Blueprint #35: The Ultimate Test: Can Your Business Run Without You? (Plus, a Hilarious Team Photo!)

Lesson: Delegation and Trust

There is nothing that tests your business systems and operations quite like leaving your team to operate without you. This summer, I took a truly unplugged vacation – a chance to disconnect and recharge. It was an amazing experience, but also a true test for my business. Could my team handle everything without me?

Insight: Thanking Your Team Builds a Stronger Team

The answer? A resounding YES! I'm incredibly grateful to my amazing colleagues, Jamie Rosenberg and Maeve Driscoll, for keeping the ship sailing smoothly while I was gone. They manage my core businesses providing fractional ops/finance services for growing businesses at FYA | Forever Young Agency, and coach dozens of small businesses as part of The Owners Club.

Speaking of team spirit, check out the hilarious photo from our work trip last year! (Can you spot the accidental Wayne and Garth?) 

Actionable Item: Celebrate and Recognize Your Team

A strong team is the backbone of any successful business. Take a moment this week to celebrate your team's achievements. Thank them publicly for their hard work and dedication. Recognition goes a long way in boosting morale and building a team that truly has your back.
