When did you last take a holiday?

By Andee Sellman on July 9, 2009 in Management

Many business owners feel stuck in their business and feel unable to take a holiday.

Why do you think this is the case?

Normally it is because the business owner is working in the business without drawing a wage and in order to take a holiday they have to find someone to do the same as them. Someone who will work for NOTHING.

These people normally don’t exist outside immediate family (who you hope would come on holiday with you) and so the business owner soldiers on getting more and more tired.

The good news is that you deserve to draw a wage and the sooner you start paying yourself a market wage for your position, the closer you will be to correct profitability by getting your prices right, and on the way to being able to take a well deserved holiday.
