The Frankensteyn's of our Workshop. They never cease to amaze and amuse. With Franko's permission, most proud to share this.

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.

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 marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, 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 small businesses after 5 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!

We are all very proud here of the Second Place runner up for the WESTRAC - BEST EQUIPMENT OPERATOR IN NSW CHALLENGE, Kieran Cameron, not mentioned unfortunately in the article. But, check him out in the Loader. Next thing we know, he popped up on the WESTRAC page on our screen (end right). Kieran was impressed with someone so young having the skills that Jack displayed on the day. Ironically these 2 competitors had more in common than we realised. Kieran is 2nd Generation in the family business & is a passionate operator for 12yrs now. Who knows Kieran's son born around the time of this event just may be our 3rd generation.
