Curious, you all small business owners - 1. do you get to have real vacation time? 2 For how long? 3. How frequently? 4.When is the last time you had one?

I used to have lots of it. It was a big part of why I went into the profession I chose.
During busy periods, I did nothing but work. I’d go for a month or two with 16- to 20-hour days, 6 or 7 days a week. But then I could take off for long stretches, with some planning.
I used to take off mid-June through mid-August. I could stretch Thanksgiving into a 9- or 10-day break. I could also take three weeks in winter (mid-December through the first week of January) and a week in spring, usually around Passover/Easter.
Now, I’m lucky if I get a full day off at all. My last actual break was in the summer of 2019. I get the same peak season craziness, but not the relief afterward. Feh.
