Candy Beauchamp of OffAssist, a bookkeeping and virtual assistance service, found out the hard way that her business was fully capable of running without her. Last year, Candy had to undergo an emergency neck fusion leaving her team to run her business on their own. Through the whole ordeal, Candy was thankful for all the time she and the team had spent preparing for just an eventuality. She realized she was no longer needed in every daily aspect of the business's operation, something she considers a positive development. So this year, when Candy learned she would also be undergoing a double lumbar fusion, she was a bit less concerned. Though she still took a bit more time to prepare both emotionally and professionally. Hopefully your business can operate in your absence. Make sure you have a plan in place.
