There was a time when Franklin Dohanyos felt comfortable leaving his public relations firm for 2 weeks each summer to go on vacation Up North.
But in this competitive economy, Dohanyos‘ vacation plans have been downsized.
He’s not alone.
Fewer small-business owners - 59% now versus 67% four years ago - expect to take a summer vacation of at least a week, according to OPEN, the small-business arm of American Express.
Of those U.S. business owners who said they were planning to take a vacation, 65% said they will worry about their business while away.
What are they worried about?
* Who will manage the business while they are gone.
* Clients not getting the level of service they are used to receiving.
* Staff judgment calls.
* Employees slacking off.
