ugh … I won’t comment on exact numbers, but I have plenty of kids lol
If you get to the point you aren’t needed great; but everyone I know running lifestyle businesses tend to take only a few weeks off throughout the year — not all at once. Many take <1 week per year. They’d be considered “stage 2 businesses” by the metric mentioned. Imo that’s totally as far as most of these businesses can get, unless you have revenue to sustain overlapping roles.
If you get to the “I don’t need to work any more” phase of a business; typically it’s time to sell or hire someone to manage and do something else.
Which btw should be the goal, I’m just saying, you’re no longer running a business if you quite literally are leaving for weeks at a time lol. Someone is running it for you.
