I actually have a bunch of things on my mind today...new product ideas & business development opportunities...thinking about bringing on a partner (and as such giving up some of my equity)...the role this current US economy is going to play on my business short-term with this season's tradeshows (and as such how much inventory should I have on hand?) and longterm with the potential fallout of competitors and retailers in the next 12-24 months...if it is 12-24 months can my business handle it from a cashflow perspective...
And now that you have a rundown of all the thoughts running rampant through my mind...lucky you...
But the main theme of today is about vacation. That glorious word that makes you think of crystal clear beaches and umbrella drinks or shoshing down champagne powder with an o'so handsome and flirtatious ski (or snowboard) instructor...mmm...vacation...
But the reality of vacation - and I believe this is the same regardless of whether you're an entrepreneur or corporate cube rat, is that you essentially spend the week before vacation trying to cram at least two weeks worth of work into one week so that you can leave feeling like everything's been accomplished and you'll return to an empty desk with a clear mind. However we all know that you actually come back to a full email inbox and a list of to-dos a mile long. Right now however I'm in that prior week franticness fully believing that if I can just get everything done (in addition to cleaning my house before the inlaws show up this weekend and pack, and plan and shop for meals for 12 people next week) that I'll actually be able to leave this business behind for a week and enjoy my vacation. So why then am I planning on bringing my computer and blackberry on said relaxing vacation? You know, just in case I find myself bored with nothing to do...
