People have no clue what it's like until they've done it , but i wouldn't change it either.

All I can say is my hats off to all that attempt to become a small business owner. This just about sums it up…..

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression 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 anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

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 and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All while being husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.

It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices.

After a fall that broke my ankle yesterday, I'm losing an opportunity to gain a new client (was supposed to meet up with today). Plus I imagine my med bills are gonna hurt the bank.

Please, any of you have friends/acquaintances with small-medium businesses that might need bookkeeping services, I have over 25 years in the field, my AS in business & working on BS right now. I need referrals for clients. I can mail out cards to anyone thinks they have ability to hand out.

Please also feel free to share this post.

PLEASE & THANK YOU!!!
