Taking Time Off Generates Wealth

Robin Sharma
About this episode

Legendary producers are professional resters.

They outfocus, outinvent and outwork everyone around them when it’s game time.

And then, after they’ve expressed their mastery in a hot burst of flaming audacity, they go dark. Ghost. Silent.

And recover. And read. And exercise. And daydream. And regenerate.

This seasonal or cyclical way of running a day and then a week and then a month and then your years is unpopular. And counterintuitive, given the way we’ve been socially programmed to think about productivity.

Yet if you really want to express your genius, lead your field and stay in your sport for the fullness of a career, it’s the best way to operate.

So, my encouragement is that while you work, produce majestically in the hours you’ve set to produce. And then—release all guilt conditioned from a “hustle and grind” world—and do what the real pros do.  Take a nap.

If you’re seeking some strong inspiration to grow your business and self—along with some novel tools to win—go ahead and read (or listen to) my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto. Get it here.
