completely disconnecting from my business for 10 days! No emails. No calls. No "quick check-ins." "But Mark, aren't you all about hitting $1M months? Shouldn't you be grinding 24/7?" That's exactly what I used to think. Until some years ago I learned a powerful lesson from Dan Sullivan... The world's most experienced entrepreneur coach who's been doing this longer than anyone alive (he's 80 years old)... And who's clients have a combined revenue of multiple billions of dollars. Here's what shocked me: Dan takes 155 days off every year. That's over 5 MONTHS of "not working." Yet he's built one of the most successful coaching businesses in history. Serving thousands of top entrepreneurs. How? Because he discovered what most entrepreneurs never realize: Time off isn't just a reward for hard work - it's a PREREQUISITE for massive success. Here's what this revealed about scaling to $1M months: #1: The "Always Grinding" Mentality Has Costs. Look at Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos. Sure, they're billionaires... but they're also divorced. Listen, I'm not one to judge, but if you haven't realized already, there is a cost to always grinding, whether that's your relationships, health or your fulfilment. There is always a cost. #2: Less Time Creates More Value When you have fewer working days, you become ruthlessly focused on high-impact activities. You don't have time for busy work. You need to focus on the "Needle Work" and delegate or, better yet, delete the rest. #3: Your Best Ideas Come From Outside The Office The best idea I had all year was a new business model that allows me to make a million a month with very little time or stress on my part. (I've been helping my clients achieve this goal for years but hadn't thought to make a $Mil-a-month in my own business... until now). When did this idea hit me? When I was walking to the pool enjoying the sunshine before I hit a swim workout.
