I Hate Being a Business Owner!!!
I HATE being a business owner!!! This is so stinking hard!
Yesterday was just annoying. And long. And frustrating. And painful - I kept hurting myself.
Everyone has these days. But being the owner of a business seems to come with so many more ups and downs than anything else I've ever known.
The highs are great. But the lows are, FRGGGRGR BDGGGRGR!!!! To say the least.
Looking back, I know why I didn't have a good day. Sleep deprivation. I'm doing great now and have a plan to not have that happen, as often. Honestly though, sleep deprivation is a big part of running a business in the beginning stages.
Growing a business is a TON of hard WORK. There isn't anything pretty or glorious about most days. It's usually trying to do the things that make money, paying the bills, and then trying to find time to do the things that will build the business so it becomes larger than you (which is a good thing). This post is more about helping you see that before you jump in, it would be good to get a dose of what the reality will be like, to have a plan, and to have a deadline set. A deadline to where if the business hasn't made X amount of money, then it's time to quit.
If you already run a business, that crumby day you just had is normal. Hopefully it wasn't self-inflicted like mine was.
If you're an entrepreneur or thinking you want to be, re-read this post. Read it several times.
This is hard work, but I know you can do it. You can be successful! What hardships have you gone through to get this far as a business owner?
Now, get to work!
