A little PSA from a very tired small-business owner:
When you own a small business, you do EVERYTHING. I’m the buyer, salesperson, bookkeeper, marketer, photographer, website manager, customer service department, delivery driver and cleaning crew: all while trying to have an actual life outside of work.
My time is valuable because there is never enough of it.
Please don’t give a small-business owner the runaround. Don’t commit to purchasing something, require repeated messages to complete payment, schedule pickup times you don’t show up for and then change your mind weeks later.
That doesn’t just waste time. It can prevent us from selling the product to someone else, tie up inventory and cost us actual money.
Life happens, just communicate honestly and respect the time, energy and resources that go into running a small business. ❤️
