Summer Fun
Shot with an iPhone 4
Last week I did a bit of camping - so if you missed me on Social Media or wondered why I wasn't blogging... I needed to get meetings out of the way and keep clients happy ahead of going away for a few days. One of the meetings I had was with a fellow entrepreneur. He has had a business for around a year. He wondered to me, how does one take vacations when you have your own business. I responded that I'd only taken anything over 3 days off once in 8 years. I generally work mornings when on "workations".
So the camping involved kayaking, swimming, fishing, beer drinking and a very small amount of mountain biking. To those of you that manage a business or are involved so drastically in the day to day that you don't take vacations or only have working vacations: How do you do it? Do you attach 4 days to a business trip to get some deep sea fishing in? Do you throw a couple days in at the beginning and end to spend with family on the slopes? Perhaps you don't take vacations, you just ensure that you have 2 hours in the middle of each day to eat lunch with your kids and play a little Wii or go cycling. Maybe golf is your game and you set up as many business meetings as you can for the links.
Tell me your business/pleasure stories.
