Truth Talk:
Running your own business is hard. Damn hard.
Most of us are working another job, raising kids, facing emotional and financial struggles, pressure from all sides.
Running your own business can be amazing. It can be the highest of highs. When the pieces are selling and the phone is ringing and you are in demand. When the bills are being paid, and your booth is emptied out, and your store is non-stop. It’s not any easier, but it makes it worth it.
It can also be the lowest of lows. You don’t get to clock out at the end of the day and go home without a care. You don’t get to call in sick and stay in bed. You have to get up and do it every day. No matter what.
You have to be painter, supplier, marketer , accountant, mother, wife, daughter, father, husband, son, carpool driver, cleaner, buyer, merchandiser, stager, photographer, hauler, lifter, mover. COME ON!! It never ends.
Some days you wonder why – you think it would be easier to punch the clock.
But if you’ve ever had the highest of highs after the lowest of lows, you know it’s worth it. You know that you could never go back to punching the clock.
It’s just matter of picking yourself up and dusting yourself off and getting back out there. Maybe this week wasn’t your week. You had 10 lowball offers and nothing sold. But maybe it’s tomorrow. Maybe your customer is right around the corner and in two days, you’ll be scrambling for more inventory.
I’ve been there, and I get it, and if you don’t have the support you need where you are at, just come here and we will all get you back on track.
Value yourself, your work, and your time. Take a break now and then to recharge. Look up once in awhile and make sure you are still on the right path, and if you aren’t – figure out how to get back on it.
It’s hard work running your own business, but it’s worth it at the end of the day!
