LOOK : 8 Tips To Take a Vacation With a Busy Schedule

The Surveys are really interesting. There is a one done recently by American Express (AE) because it backed up some data at the NAFE National Conference in May. According to it, about 40% of the smallest business owners, those with less than $250,000 in revenues annually, are not planning to any vacation this summer. But also business owners with bigger revenues aren't doing much better - only about 74% of them expect to get away from the business this summer.

As it was mentioned at the NAFE Conference, even those business owners who get away from the office, won't truly go far. Fairly, one in three will link his trip time to a business vacation and 60% will still check in with the business at least twice a day.

 According to the survey, business owners  can't let go, because of many reasons, for example:
1. An important customer may not receive a proper service

 2. The business may miss out on a new opportunity

 3. There's no other competent person who can be in charge

 4. The people left in charge may make wrong decisions
For all those reasons, It may seem difficult for a business owner to take any type of vacation. But with some tips, preparation and good control you can boost the pleasure level of your time off to come back renewed and ready to take new challenges. Here are 8 tips to take a Vacation With a Busy Schedule:↚

 1. Make always a plan so you can avoid surprises, produce a list of situations on your current projects and Business and brief your staff on the possibilities and your main concerns about each customer. Assign particular staff to every client so there is someone that clients can go to who understands their matters when you aren't there.

2. Offer your key customers advance notice of any long absence you are planning to do. There's no cause to keep your travel schedule a secret. Introduce them to your deputy and move your confidence in their ability to manage any problems that may appear. If appropriate, consider letting them know how to contact you should a true emergency issue.↚

3. They say "Leadership is a delegator, not a dictator", If you have never delegated important tasks to others, then you can't expect them to be ready to be in your place when you want to take a vacation. If you want to build confidence that good things will happen when you aren't there, learn to delegate duties.

4. Plan your vacations to coincide with those lulls and slow season or times of the year when the pace is slower, or at least a bit less crazy. ↚

5. If you just can't let go of the business for a couple of weeks, and you can't stay far away from the office, try taking a week out of town or extend some days somewhere else. taking a break and escape from routine can do wonders for your perspectives and re-energize you.

6. When you do take your vacation, don't forget to turn off your phone, and don't bring out the laptop, don't check your mail, don't bring your work with you and evade the temptation to call or visit the office to check up on what is happening. What we mean by that is you must disconnect entirely, and don't worry they will find you If there's an emergency they can't handle.↚

7. Sharpen your skills, If you just can't explain taking a vacation to relax, then take time off to learn something new, business or personal. Taking a continuing education course is a low cost and it's a useful way to break from your office routine, try new things and meet new people. Some programs are three-five days off-site if that fits your schedule properly.

8. Don't forget to keep your priorities straight, when you go through listing the things you care about, is your business really deserve number one? what about outside of work? family and friends, spending time with the kids, developing personal interests, staying healthy or pursuing a hobby. To regain stability in your life, you need to keep work, family and personal time in perspective. Those other priorities help you find more happiness in your time away from the business, and in life in general.
