Small Agency Growth Alliance

Taking a sabbatical from the agency you own

Have you ever wished you could take several months — or even a year — away from your own agency? Many of you have been reconsidering your priorities over the past year, so you may be wondering how you can explore other passions or simply recharge your batteries in a deeper way.

It’s not easy to take time off from any small business, but especially a small agency where others often think of the firm and the individual as one entity.

Taking a proper sabbatical requires great planning, strong processes, and solid rules of the road.

In this episode, Chip and Gini talk about some of the things that you should be considering if this is something you might want to do sooner or later. Many of the steps are the same things you should be doing to get your business operating efficiently anyway, but there are a few things unique to stepping away from your own business temporarily.
