I allow myself to check my emails when on vacation just to make sure my team is supported.
This jumped out at me. Love it! You might not have kids, but you have a business to raise :) I am sure your staff appreciate your support, even when you're trying for 'me time'. You gotta keep steering the ship; there is no GPS for absent owners.
My cry for help was my business coach.
How did you find the right coach?
How did this realign things?
What was the most important piece of advice they gave you?
I just googled a coach and we worked together for 7 years. Working with him helped me to talk to someone who understands. Check in with him to make sure I was on the right path. Being a business owner is lonley and some issues/challenges you can't discuss with your team.
Not as much as he gave me advice but more his experience share. A lot of his clients struggle with the same challenges and he sees what is working for others and if you can implement.
