“What can I put in place so that I can go completely off the grid for 4 to 8 weeks?”

To entrepreneurs who are feeling burned out, this is the question I pose most often.

2 weeks isn't enough, as you can let fires erupt and then attempt to repair things when you return.

But 4 to 8 weeks (or more) doesn't allow you to be a firefighter. It forces you to put systems and policies in place, ditch ad-hoc email-based triage, empower other people with rules and tools, separate the critical few from the trivial many, and otherwise create a machine that doesn't require you behind the driver's wheel 24/7.
