The weather is glorious and I can feel the summer holidays on the horizon!
But where to start? Have not fear, let’s dive in!
Remember that NOT taking a break is actually doing a disservice to yourself, your company, and your mental health.
Deciding to take holidays as an entrepreneur can be scary, but all it takes is a little prep work to ensure you can disconnect!
1. Declare Decide on when you’re taking holidays (and stick to it!) Block it off in the calendar now.
2. Plan out logistics Who do you need to hire? How can you make it easy to train them? How long do you need to train someone? What SOPs do you need to record now so that you can bring them on easily?
3. Batch Plan the tasks you need to batch and remember you don’t need to do it all! Consider giving yourself a break to make room for new ideas. Ie: if you know you put out a monthly newsletter, do them well in advance. Same thing with podcasts!
4. Go off grid! Put on that out of office, automatic email response and actually get out of your day-to-day routine!
Holidays are a non-negotiable. You’ll be amazed at the new ideas you can bring to life and the inspiration you’ll gain once you step away for a few days!
