If you had to step back from your business for a week tomorrow – with no ability to check in on it in the meantime – could you do it? For most business owners, the thought is anxiety-inducing.  That’s how a client of ours, Dan, admitted he felt when he had to take the first major “unplugged” vacation away from his business a few months back. Dan is a filmmaker and business owner who helps other creatives put together mini-movies around messages they want to share, then uses the power of simple advertising to create movements from those mini-movies. Before joining us, Dan confessed that his business felt chaotic and unpredictable. And it wasn’t until Dan went away on vacation and couldn’t check on his business that he had a breakthrough moment that changed the way he operated his business for good (and for the better, too).  To his surprise and delight, he came back to find that everything had been running smoothly in his absence. Want to see how he did it? Listen to the interview we recently did with Dan here where he breaks it down!

Harsh as it may sound, I actually don’t consider a business a “business” without actual systems. It’s just a job that you own. Systems are the reason I spend just a handful of hours on this business (Peaceful Profits), yet it’s still a 7-figure company. It’s also the same reason I’m able to have a couple of other businesses that each do 6 and 7-figures each, and still have time to hang out with my kids during the week. If you’d like my team’s help in building those kinds of “freedom” systems that mean your business can continue to run even if you have to take a vacation then please go here to have a chat with my team. We’re currently helping a bunch of business owners, service providers, and “help” businesses across the world do exactly that ^^^.  I’d love for you to also be one of those businesses.
