The Three Month Vacation
Love Your Work | Love Your Vacation
I made two vows when I started Psychotactics
The first was that I'd always get paid in advance and the second was that work wouldn't control my life. And yes, I decided to take three months off every year.
But how do you take three months off, without affecting your business and profits?
Do you buy into the myth of “outsourcing everything and working just a few hours a week?” Not really. Instead, you structure your business in a way that enables you to put your heart and soul in your work–and then take three months off every single year. Since 2004, we’ve taken three months off every year (except in 2005, when there was a medical emergency).
Why is this podcast different?
There are hundreds of thousands of podcasts available both for Android as well as iPhones. So why bother subscribing to “The Three Month Vacation”?
Reason 1: There’s about three minutes of blah, blah right at the end. That’s the part when I tell you about events, products etc. But other than that, this podcast is very carefully scripted so you get rich, doable information. The goal is not to impress you. Instead, every podcast is designed to cover just one topic using three different steps. And when you’re done, you get a single action step, so you can get started right away.
Reason 2: The podcast hovers around the 20-minute mark. Yet it takes between 4-5 hours to produce. So what’s happening in all this production time? The first element is music. Unlike other podcasts where the music is something that’s behind the scenes, you’ll find the music to be non-interfering, yet prominent. You’ll begin to love the music as much as the content itself.
Many podcasts have a ton of blah, blah—and more blah. The “Three Month Vacation” podcast doesn’t bury you—it empowers you. And yes, if you feel empowered, please do leave a review.
So, how do you subscribe to this free podcast?
