If you are a Small Business owner raise your hand. ♥️
I am the curator, the maker, and the designer.
I’m the production assistant…. but also the office manager.
I am head of the inventory control department, quality assurance and the finance department.
I’m the researcher.
I am the buyer but also the seller.
I’m the secretary and administrator. I do all the scheduling and planning.
Customer Service department? I’m your girl!
I’m the product photographer, the editor… and the poster.
I’m also the web designer, the SEO programmer and the copywriter.
Social media content creator? All me. Which is why I struggle to find the time to post!
Tiktok? I’ll be coming for you someday.
Shipping, packing orders, runs to the post office and other logistics? Yep! (Well sometimes the husband helps) 😝
I am a small business owner. A master juggler and a team of one. If I make it look easy, it doesn’t mean it is. It just means I’ve gotten good at what I do.
Owning a business might look glamorous but I assure you it’s anything but…. It doesn’t mean I don’t love what I do but it does require me juggling hundreds of tasks simultaneously on a daily basis while exhausted.
And I’m not alone, there are millions of small business owners just like me doing what they have to do to build their dreams and make thing happen. Most of them while also raising a family, and still carrying on with all other daily needs like laundry and cooking meals.
So next time you interact with a small business owner maybe just take a second and really appreciate all they do. A kind word and a smile goes a long way and your support means the world to them.
Happy Small Business Saturday to all of you hustlers out there! I see you and you matter. ♥️
