I'll see you on the inside. Are you one of those people that can work hours and hours on end without taking a break? Or do you stop and give yourself regular breaks to effectively refresh and renew yourself? Now that's the topic of this week's on your power clip, which is the power that comes to you when you take the time to recharge. And I know this may sound simplistic.

But let me say this. Actually, before I get into that, let me mention one or two quick things. If you're getting value from this podcast, I would just be super grateful if you took literally one minute and went to iTunes and left me a five star review or even a comment if you feel so inclined. Now I read every one of them and I love getting them. My ultimate goal in life is to reach an end impact as many people as I possibly can and those reviews help trigger iTunes algorithms to get me in front of more people. So thank you in advance for that. All right, let's get to it.

As I said today, we're going to talk about the power you get when you recharge yourself. Now, quote, I really love is to work hard and then play hard. Now me, I work my butt off because I love what it is that I do. So then I don't feel guilty when I take time to recharge my favorite thing in the world to do is to spend time with my bride on vacations that we

take or going out on our boat or jet skis or just simply being together and not having to think about anything except rocking her world. Now I will tell you this, my friend, if you're one of those people that works straight through for hours on end, you're making a big mistake. You're much more effective if you take the time to regularly recharge so that when you do work, you're in the zone, you know, that refreshing or recharging or renewing is critical to being fully engaged and focused when you're working on something. You're not just recharging your body when you take a break.

You're also recharging your mind. And of course, if you're recharging with the people that matter the most in your life, you're renewing those relationships as well. So as it relates to your mind, it is critical that you recharge so that you can be creative and innovative and inspired. Now, when you've got that energy and passion, you're able to come up with new ideas. And that's what drives businesses and drives your success, frankly, even in relationships. When you take the time to think about new ways to delight those people that matter to you, you're recharging

those relationships. Now, as it relates to your mind, if you're continually reading and coming up with new ideas, why you're relaxed and recharging, not only are you becoming better at your business, but you're also becoming better at that innovation and creation.

Now, one great way to recharge is through meditation. There are lots of ways to meditate. It can be just as simple as focusing on your breathing for a few minutes or utilizing one of the many apps that you can download on your phone to meditate.

Now, a lot of the apps will allow you to set a time. So it'll take you into a deep state of meditation. It can be as little as 10 minutes.

But here's why that's a big deal. It's been proven that a short meditation can be as impactful as a long nap to your energy and your vitality.

Now, let's talk about your body. The need to recharge and renew your body is also critically important.

Now, I've worked out my entire life and since I'm in pretty good shape, I'm able to enjoy my time off and do the things that I might not be able to do if I hadn't worked so hard to stay in shape.

Now, we all go through cycles as it relates to our health and our fitness. So if you're at the bottom of one of your cycles, just get back on that treadmill, get back to that gym. Don't beat yourself up. Just get back to it.

But for you to be a success in this multi-family business, especially if you're doing this on the side with a family and children and maybe you've got a W2 job or a business, that requires incredible energy.

And you only have that energy if you're taking care of yourself. Now, let's talk about sleep. I can't tell you how important sleep is to your success.

If you're not getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep at night, you need to fix this because when you do, it's going to spill over and improve every area of your life.

Also, let's talk about your relationships. If you love what you do like I do, and you get a charge from it, then it can be hard on those around you.

You know, you may get a thrill from working 16 hour days, but I guarantee you your spouse or significant other or children, don't get that same thrill.

Now, I do everything I can to spend one-on-one time with Tiffany every single day, whether it's a walk or a bike ride or even just going to the grocery store with her.

I also make it a point to start the day with her and have coffee together every opportunity I get.

And not only does this keep me grounded and focused on what's most important in my life, but it also allows me to recharge and renew.

Now, I realize everyone recharges differently. I get that. In fact, introverts renew and recharge by being alone and just being by themselves.
