First thing’s First
Happy Birthday Mr.Mandela!
He is an absolute legend, inspiration and amazing human - you really should take 5 minutes out of your day to reflect about him
My biggest reflection is his forgiveness and how he only moved forward - assholes sent him to prison for 27 years - that level of unfairness would have driven me to murder, instead it moves him towards forgiveness and progress.
Second thing’s Second
I’ve got something awesome for you when I come back - had a really cool idea for the newsletter - and yes it involves AI, you doing very little work, and getting really great outcomes
But now
The last email was about you - this one is about me
I’ve never taken more than 2-3 days of leave during the summer holidays here in Europe
So now im taking 5 business days, and 2 weekends - 9 days of no work (usually this only happens on the Christmas and New Year break) (technically today should also be a day of no work, but here I am…)
I haven’t done a break like this in well over 3 years - so im a bit nervous, but I did plan this and I did write an article on how I manage my burn out
PERSONAL STUFF
We are on a break :D
I’m going to be reading, sleeping, beaching, eating - hopefully running and swimming - for the next 10 days
I’m coming back with energy and action!
Stay safe out there and have an amazing weekend when you get to it!
THATS A WRAP
What did you think about the new section?
Im super curious if i should be sharing about my wins and losses with you, my personal life, or if you guys dont care about me as much as I care about me 😛
