Vanguard Miniatures

MONTHLY CLOSURE

As many of you are aware vanguard is a one man operation, and running an online retail business is a lot of work, which keeps me very busy for the best part of the week. Workload is sufficient that I could easily work seven days a week to keep on top of things, but in recent months I have started to reduced the amount of business related activities I do over weekends, although there is always something that needs addressing.
After seven years without a holiday or any real break from the business I need to generate some more regular downtime, partly to deal with other business related activities but also to allow me some free time to get on with domestics and perhaps gain a proper day off here and there.
I'm not currently in a financial situation that would allow me the ability to take on a staff member which would obviously be the ideal solution.
Therefore I'm seriously considering disabling ordering on site for the third week of each month until further notice, this would be an official monthly closure which would start this month as a trial to see how it goes.
I'm also looking to have a more fixed releases schedule instead of the random releases I have now. So new releases would most likely be fourth week of the month upon the store being active again, although if items are ready early then I may have an early month release as well, it depends on what's available for releasing in any given month.
Thoughts?
