Holidays – What have you planned for 2009
It’s very tempting, when you run your own business, not to take time off, to think that your input is too valuable for you to be absent for holidays. The truth is that you need to take some time off, to recharge your batteries. You may even think of a brilliant money-making, time-saving, or business-altering idea whilst you are sunning yourself on the beach or skiing down the piste. You could take a mobile/laptop with you, if you feel that insecure, but limit yourself to one call into the office every few days, or number of minutes on email. You should, of course, have managed your business prior to your departure: advise your clients; use a call handling service, such as mine; or if you employ staff or a virtual assistant, trust them to do a good job. This will then allow you the luxury, or rather the necessity, of a well-earned break, comfortable in the knowledge that the business is being taken care of. So start now, plan those trips and holidays in, whether they around the kids holidays, or your slower time (or hopefully a combination of the two, if you have both to consider!). Planning is the key to ensuring that this works successfully. I’m off to plan mine now, what holidays have you got to look forward to?
