On today's episode I want to tell you about the awesome time I had up in Alaska and just take a moment to really stress the importance of vacation time. My family and I went up to the Kesugi Ridge Trail and hiked 32 miles over the course of four days. During my time away there were some issues with the business, but I have built a self-sufficient team, so I was still able to enjoy my trip. Hiking that trail showed me some parallels to running an e-commerce business. If you are interested in seeing some of the sights, then there is a link below to a video I took on the hike. Here are today's topics: My hike on the Kesugi Ridge Trail. Why entrepreneurs need to take vacations from time to time. The benefits of going somewhere without internet service. How my team handled some business crises while I was gone. Why building a good team is important for your business. My future plans to hike in Hawaii. I would like to remind our listeners that I am still looking for a Director of Ecommerce. Episode 74 of the podcast outlines what I am looking for in that position.
