Brainstorming on the beach

Ah, vacations – something that keeps small business owners sane and stress-free.

While taking a short break (or a mini-retirement, as mentioned by The 4-hour Workweek’s Tim Ferriss) is nice, as not many entrepreneurs have the privilege to take days off from their businesses, I don’t believe that any entrepreneurs can shut themselves out from entrepreneurship.
