Unplugged and Signing Off the Grid Grid for Now

December 16, 2009 Personality on the Side 6 Comments

Until January, I will be unplugged and off the power grid. I believe as an entrepreneur and small business owner, it is nearly impossible to separate out your business and personal life. After all these years, I no longer try.

As a result, once (or twice) a year, I go on a long vacation where I do not check email, voice mail or any other social network. I simply can’t be reached. This is the one time of year I don’t offer “BAM! Good” service to my clients.

It is the only way I can truly let go and be on the trip with my family.

Happy Holidays and I look forward to contributing in the New Year!

    You too- glad to have met you in 2009

  3. Love it Barry. I tried to do this a few weeks ago and then my 21 month old ended up in the ER and it was back to the grid for me. I hope your much-deserved vacation is fun and relaxing, and I’m looking forward to our work together in 10!

    Kind Regards,

  5. Barry,

    This is great! My wife and I were talking today and I said I would love to take off from Thanksgiving through New Year’s and do a couple of vacations in that time like NYC for the decorations and shopping, maybe a tropical trip or even a cruise.

    When you work from home it is hard to separate work from home life and it begins to become a blur.

    Hope you have a great time!

    Happy Holidays!

    Glenn
