Do you want to have the best summer ever and be off the grid without worrying about your business?? If your answer is YES, then what do you need in order to fulfill this? And how can you best prepare your team for this temporary transition of power?

As business owners, we often struggle with the idea of taking a vacation. And owning a business means that your list of responsibilities is endless. This may lead to stress and burnout which can negatively impact our health, so making time to relax is crucial! The key to making your pleasure trip the best summer ever and totally unplugging yourself from your business are strategic planning, SOUL, boundaries and inspired ownership. These four components will help you better prepare for your worry-free vacation. And it will assist you in keeping your business running smoothly and successfully even when you're away so that you can take the time to actually feel relaxed and rejuvenated and set up for success for the rest of the year.

On this episode of Lean Out Your Business Podcast, I am back with Annie P. Ruggles. She is the fractional CMO of my team and the founder of Quirk Works Consulting & The Non-Sleazy Sales Academy, where she harnessed her Hulk-like disdain for hard-sales, tacky self-promotion, and overly competitive sleazeballs as inspiration to help people find better ways to grow their small business. And we will discuss how to enjoy your summer without that constant sense of dread and feeling that you need to be paying attention to your business. 

“I trust my team. I take a bullet for my team. My team would take a bullet for me. They're so committed to me, and they're building out my dream every day.” - Annie P. Ruggles
