Going on holiday…

Many reading this will empathise with the dilemma of a founder CEO going on holiday for the first time since being a fully up and running social enterprise.  People have been saying for ages that I need to take a holiday.  I know this, so why is it so hard?  It’s not that I don’t trust people to run things whilst I’m away.  It’s not that I think there will be a disaster that only I can deal with.  And it’s not that I think without me opportunities will be missed and things will grind to a halt.  Being honest, part of me will really miss it.  I no longer know who I am in the absence of my business.  It’s who I am and defines me, provides my sense of self and self-esteem.  I remember when I was a teacher I used to worry that after the six weeks summer holiday I may have forgotten how to teach.  I think it’s a bit like that.  I feel I’ll lose the ability to do things at pace, make decisions and achieve all that output.  In reality of course, I’ll be so refreshed that I’ll come back able to do all those things and more.  As well as come back with a whole host of crazy new schemes that I’ve had the headspace to dream up…
