In today's episode, I am so excited to welcome Jill Carr as a guest in this little mini-series on taking a break from your business. Jill recently took a 12-week maternity leave from her business to welcome a new family member, completely disconnecting from her business. She shares her journey of preparing her team to handle everything in her absence, highlighting the importance of planning, delegation, and trusting your team. 

In this episode, I cover: 

• The common misconception that certain business tasks are too vital to hand off, and how, with thoughtful planning, a truly restorative maternity leave or break is possible
• Strategies for ensuring business continuity through effective delegation and the creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Various tools that you can use to help record tasks and streamline processes, making it easier for team members to step in and manage client work seamlessly
• The power of effective communication with clients and team members to prepare them for leadership shifts, ultimately creating a more resilient and sustainable business structure
