Key Takeaways
- Create a life that is simple, not busy.
- If you are feeling overwhelmed, it is a good idea to take a break. It’s okay to put everything aside for awhile so that you can reevaluate your priorities.
- Embrace and cherish the moments you have with your children; younger or older, because they will be gone soon. You want to spend as much time as you can with them.
- Focus on what your really good at. Your unique ability. Embrace the things your good at and let go of the things your not.
- Events are a great way to get your product/ service out. Bring the people through the door.

Great interview about not being a slave to your business. Small business owners need to work on their business not in their business. Make sure you leave time for the important things in life, like your family.
Agreed. I love how Mark made the difficult choices and actions to take a sabbatical.
