Running A Small Business
10 yrs into business and one advice i can give to any small business owners is to run your small business on your own. When the spouse started this business.. and i came a year after, we had big plans.. but then our kid came along..and everything had to be shelved. At first because of our kid, we thought by hiring a few staff would be the way to go, but soon to find out .. that it’s not true. Hiring in this town is like getting the best weight loss supplements because you really need not take any for these ppl that we’ve hired really took a toll in our lives.
Of course, we are not saying that all of them gave us trouble, at least Mike and Ryan from Halifax were by far the best ex-employees. Some were good when they wanna come to work while others.. well, lets just say .. you can’t do nothing to please them. Another was even more terrific - he would keep giving out the wrong change .. and insisted on not using the calculator. Yes.. these are only minor problems that we’ve had.. we had bigger issues with some others.. but finally if you own a small business.. there is just no way.. one can run a business with hiriing a few part timers.. or just one full timer.. too stressful for them and ourselves. Why..?? because the part timers want more hours.. and the full timers feel that everything lands on their shoulders - so there is actually a no win situation for us. We figured .. since the kid is older now.. we certainly should try and handle things oiurselves.. and not depend on another employee and if there were stress.. we have no one to blame but ourselves eh..? hhaha!! so word of advice to small business owners like ours.. run your own business on your own.. if you want a profitable one.
