Why are vacation so hard for entrepreneurs like us?

Do you ever have any of your friends or family members or people you care about, maybe a wife or a spouse, tell you something like this?

You need a break, you need to stop or else you're going to get burned out.

How many times do we have people who we love and we care about tell us things like that?

To think that a break is what we need to be happy to have a balanced life.

What they don't understand is that us entrepreneurs actually get stressed out by vacations.

Why?

Well, right now I'm in Kauai, Hawaii with my beautiful wife, celebrating our 15-year anniversary.

And this beach house right here?

It's been over $2,500 a night to stay here.

We've flown in helicopters, we've gone on boat tours, we floated down irrigation canals,

we've had an amazing vacation.

I'm actually more stressed out now than it was at home running my entire company.

Why?

Because entrepreneurs don't need vacations.

But the people around us that we love, they do.

What our loved ones don't understand is that us entrepreneurs, we don't get happy and sad like normal people.

We only feel momentum.

We're either moving forward or we're moving backwards.

When we're moving forward, we feel happy.

When we're not, we feel sad, we feel upset, and we feel stressed.

It's kind of like when a coach pulls you out of the big game and sets you on the bench
