One Tip To Help You Take A Month Off

Wanna take off over a month in your business?

Well, I was chatting with a client just the other day. He's gonna be having a baby. He wants to take at least two weeks off but it hasn't been preplanned really enough so that's what we were doing. We were going through the list of what problems might crop up while he was gone. 

And what we found was he didn't have an escalation process. Pretty much the people on his team are really smart but pretty much everybody only knows sort of the level one skillset. So, everyone was just going to him because he had a higher level skillset. Well, if he has a baby and they can't actually contact him, what are they going to do? 

So, we highlighted the one person on his team that could really be an amazing second level of support, once they get enough knowledge. That's not helpful when we're having a baby really soon but what is helpful is realizing that you have that knowledge gap. 

That knowledge gap can be filled by a contractor, or somebody that might not be able to do absolutely level one, oh my gosh, the emergency is on fire kind of thing, they can call the owner for that if necessary. But the goal is to have those smaller problems that if takes a day or two to get back to him, not a big deal. A contractor can do that for you. 

So, I highly recommend. That will save you so much time. Make sure you don't have any of those knowledge gaps, where everybody is coming to you. That's one perfect way to start working yourself out of the role of problem-solver for everyone. So, you can eventually take a month off with ideally no cell phone ever. 

Have an amazing day.
