The act of booking the trip creates space in your brain to think and dream. It's something to look forward to. Something to work harder for, knowing there's a deadline to Unplug.

Where are you booking your next trip to?

How many times have you said "let's do a trip next spring," and then nobody picked a date?

That's how trips die. Not because of money, and not because of the business. Nobody books them.

Chapter 12 of Permission to Unplug is about making rest a habit you keep, not a reward you earn someday. The first step is almost embarrassingly small: book one weekend away. Today.

Tell me in the comments where you're going. I read them.

How many of these apply to you right now? You check email within 10 minutes of waking up. Your last "vacation" had a laptop and a conference call attached. You feel guilty, not tired, when you're not working. Your team keeps asking for approval on things they're fully capable of deciding. You can't remember the last time you were bored on purpose.

Sometimes you just need to stop and remember to breathe.

I've built companies for 30 years and I still love going 100 mph. What changed over the last 9 years isn't my speed. It's that I finally have a finish line every day. In at 6:30, out by 4. When I'm home, I'm home.

What's yours, the real one and not the one on paper?

There are four types of entrepreneurs, and only one of them has actually built the freedom the other three are chasing. The Grinder measures worth in hours logged.
The Vacationer books the trip but brings the laptop anyway.
The Unplugger steps away but comes back anxious and behind.
The Experiencer steps away completely — and the business is stronger when they get back.

Which one are you operating from right now? Take the free 2-minute Experiencer Quiz and find out:

Here's a question most of us don't love answering honestly: can you accept that someone is better at your job than you are?

Not "does it differently." Better.

Every time I've traveled and seen how other cultures run their days, their businesses, and their downtime, I've come home with the same uncomfortable realization. Some of what I was sure was "the right way" was just the familiar way.

That's where growth starts.

At some point, every founder faces the same day: you sell the business, retire, or hand it off. The real question is who you are on that day. If your entire identity has been the business, that moment doesn't feel like freedom — it feels like loss. Building the systems to step away is only half the work. The other half is deciding who you want to be with the time you get back: the hobbies you keep pushing to "later," the relationships you keep meaning to invest in. Later isn't guaranteed.

This is where my new book, Permission to Unplug, ultimately lands — not just how to build a business that runs without you, but how to build a life worth stepping into. Available everywhere books are sold — link in bio.

Filmed while I was writing Chapter 6.

The first time you step away from your business, it doesn't feel like freedom. It feels miserable. And weird. And somehow a little happy.

That's not failure. That's the entry fee.

Nobody gets good at unplugging in one big vacation. You build it through micro experiences: one phone-free dinner, one long weekend, one afternoon where the business runs without you. Each one gets a little easier than the last.

Two years from now, you'll wonder why it ever felt hard.
