Anyone feel like they worked more during quarantine than when things were normal?
Owning 3 businesses proved to be a blessing, but did come with some challenges.
With my salon business I had to field all of the wedding cancellation and postponement calls that were flooding in (and when I say flooding, we have had 43 😬), inform other callers that "No we cannot come to your home and cut your hair 🙄", and try my best to be a leader to my 9 staff members that were confused, angry, scared, uncertain, and baffled at everything happening.
With my property management company I had to find a way to ease concerns of rent being due and find creative ways to postpone due dates, all while budgeting to maintain the large scale costs that come with property ownership.
With my business coaching I had incoming emails almost daily for each and every one of my clients. Everyone wanted answers that I didn't always have and many were in different states with different guidelines than my own. So we worked diligently together to find new ways of running their businesses, budgeting, and finding and filling existing holes.
Needless to say, it was a lot for one person to take on, on top of the day to day business procedures that still needed to be completed. Phew! I'm tired just thinking about it 😨
But somehow we managed, we have all come out on the other side. Stronger, more educated, running better businesses. Remember, there is always sunshine on the other side of the storm.
