I run a fairly small business and am worried about what would happen if I were to become ill. I also find it difficult to take leave because I’m concerned about the impact that my absence would have on my business. What changes can I make in my business that will allow me to step away from the business occasionally?
Sustainability in your business is key to ensuring that it will survive a crisis, should one occur – or even just your absence on holiday. While employing capable management is a step in the right direction, it’s important to be able to delegate tasks so that they are empowered to run the business in your absence.
By hiring the right people and giving them the training and information that they need, you are ensuring that your business will carry on as usual should you need to step away from it, whatever the reason.
