It's almost Thanksgiving in the U.S., and we're entering the beloved—and sometimes dreaded—holiday season. As a business owner, how do you carve out time for holidays and vacations? And for some of us, how do we convince ourselves we should?

 

Explore:

• How to set up your systems in advance, as the business owner, to really take time 100% OFF for your holiday or vacation
• The different types of freedom you have as an employee vs. an owner
• The problem with wearing our "grind, hustle, 50-hour workDAY" as a badge of honor—especially if it's done all year round
• The addiction to checking email on vacation; Alex challenges Lisa to not check her email at all on their upcoming company getaway

 

Optimizer Tip: Structure your pre-vacation prep so that you can relax, knowing your work is covered, with a truly free mindspace when you're away.
