...............Not sure where to begin. The last week has had so many up's and down's I feel like its been a year. Basically I'm starting my own business leasing a space from Casa Bella Salon. I have to take care of everything, and I mean everything. It's been super overwhelming and very frustrating. Once I got behind the chair and worked on my client's hair, I loved it again! It was as if everything else was gone and it was just me being me and having a great time doing what I love. But once they are gone and I have to go back to "being the owner" things get stressful and overwhelming again. I know everyone says the first few months are hard, because you are investing thousands of dollars and not seeing an end in sight; but once that's done, everything's better. You start to make a profit and everything is good again.
They say there are five stages of grief, well, I think I'm definitely going through them. I didn't even see this coming. We were doing so well and being very successful, so out of nowhere having no job and then having to start your own business is tough. I looked into other good salons and guess what? You have to do an apprenticeship program for at least a year at minimum wage before you can do hair. Now, after living at a higher earnings level for over a year and not foreseeing a job loss, I can't go to minimum wage. Plus, what would I do with my clients? I know there is an end in sight to all the money that needs to be invested, but for now, my wallet is sobbing and my heart still feels like its going to burst out of my chest every time I look at my expense report and to do list. *Sigh* I suppose, I just have to buck up and accept that this is the way it will be for a few months.
