How can going on vacation for a month help you grow your business?
Written by Caleb Scoville on May 2, 2008 – 4:38 pm -I’m getting ready to head to Europe for a gratuitous 30 day vacation. I can’t wait to go and see a part of the world I have never seen before.
Do you want to know the best part?
I’m actually going to MAKE money while I’m gone.
Because I planned this trip months in advance with no plan on how I was going to afford it or how my business was going to run without me, I was forced to get into solution mode. I’ll admit it - I had a few freak-out moments, but what this vacation has forced me to do is get all of my day-to-day business operations either off plate or simplified to the point of automation!
Creating this self-imposed deadline has gotten me out of the “I know I should delegate, but I’m so comfortable where I am” trap and I have now opened up nearly my entire schedule to fill with what I want. Granted - it came with some expenses, but overall - it’s been a huge growth spurt for me and my business.
I’m putting most things on autopilot and deferring most new projects until my return, but the great thing is, when I get back - I won’t be swamped and my business will be ready to launch into the next stage of growth in a way that it never would have been without this vacation.
