007: Don’t Be the Bottleneck (Even on a Beach in Hawaii 🏝️)

Twelve days in Hawaii with my family.Three days home.Then off again for another two-week adventure.

Total days “away”: 27. Bottlenecks: 0.

How? I’m not a magician. I’m just married to someone who might be motivated by a love of laziness. (His words, not mine.😉)

Honestly, if it weren’t for him, I’d probably work every day until I turned into a very productive statue. But thanks to his travel-loving spirit, we’re out here LIVING the dream we dreamed up in our 20s: running thriving businesses while still having a life.

Here’s the trick: Before I leave, my only job is to make sure I’m not the bottleneck.

The Real Fix:

Whether you’re running a gymnastics gym, kids sports program, or building the next NinjaZone Empire, if you can’t leave for 2–4 weeks without chaos… that’s a red flag 🚩.

Here’s what makes it possible:

• My calendar is the boss. What gets scheduled gets done. If I have to prep something 3 weeks in advance to protect my vacation time, that’s what happens.

• A strong chain of command. Everyone knows who to go to when I’m gone, including who makes decisions.

• Clear communication systems. People don’t wait around for answers. They move forward because the system doesn’t stop. Meeting intentions,  rhythms, and accountability all stays the same.

• ⭐️ BONUS! When someone gets to practice solving something new ;)

Ask Yourself:

• Could you leave for two weeks and have the business run without you?

• If not, what specifically would break?

• If yes, what systems or habits made that possible? Could they be stronger?

I want every one of our NinjaZone partners to feel what I’m feeling right now: total peace knowing that the business doesn’t need you to survive every single day.

Want help building that? We’ve got frameworks for that inside the NinjaZone License (yes, even for people just starting).

Let’s build you a business that serves your life, not the other way around.

P.S. Seriously, what’s one thing that would break if you took 2 weeks off? Hit reply and tell me…I want to hear it! 🎯Real talk - You don’t need to be a wizard 🧙‍♂️ or clone yourself to have a business that runs without you.

But you do need systems that don’t break when you vanish for 2-4 weeks.

Vacations aren’t just about beaches and umbrella drinks, they’re the ultimate stress test for your business.

And guess what? If your systems pass the test, you come home recharged instead of buried under a pile of chaos.

Take the break. Be the bottleneck breaker. Live the dream and run the business. You can do both.
