Loading ...Taking Time Off
Didn’t we all have visions of ourselves lying on a beach in the Caribbean (sipping on a fruity adult beverage) once our freelance careers took off? I know I did! Even before starting a family, I felt certain I’d be disappearing for a month to kick around and “get inspired.” BOMP! Don’t think so! *sigh*
But why? Why the hell not? Maternity leave proved to me that my client’s weren’t going “hasta manana” me when I took some time off to decompress. So there we have it, I’m not suggesting that everyone go out and get knocked up (especially you guys) but if you have a strong relationship with your clients, you’ll be fine!
Just plan in advance and prepare clients for a break from your brilliance! They’ll love you even more when you get back 
Great Advice…especially for me. Im expecting my first this Sept. And although that time of the year is usually busy for me…people getting last minute Christmas stuff together to send out, etc. Im going to let Sept. happen and just unwind the first two…or more weeks. Im going to be gone in July too, to the Dominican Republic with a team from my church, so I get four weeks off in three months, sounds like a win for me. Ive already started prepping some of my bigger clients in advance.
Keep up the good work
