Most entrepreneurs are doers by nature — that's exactly how you get a business off the ground. You do everything because there's no one else to do it. But here's where it goes wrong: most founders never make the shift away from doing, even once they can finally afford to. Your ...business doesn't grow past a certain point because you're still the one cranking every wheel.
Growth requires becoming an architect instead of a doer — building systems that run the business instead of running it yourself, every day, forever.
I lay out exactly how to make that shift in Permission to Unplug.

It's ok to say "I Can't, I Have Plans". Make those plans a trip somewhere. The process of planning a trip have similar effects on your body and brain as actually taking the trip.
Having a destination to look forward to brings you energy to get through the days ...and weeks ahead.
Where are you planning to go next? Share in the comments below and let's look forward to something together.

Their economy survives a summer off.
Your business can't survive a Tuesday.
That's not a cultural difference. That's a design flaw.
If the company stops when you stop, you didn't build a business. You built a job with a single point ...of failure — and the point of failure is you.
Permission to Unplug is about fixing that. Not "take more vacation." Building something that grows faster when you're not in it.

Your phone is a slot machine, and most of us are playing it dozens of times a day without realizing it. Every notification is engineered to give you a small hit of dopamine so you come back for more — and here's the part that surprises people: studies show just having your phone nearby, even... face-down and silent, quietly drains your ability to focus. The fix isn't more discipline. It's removing the temptation entirely.
Turn off notifications for email, social, news, and shopping apps. Leave texts on. That's it. Try it for three days and watch how much of your brain comes back online.
This is one small tactic from Chapter 7 of Permission to Unplug — Comment "Unplugged" below to get a copy of the 1st chapter and a link to order.

You want to grow faster? Get in rooms where you're the least successful person there.
That's not ego — that's strategy.
Suite lounges on cruises. Luxury resorts. High-end events. The people in those rooms paid to be there — which means they've ...built something real. And the second you start asking "how did you get here?" the conversation shifts everything.
When you're around people at a bigger level than you, you can't help but appreciate up.
That's Chapter 10 of Permission to Unplug. Growth doesn't live in familiar places. 🎬

There's something that happens when you travel. Your mind becomes free. Your body starts to let go as your chemicals get back into balance.
You need this.
Book the trip and truly unplug. Explore the world and see who you find. It might just be a new you.

My new book, Permission to Unplug is not just about unplugging on vacation. Its also about unplugging and being present while learning.
I'm at the @tomferry Success Summit in Anaheim this week. Its day 2 of the event and I looked around today and noticed how many agents, who spent ...money to be here, are working on their laptops, walking out to take phone calls or just chatting with friends.
If they knew how to unplug, think how much more they could come away from this conference to actually grow their business.
Give yourself Permission to Unplug and be present wherever you are..
