Taking time off. What a wonderful concept. Imagine closing down your computer on your last day at work before heading off on vacation, knowing everything is running smoothly and going exactly as it should. Now you're heading to some well-deserved time off where you can truly relax and recharge.

As small business owners, especially solo business owners, it can be really difficult to get to this place. When you're in your first year or two of business, taking time off can seem like something totally unachievable. It's hard to imagine your business continuing and not falling apart if you're not there.

While some of us want to scale and some of us want to keep it just us in our business, learning to take time away is essential because it does allow us to recharge, gain perspective, and offers time for just thinking. Sometimes when we are busy in the day-to-day, it can also be hard to step back and look at the bigger picture.

In this video, we are going to talk about the 5 step process I take for every vacation and period of time off I schedule that has helped me go from being super frazzled and stressed out to recently, having the most relaxed vacation I've had in awhile, where my business continued to run, even while I wasn't there.
