Last week my wife and I took a vacation to Turks and Caicos. Turks and Caicos is in the Caribbean close to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. It is a beautiful country with many islands, but only 30,000 people. I love vacations because of the time I get to spend with my family (no kids on this trip), time I get to relax, and because vacations help my business become more successful. On this podcast I talk all about why your business needs to be set up so that you can take vacations, and why vacations are so important. I see many business owners who are the business, they have to constantly be involved for things to run. They are afraid to hire help because of the cost, they are afraid to give up control, and they don't have the time to make big changes. To have a successful business it must be able to run without you. When you are not working in the business constantly, you have time to look at the big picture and make decisions that will make you more successful. Vacations are a great time to clear your head, relax, and let ideas come to you.
