Attract the Right Job or Clientele:  

Vacation Preparation Enables Business Continuity

Many are preparing to take vacation; it is the planning that enables business continuity upon your return.  In either case, time should be spent anticipating what will be expected of us while we are gone.  This applies to career, business and the job hunt too.

My own checklist may help you to facilitate what needs to be taken care of ahead of time and perhaps alleviate some stress:

Calendar

Review your calendar for anything mistakenly still appearing on the days you will be gone.  Your mind will be distracted while away, and so it’s best to reschedule everything you may ahead of time.  In the event you Have To take the call, then create an alarm prior to leaving for the holiday so as not to forget.

Follow-up: Preparation Enables Business Continuity

Review your lists of pending clientele and current clientele.  Revisit your calendar in regard to your return.  Make note of when you need to follow-up to schedule meetings and continue conversations.

Advance Work

In my own case, instead of promising myself to work on vacation, I do my best to create a surplus of what is needed in terms of articles and other projects ahead of time.  I commit to completing significantly more each day beginning a week or two in advance.  This way, I am able to fully enjoy vacation.

Projects for Return

Give thought to the new projects you have in mind for last quarter of the year.  List them out along with initial steps for each.  Otherwise, it will be a headache trying to recall what specifically needs to get done when you return due to your more relaxed state of mind.

Getting a handle on all that needs to be done ahead of schedule will help you to avoid having to scramble getting back to work.  Instead, you realize that vacation preparation enables business continuity.

Review Summer Success

Generally speaking, less business is conducted during the summer.  The slower pace provides more time for further education or formulating new ideas.  Recall what your favorite moments were during the summer and why that might be the case.  This may provide impetus for furthering that particular venue or creating something complementary.  By fondly recalling the summer season, you will be getting yourself into the mindset of being on vacation.

Return to the Office

It always takes me a few days to get back into the frame of mind of a full day’s work.  Review your client list once again to see who lives near by and that you enjoy.  Invite that person to lunch as your guest.  Doing so will further develop your relationship and helps you to ease into the work routine awaiting you.
