If your answers to these questions make you cringe, let me help. I want to support you in taking your life back from your business.

In 1998, Chuck Parmely, and his wife, Cynthia, became the owners of the Overhead Door Company of Riverton-Lander in Wyoming, which began as a family business.

As you are listening to this episode, I’m on my 4 week vacation®️, but I did not forget about you! I want to keep you inspired and motivated about what’s possible, so I’m bringing you another 4 week vacation®️ story that is full of fun. We are featuring this encore edition of Ep. 28 with John Briggs, founder, and CEO of Incite Tax Works, who took a 4 week vacation®️ at the height of tax season. We recorded this interview in March 2019, when John was two weeks away from his 4 week vacation®️. We talked about the necessary mindset shifts as you prepare for a 4 week vacation®️, along with a critical, last-minute hiring piece that had to fall into place for John. Also worth noting, John was in the process of writing his first book, Profit First for Microgyms, which is now in print.  When you’re starting on this journey, it may feel like you have a huge mountain to climb before your 4 week vacation®️ is a possibility. Remember that it truly is a journey of small steps forward taken in a consistent direction that lead to big change over time. If you want to take a fully unplugged 4 week vacation®️, connect with us and make the 4 Week Vacation®️ Pledge today! Let us support you in making this dream a reality for YOU!   Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.   Show Highlights: Why it feels surreal to John to take a 4 week vacation®️ in the height of tax season How the book Clockwork by Michael Michalowicz became a personal challenge for John How John prepared for three years to make his 4 week vacation®️ happen Why entrepreneurs have to make a critical mindset shift in delegating responsibilities to their team members Why it’s important to trust your team members and even thank them for their mistakes Key first steps in preparation for John: making a list and implementing systems How John struggled with key hires and found help through Dr. Sabrina and the How to Hire the Best system How John created a remarkable recruitment marketing video to convey how Incite Tax Works is different–and to attract the right team members What John is planning for his 4 week vacation®️ An overview of John’s book, Profit First for Microgyms, and his Five Day Cash Challenge Links and Resources:   Connect with John and Incite Tax Works: Website, Profit First for Microgyms, and John’s Free Five Day Cash Challenge   See John’s recruiting video here in our Great Place to Work spotlight.  Make the 4 Week Vacation®️ Pledge:  www.tapthepotential.com/pledge   Join the Better Business Better Life Jumpstart.

Guess what? I’m on a 4-week vacation right now, but I didn’t want to leave you without regular content. I’ve chosen to fill these slots with some of our best interviews with business owners who have taken 4-week vacations. I want to inspire you with what’s possible for YOU! Today’s episode is an interview from 2018 with Steve Bousquet, and we spoke the day after he returned from a 4-week vacation. I hope that, in the midst of the challenges and pain of entrepreneurship, you are inspired to make the 4 Week Vacation Pledge®️. I want you to be the next business owner that we support and celebrate in taking a 4-week vacation. You deserve it!   Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.   Show Highlights: Dr. Sabrina is writing a book, The 4 Week Vacation®️, documenting what happens in a business from the moment that a business owner commits to taking a 4-Week Vacation until the time they take it. She will go deeper into what's involved in a later episode.  You can download Dr. Sabrina's 4-Week Vacation Jumpstart Guide right now. Go to www.drsabrinastarling.com/jumpstart. Steve talks about the 4 Week Vacations he's taken before, the first of which was not a “vacation” but rather an extended absence following an injury. Steve discusses what his business was like back when he had to take an unplanned six weeks off work in 2014.  The preparations and plans that Steven made, and why he made them,  before taking his unplanned six-week vacation. How Steve's business grew 6% without him being around.  Steve is still working on getting out of the way. The way that Steve implemented Pumpkin Plan and Profit First. The difference that having things clearly defined and money properly managed made to Steve's business. This time around, Steve took his 4 Week Vacation after growing the company by acquiring another business. Successfully doubling the business and integrating new team members smoothly at the same time. Steve's secret to keeping his staff for a really long time. Traveling to ten different businesses across southern America to get a different perspective and to get out of the way of his people's talents. The benefits of taking time off from your business.  How to start getting out of your own way in your business. Bringing in new people to train for unique roles and key functions and working through the pushbacks. The things that became really clear to Steve after taking four weeks off. The struggles that come with running a small business.  Always keep your eye on your mission. The importance of understanding the numbers. Hitting profit targets every year by implementing processes. Steven got really serious about watching his numbers in 2012 by using only three books- Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profit by Greg Crabtree, Accounting For The Numberphobic by Dawn Fotopulos, and Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. Tripling his company profit since the 2008 recession due to understanding the numbers.

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.

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.

