In this connected age, people have different definitions for vacation or different strategies for how they go about taking time away from work.
Some people remain loosely plugged into the office, with scheduled check-ins by phone, even if from a beach chair on some warmer shore. Some continue to monitor and respond to emails, keeping projects on schedule.
Technology may have changed the way workers vacation, for better or worse. "In this day and age, with technology, you think you have to be plugged in at all times," said Byron Hebert, CPA, director of entrepreneurial advisory services at PKF Texas, a CPA firm in Houston. "You're never really off."
Many CPAs find it difficult to completely disconnect. No doubt, it has something to do with managing inboxes, keeping clients happy, and making sure projects are on track. But with modern professionals’ ties to technology, especially in firms with a high-pressure corporate culture, it’s more important than ever to give overloaded brains a break.
That's where The Unplugged Vacation comes in.
You've done a great job growing your accounting practice. Your clients are happy, your employees are busy, and you feel like you've accomplished your dream of being a successful CPA firm owner.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could step away from your office for once and go on vacation with your family or friends without dragging your laptop with you and being chained to your email?
Wouldn't it feel great to know you have systems in place that work for you instead of you working for them?
This CPE-E-Book on Personal Development will help accounting firm owners and CPAs just like you to build a new vision for their practices while setting up very simple systems and processes to give them freedom from their business and still ensure their company's success.
Here's to your next vacation being your best vacation!
