Feels good to finally get on top of things

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 or company.

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 counsellor, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a 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.

I copied this from another small business owner that I support!

Please support small business, I know I do!!

And thank you.

We've been making some big eco friendly changes at home this year, we've changed deodorants to biodegradable refillable, swapped plastic toothpaste tubes for toothpaste tablets and plastic toothbrush heads to bamboo, started using recycled toilet paper and kitchen roll that also comes in paper wrapping, swapped washing detergent for and eco egg, plastic marge tubs for butter in paper and started using washable & reusable food storage options instead of cling film and even gone back to the good old days of milk in glass bottles from the milkman. Phew...... Just a few changes then, and we are constantly looking to make more so if you have any suggestions let us know!
It's not always easy with busy lives, four jobs between two of us and two young children but I'm super proud we are doing what we can 😊
