Stolen from a like minded friend…..
Running a business is really hard 😓
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe 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. 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 just is no work life balance when starting a new business or even less when it is established. 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, friend...
All I'm trying to do is make something out of myself, give my family a good life and provide.
There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially this past year.
Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient.
I copied this from a friend and thought it was right on the money with regards to most small businesses 💯❤️ xx
