Gone fishin'
It's very difficult for me to get away on vacation. It's the burden of a small business. But this week I managed (or shall I say am managing) to do it. It does take a little preparation to make it work. Tell all your clients that your business will be closed while you are away. Give some advance notice, too. And perhaps an emergency alternative contact. Better still, schedule a regular vacation the same time each year and tell your clients you will be "closed" at this time. And don't budge on it. Complete any projects and deliver anything you've promised before leaving. Create a "vacation" message for both voice- and e-mail. Enjoy the break. This is your time to refresh. When you get back, pick up where you left off.
