Who Else Works On “dumb” Business Ideas For A Mental Break?

Card image cap

Sometimes you just gotta work on a business idea unrelated to your work so you don’t feel guilty. Yes, sometimes you can just turn the brain off and watch a great show (highly recommend The Pitt) but it doesn’t always work for me.

This weekend I’m going to work on an ongoing business idea for a game (trying to be a poker killer which is why everyone calls it a dumb idea). I’ve been working on it for years.

The secret is to get everything off the to-do list. I make sure everyone knows what I’m planning and all is delegated.

For context, I advise hundreds of founders and I’m the managing partner for a portfolio of companies. I also speak with investors non stop and it’s pretty intense right now in the markets.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. I love my job. But vacations never worked for me. My mind doesn’t turn off.

Anybody else like this? Maybe you can give this a try. Or maybe you have techniques of your own I should try myself.
