Ivan,

The complete article is worth reading and the sentence I liked the most,

”Success is many things to many people. To me, it’s having the time to spend in a place I love with the people I love. That is true success”

I totally agree with you in this regards.

Ivan,

Off-beat, but a great topic. Important to keeping your sanity, particularly when things get hectic.

NOTworking is harder to do for entrepreneurial business owners than someone with an employee mentality – they don’t have to worry about making payroll.

Thanks for the great thought!

Daniel

Not working can be very beneficial … personally, that’s when I have time to think of new ideas. Entrepreneurs tend to work harder … and longer than anyone else. Spending some time with the ones you love, in a place you love can be very rewarding.

Ivan,

I just read your article on “Notworking”, and agree with you ten thousand percent I have recently joined many Americans in the wacky world of unemployment. At first, after the roller-coaster ride of emotions calmed down, I was full speed ahead racing towards the next gig. One day, I was annoyed by all the telephone calls (not from prospective employers but from family and friends), that I told a friend it’s good to just slow down. No phone, no TV, no racing, just sit back and enjoy the day. I’ve recently given myself permission to cut off the job hunt by a certain hour (usually my body and interest dictates that), and I then involve myself in projects that I never had the time for while working. I am catching up on reading, clearing clutter, and more importantly learning more about myself. There’s something magical about just “sitting still” and listening.

Ahhh, to have a place on Bear Lake! Now that’s a corner office! We should all aspire to arrive at such a comfortable and rewarding place of peace. Thank you for being a great example of what we should all aspire to.

I agree with you one hundred percent. Though, Happiness is our ultimate goal, we forget it most of the time. Thanks for reminding.

Ivan,

I enjoyed reading about your “notworking” concept and the family traditions. I myself would vote with your daughter for S’mores… extra hot fudge.

You are a great teacher to so many of us and I hope that others are inspired by your connection to nature and your family. Making the most of “notworking” is as important as making the most of “networking” and this blog shares how to do that.

Have a great time at Big Bear!
