Fastlaner At Risk - Need Advice

[YogiTheBear]

There is a concept in auditing about splitting access and responsibilities (i.e. no one person other than the boss have access to all the pieces of information --it even has a good name that I can't recall right now).

Something I learned back then for situations like this?

You talk to that person and tell them:

"Hey, you have been working hard and I am concerned about you burning out. Go take a week off, no worries, I will cover for you."

And send them home and block their remote access.

Guilty parties will fight back and resist leaving cause they know their 'empire' will fall quickly and they will be caught.

Very good advice. Thanks.

So, how is it going for you now that you are again involved in daily operations?

Barely surviving, working 12 hours/day and in debt. Sales volume not as high as it used to be. Trying to put more time and money into advertising to get more customers. Making various changes to adjust to changes in consumer behaviour. My current problem can potentially destroy me if I make any mistakes during this 2-3 months.

Those good old days when I felt like a fastlaner are forgotten. But I still don't regret quitting my job 5 years ago and became an entrepreneur.
