*Did you miss last week's Hold Your Haunches Edition? Check it out HERE!
When we were offered the chance to hang a "Gone Fishing" shingle on the cyber door of Hold Your Haunches this week, it was of our first instinct to gleefully accept an opportunity to skirt our blog posting responsibilities. This snap decision was quickly followed by a wave of guilt. Even though we are on a much needed spring break and spending time with our precious families, the presence of internet and mobile phones keeps you from really being "Out of the Office".
The ever growing ability to stay connected begs the question, how and when is it appropriate to completely disconnect?
We find ourselves feeling slack if we don't immediately respond to every email, phone call etc, even when we have committed that time to other people or responsibilities. You can argue (as we do) that since we are a fledgling business, it's imperative to chase every lead and provide answers to every question as close to immediately as possible. But, even when Hold Your Haunches is several years old and hopefully paying someone to answer customer service questions while we take a time out, will it be OK for the Head Haunchos to totally remove themselves from the grid?
We hope so, and we know our children/husbands hope so, but we're really not so sure.
We welcome any feedback. Surely this is a common dilemma for all entrepreneurs?
