Your Business Shouldn’t Stall — or Get Hit — While You’re on Vacation
Everyone needs time off — but if you're the owner, your vacation doesn't start when you leave. It starts when your business is ready to run without you.
Before you log out, ask yourself if your systems are built to survive without your constant oversight. If not, it's time to tighten things up.
Here are three big things to think about before you take a break:
Access & Approvals:
If only you can log in, approve a transfer, or reset a password — you're not off the clock, you're on-call. Delegate access to trusted staff and make sure backups are in place for essential roles.
Communication Clarity
A vague out-of-office reply creates confusion. A too-detailed one helps hackers. Make sure your team, vendors, and clients know how to get what they need without opening doors to risk.
System Readiness
Unpatched software, expired licenses, and forgotten devices all have a way of acting up when you're offline. Do a mid-year checkup now to keep things quiet while you're away.
Vacation Mode, Not Vulnerable
