Allison Maslan argues that meditation and quiet time aren't luxuries for busy leaders, they're accelerators. Stepping back from constant work opens your mind to bigger insights and breakthrough ideas that actually speed up business growth.
I think as leaders we think, oh, I haven't got time to be present, haven't got time to meditate. When actually you're gonna succeed faster by being more present 'cause you're gonna get more ideas, you know, that come.
Oh, 1,000%. And I understand, you know, you feel like you gotta hustle to get the project done, meet the deadline, you wanna hit those goals. What I have found in my many years of running companies and spending a lot of time talking to you, of course, that the more quiet time that I take, the faster my business grows. Because I'm not wasting time spinning at the same place, focused on the minutia. When you step back, that's where you get those bigger picture breakthroughs. Like you said, when the mind is open, you can have those downloads, those light bulb moments that are going to take you much further than that hustling is going to.
Yeah, it's that great saying, isn't it? Slow down to go faster.
