We do what we can to help and support our boss but do we take for granted the pressure on his shoulders? Absolutely not!
Thank you for being a pretty good boss Trev!

BE KIND ❤️BE PATIENT ❤️
♥︎Running a business is really hard ♥︎
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe 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.
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 just is no work life balance when starting a new business.
You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner and more. All whilst being a husband or a wife, parent, family support and friend.
There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. It takes its toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially these past two years.
Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient. Especially in the next two months, during the festive season.