Small business owners deserve a 4-week vacation! Unfortunately, too many entrepreneurs think that’s impossible and way out of reach for them. I’m on a mission to change that mindset and help small business owners take back their lives from their businesses. This is what we do at Tap the Potential every single day. We are in a series of podcast episodes around this topic to show entrepreneurs how to take a fully unplugged 4-week vacation.   In last week’s episode, we talked about the mindset shift that has to happen for you to prepare your business to grow and sustain itself if you step away for one week, two weeks, or that 4-week vacation. We also discussed the dynamic of over-functioning/under-functioning with your team, along with delegating tasks and focusing on $ 10,000-an-hour activities. If you missed Part 1, go back and listen now! Today’s topic is how to set your team up for success, which is a key piece to your 4-week vacation. Let’s get started!   Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.   Show Highlights:   The key mindset in setting our A-players up for success (“A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” –Zig Ziglar) Four components to set your team up to make decisions effectively without you:  Your Compelling, Vivid Vision  Immutable Laws Field of Play Filter Questions (We will cover this element in next week’s episode.) What is your Compelling, Vivid Vision? (Don’t be afraid to dream big!) How to 10x your sweet spot (From 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy) How your Immutable Laws function as the guardrails of your business How to identify your Immutable Laws How to use the Field of Play concept to make work more like a game (From The Game of Work by Charles Coonradt) How to identify “out of bounds” rules, expectations, and opportunities for feedback with team members Take action!

Is your business taking over your life? This is an important question to ask as you check in with yourself. It may be more accurate to ask the people around you what they are seeing. We business owners focus on putting out daily fires in our business to the point that we have no awareness of how other people see us, and those whom we love the most are watching us struggle and suffer. Don’t we owe it to them (and ourselves) to do better?   I wrote the book, The 4 Week Vacation, to help business owners learn that work supports life and not the other way around. We developed our Better Business Better Life Jumpstart to help entrepreneurs and small business owners learn to recognize the signs that their businesses are taking over their lives so they can stop the cycle before it accelerates to burnout. In today’s episode, I want to give you some important questions to ask to help you figure out if your business is taking over your life, along with steps you can take to reverse the trend.   Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.   Show Highlights:   Questions to ask yourself and journal about: What has suffered in my life because of my business? How have the people closest to me been impacted by my business? What experiences have I missed or said NO to? In what ways have I neglected self-care? What dreams have I pushed away or let go of because of my business? What would I do if I could free up an extra 10 hours each week? How to dream of more and create a better future How to explore ideas and let new insights and awareness come to you Why you need to make the 4 Week Vacation Pledge (See Episode 245 for more info!)

Believe it or not, the month of May is winding down, and I want to acknowledge Mental Health Awareness Month with a topic that is vitally important for EVERY entrepreneur. Your mental health matters! It is important for you to take good care of yourself, check in with yourself, and understand where you are in relation to burnout. I know burnout; I’ve been there, I’ve studied it, and I know how hard it is to come out of a season of burnout.   Burnout is not fun for you or your loved ones, and it’s not a healthy situation for you, your mental health, or your business. Join me for a closer look.   Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.   Show Highlights: The greatest challenge in growing our businesses Why you might have an overweight business Burnout is normal—and what our research shows Are you the “frog in the pot of boiling water”? Signs of burnout–Watch out for these red flags! Why you MUST set limits and boundaries in your business How improvement in your business feels empowering and helps you progress in eliminating burnout Why vacations and time away (and unplugged) are essential Are you ready to make the 4 Week Vacation Pledge?

Welcome to this episode, where we dive into the challenges of leadership in small businesses. During my recent travels and interactions with small business owners and entrepreneurs, a recurring theme emerged in our conversations. Many business owners approached me, seeking advice on the difficulties they face in leading their organizations. It struck me how prevalent this question was: Why is it so hard to lead in our small businesses? Let's explore why this challenge exists and recognize that while you excel in your area of expertise, there is little formal training available on leading in the context of a small business. So, join me as we delve into this important topic and uncover valuable insights along the way.   Figuring out people and learning how different people handle relationships and anxiety were the things that prompted my interest in psychology, which led me to get a Ph.D. in counseling psychology. I wanted to help people with their challenges—and I still do. It is perfectly normal to struggle with learning to lead, but it is SO important on many levels. Your leadership and your ability to build a team and delegate impact your profitable revenue and growth. In Episode 238, I did a deep dive into getting out of your own way to be profitable in your business; go back and listen to learn more. That episode ties into today’s topic because learning to lead in your small business is the key to your profitability and freeing up your time so you can take your life back.   Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.   Show Highlights: How I handled growing pains in my business in the early years when I faced a capacity issue and needed to hire someone to help How to address the gaps and blind spots when you are pulled in multiple directions (This happens as you go from the “selling and doing” phase to the “hiring and leading” phase.) How having systems in place can keep us from going down the slippery slope of self-doubt Why your focus has to shift from doing ALL the client-facing delivery and selling to growing leaders from your team members How having the wrong “warm bodies” in your business will multiply your leadership problems and deplete your confidence Are you on the slippery slope of doubting your leadership? Look at the quality of the people you are trying to lead. How A-players will give honest feedback about your leadership–without the sting Other factors that make leadership hard in a small business: Limited resources (You have to be innovative!) High turnover (Our How to Hire the Best Course can help you become an employer of choice!) How a coach/mentor can help broaden your limited perspective with valuable feedback How taking care of yourself with exercise, good sleep, meditation, and journaling can help you let go of leadership mistakes and improve your success Links and Resources: I’m looking for 150 entrepreneurs who are ready to commit to taking a 4 Week Vacation. If that’s you, email me sabrina@tapthepotential.com. Tell me you are making the 4 Week Vacation Pledge, your target date, and why it’s important to you.
