How to Take a 4 Week Vacation® Part 3

Thanks for joining me for the third of a three-part series about how you CAN take a 4 week vacation®️ from your business. I am ramping up for my 4 week vacation®️, which is only two weeks away! I love having the time off for fun and family time, but I also love what happens with my team when I am away. My amazing team is gearing up to take ownership and implement the plans we have put into place, and our success team is rocking it so that I don’t have any worries about stepping away. They are ready to shine!

Melissa Swire, our lead strategist, posted in our Mighty Networks community and on social media this week to say that if you’re not working on taking a short vacation, you’re leaving money on the table. That is so true! To fully implement a 4 week vacation®️ and do it successfully, you want to follow the Tap the Potential Solution, which is a model to make your business much more efficient, and efficiency leads to increased profitability AND more time freedom for you.

Everything included in this three-part series is found in The 4 Week Vacation®️ book, so pick up your copy if you haven’t yet done so. In Part 1 of this series, I talked about the dynamics you may have unintentionally created on your team around over-functioning/under-functioning. We also discussed the art of delegation and trading up your time to work on $10K an hour activities. Part 2 focused on setting your team up for success around three critical items. Be sure to check out Episodes 248 and 249 for all the good stuff on those topics. Today’s Part 3 teaches you decision-making tools to share with your team so they can make the best decisions whether you are present or absent.
