Ah, summer…That wonderful time of year when everything slows down—including your business. Your clients, employees, and vendors are on a seemingly constant rotation of vacation time. No one’s ever in when you need them. The easiest thing to do, then, is just accept this state of affairs. After all, there is a gentlemen’s agreement in the business world that operations are supposed to slow down a little in the summer, and since your competition has slowed down, it’s fine if you put on the brakes for a while, too. Right?
