Most contractors take vacation one of two ways: they work the whole time from a hotel room, or they unplug completely and come back to a month of damage. Either way, ten days off turns into a thirty-day hit to the business.
In this episode of Contractor Cuts, Clark and James walk through how to leave for ten days without the company stalling — and why that vacation is one of the best diagnostic tools you have.
They cover:
Why a 10-day vacation can quietly turn into a 30-day revenue drop
How a one-man show preps every active job before leaving
Cutting 28 fires a week down to five you can handle from the road
Building the re-entry before you leave, so you come back to work, not planning
The vacation tracker that lets a project manager cover your jobs without guessing
Setting spending limits and pre-planning crew payments while you're gone
What your time off reveals about your team — who steps up and who doesn't
Why the habits that make vacation possible should become how you run every week
If you haven't taken a real vacation in years, this is the episode that shows you how.
