IN PR, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FLY ABOVE TO SEE CLEARER
Am in San Diego this weekend after spending a few days in our rapidly growing LA office… What a beautiful amazing city San Diego is. I can see where many would talk about this as the greatest city in the U.S. to raise a family.
Being away on business always allows me to step back and see business clearly – consider angles I couldn’t see earlier, reflect on operations without being bogged down with details. A close friend of mine here, a very successful entrepreneur is training to be a pilot and flies once a week and said “Flying allows me to see things from way above – To analyze real estate from a higher angle to see things from above without clouds.” He’s so right… and while I am not yet ready to start flying, as much as I hate travelling I do enjoy the clarity that being away allows me to have when it comes to business… and recommend a few days away regularly for entrepreneurs. Get away and think clearer.
An after thought – I love NYC and can never see myself living anywhere else – The speed, the culture. WOW.

I also do it regularly for the same reasons you brought out. Glad to hear that It helps others too. I once thought that getting away from work would might cause problems.
