Kenny Chapman takes a 24-hour solo retreat every 90 days to recharge and stay sharp as a leader. He treats mental diet like physical diet, and says the space away from email and business keeps him able to transfer power to others.
Hey, my friends, Kenny Chapman here, the blue collar coach coming to you with.
A little freedom Friday focus from beautiful Santa Monica, California. Although it is a little chilly, there.
Is a reason I moved to Scottsdale and not Santa Monica. Whoo.
It's cold. But nonetheless, talking about being cold, talking about warming up, talking about energy today. So here's the thing. Once a quarter, I personally come here myself to get recharged, to take a personal strategic day. So I believe in rechargin batteries various different ways. And I think that oftentimes taking true free time is overlooked. True free time, 24 hours, midnight to midnight.
No business, no business reading, no emails, none of that kind of stuff.
That stuff is very, very powerful. You've got to create space and time.
In your life in order to recharge.
Now sometimes we think about recharging though, and we forget that you can actually.
Recharge from a business standpoint. You can recharge from a growth standpoint, you can recharge from an education standpoint and a learning standpoint. Every 90 days I come here by myself. Sometimes the lovely Christy travels with me. But Justin doesn't go in that room with me. Christy doesn't go in that room. Nobody goes in that room with me other than the friends that I've met and the like minded people that are now there. But why? Because Kenny needs to recharge. Kenny needs some strategic focus. Kenny needs some time to go. What's going on in this crazy noggin? Why? Because I'm a leader, Because I'm an energy source. Because I transfer power to other people.
To help them create the power that.
They have and unleash the true have and remind them of the greatness that they have within them that they sometimes have gotten forgot about. And the world kind of tries to suck it out of you and take it out of you. So here's the thing. Yes, we're in a coaching and development company and that's because we change people's lives. It doesn't matter where you get your coaching or development, on the Internet, on YouTube, reading different books, whatever that is. But you've got to create some space, right? Your mind is a reflection of the food that you give it. No different than your body is a reflection of the food that you give it. If you want to change your physiology, you begin putting something different in your mouth. You begin on a different type of a diet. What about your mental, what about your creating space? What about your capacity to go take a step back? Have you set your email reminder? Send me an email today you're going to get. It's going to go to Ashley or Mark because I'm not checking email today because I need space. Because I work hard, I play hard, I dive in and go, you know, 100 miles an hour. A lot. Guess what? You can't drive a car like that. You got to stop and fuel up. You got to stop and change the oil. We're the same yoke, the same as a thought leader, as a top producer in whatever your field is and what you do. You got a little more. Take a step back, get recharged this weekend. And we got to see more because you got it in you, and I want to see it. It's 18, baby. Talk to you soon. Cheers.
