Bailing on your life during a busy time

Wow! What a great time! As many of you noticed I've been out of touch for a while. The reason is that I went on vacation. I had pushed myself really hard and when an opportunity to go on vacation popped up I went. And, once again, this was a story of choices.

Many of you know that besides my work helping people make choices that improve their lives and businesses I also co-own http://www.reclaimu.com/. Well, we've been extrememly busy with the current launch of the Phoenix Center which guides and supports people who are ready to make some new choices and move in new directions. We launched with the basics and had some amazing ideas for growing and expanding. That means we started pushing ourselves like mad to get them done and out there so people can use them. Then, in the midst of major updates and a ton of work needing to be completed, I chose to leave town. Not only did I leave town, I went backpacking with my husband with no cell phone access - and it's the best thing I ever could have done for my business and for my personal life.

Many of you have heard me talk about making the choices that you know are right for you. I encourage you to do what you know in your gut is right, even when the choice doesn't seem to be the most logical one. This was an example of exactly that. In a situation where there is a ton of work to be done, my business partner is preparing to move, and we have a good product that is ready to be made into a great one, I chose to leave. That was a choice I knew was right in my gut even though it may not have looked logical on the surface. And by going someplace where I could recharge my batteries and fill myself up again I have come back with better focus, better perspective and the ability to get more done in less time.

You really do know what is right for you. And as you learn to listen to your gut, your intuition, that little voice inside, I encourage you to trust it and to follow it.

I wish you an extraordinary life!
