One Simple Change Can Be Remarkably Rewarding

I no longer schedule client calls on Mondays. No ghostwriting or coaching calls.

This gives us three days to shift our location, which last week we did by driving to the Oregon coast and then up to Bellingham in Washington. This morning, I have a new "office" in a new town, which invigorates me and ultimately helps me produce better results for my clients.

In the coming weeks, my office will be in Vermont and then New York

(Even better, my normal office/home generates rental income while we wander.)

This single change—no calls on Monday—has produced remarkable rewards. We've hiked in Moab, relaxed by energy vortexes in Sedona, walked along the beach in Malibu, and met people all around the country.

When I first considered making this shift, my initial instinct was to reject it. What, I thought, was the point of having one more day to travel, only to still have to work four days in a new location? When our brains get stuck in the old ways, it can be hard at first to see all the new possibilities.

But right now, I'm looking at a bamboo grove out the window. Earlier this morning, I walked our dogs past a vegetable garden and a small pond with a dragon sculpture rising up from its waters. Change is energizing and provocative, and those are very good things for a creative person like me.

I'm not suggesting that you need to take one extra day off a week, although you might.

I'm suggesting that one simple change might have larger rewards than you imagine.

In fact, I bet that lots of people reading these words have already made such a change. If so, please share your experiences here, so that others can learn and be inspired.
