    I take time off when my schedule opens up. Always the last two weeks of the year.

    I take vacation time now, but this was much harder in the earlier days.

    It honestly wasn’t until I started hiring overseas, at more affordable rates, that I could afford the employees I needed to take breaks lol.

    Highly recommend looking into this, if you haven’t already. It’s truly a life changing situation for small business owners.

    We offer paid leave in the easter week and the week between christmas and new year, in addition to four weeks vacation where three weeks are during the summer. I take some of this time off too, but my experience is that the best time for me to really do some important work, is when noone else is around. I am able to focus on developing the business much better when I do not have to care about the day to day-stuff.
