Mike Michalowicz says owners should block out four consecutive weeks 12 to 18 months ahead and take a completely digital-free vacation. Removing yourself forces the business to run without you, exposing weak processes and pushing your team to build systems that actually scale.
What about bringing more order and efficiency to your organization? How do you do it? You can do it in one simple step. You can do it today if this is the weakest link in your organization. But this may give you the, the scare of a lifetime. It takes about 3 minutes to do it. Go into your calendar, scroll forward at least 1 year. You can go up to 18 months, but no further out. Find a 4-week block. Block out all 4 consecutive weeks for a vacation from your business. A 4-week vacation. If you take 4 weeks with no physical connection to your business, a full digital disconnect. Your business has to operate efficiently without you. And this is the only way I've been able, with all the companies I've ever worked with, to force that.
