19: 3 tips to prepare your business for a holiday break
Now that Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday promos are complete, you’re probably turning your mind to the end of December. For many of us who are entrepreneurs, that means lining up as much business as we can in the remaining weeks of the year and preparing to take a few days or even a few weeks away from our businesses over the holidays.
