The unfortunate truth of owning and running businesses..
Its hard.
What they don’t tell you is that it can drain you mentally and physically sometimes in even the most laid back people.
People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person...
You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages, calls and emails but you’re trying.
Starting up and running a successful business puts a high amount of strain on personal lives and relationships. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All while being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will do and balance.
It takes a toll. It’s WORK 24/7. There’s no clock in and clock out or any “off days”.
Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with lives and families too. Be kind, be patient, support these businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!🫶
