There are no sick days in business.
Even when there is a part of the business that isn’t healthy or functioning perfectly, the show must go on! But, day after day and month after month, the longer a piece of the business stays broken, or even just functioning at 50%, the rest of the business is impacted until eventually the illness is evident and it must be fixed or risk the inevitable. And if you think this flu season was bad, consider that the majority of businesses die in their first three years.
