I'm not going to do this anymore, and I am not going to apologise for the fact that I am busy 🤪
I constantly feel that all I am doing at the moment is apologising, whether that is to new client enquiries, not responding to email in less than 24 hours, speaking with reps and trying to organise time for them to come and see me.
Quite frankly I am busy🤦🏼♀️
Yes, I am fortunate that I am busy. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that in the past month, I am juggling a lot, over the past couple of months I have been trying to put systems in place to help with the workload including hiring a VA to help with the constant overfilled inbox, which to be honest contains a lot of junk. I've taken the hard decision to close my books, to any new clients until September, so that I can focus on the clients, that I am currently working with.
I can hear some of you singing already 'How lucky to be in that position!' 'Wow I'd love to be that busy!'
Running a business is often feast or famine and working out how to juggle this 🤹🏼♀️ is often a minefield and with employment costs soaring out of control, I need to retain and look after the team I have.
Simply not enough time or energy to train anyone else to help to then potentially join the team, especially in times like now, when we need extra pairs of sewing hands.
Anyway no more apologies, I am doing the absolute best I can do right now, considering our personal circumstances.
Thank you everyone for all your comments, likes and shares, it bloody means the world 😘
