With my first non-working holiday around the corner (and two other getaways before that) I've been in prep mode to get everything organised for my travels. When we have a business of our own we have many perks, but unfortunately not the perk of annual leave pay like we get when working a job. So in this episode I share my strategy for how I'm navigating my business while I adventure around Europe.

See more of the BTS of my business and travels over on @shahnasarpi. I'd love if you reach out to say hello, share any of your key take aways or let me know if you like these kinds of episodes and want more of them.
