Summary

f you want to be successful in business, then you must set aside alone time.

Two times a year, Bill Gates spends time all by himself for a week in the forest. No cellphone, no computer. He just totally disconnects from the outside modern world and calls that the think week. Now, why do successful people spend time by themselves?

You see, very often, we are so close to our issues that we don’t take enough time to think about it. We need to step back and ask, “What exactly is the problem here?”

During his thinking time, Bill Gates does a lot of reading, thinking, and journaling. And during that time, he thinks about what he does. I also practice something similar to the think week.
