Short personal video message from Greg Faxon encouraging entrepreneurs to take breaks and use their freedom to step away from work for mental-health days. The speaker shares a brief anecdote about abandoning his to-do list to get outside with his dog (Scout) and warns disciplined entrepreneurs not to fall back into a self-imposed 'rat race.'
Hey, everyone. Just wanted to shoot you a quick video and remind you to just get outside, stop doing so much stuff. That's what Scout and I did today. Pretty much abandoned my to do list and just said, you know what? I'm going to take what my mom used to call a mental health day in school. Especially if you're an entrepreneur and the whole reason you're in this business is for freedom. If you're a highly disciplined person, just remind yourself to take advantage of that freedom every now and then, because otherwise you're just back in the rat race. Only you're your own boss and you're kind of an asshole.
