The amount of people that think owning/running a business is easy and that you should be 'loaded' or you’ve got it easy because you are your own boss. Or that it’s just a hobby and not seen as a “real job”

Running a business is really hard. It can be very rewarding but also very challenging and can come with a lot of pressure, constant worry and stress. You never switch off!

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 or strong people.

People will talk about you, take an instant dislike to 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’re going to go elsewhere, Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails on every platform constantly.

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 whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, carer, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes its 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 trying to earn a living with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…. and hopefully more of us, your favourite service included, will be able to stick around for longer.

I copied most of this from another business owner 💗 thank you for your words.
