working holidays without pay.

the reality is you work on your business constantly

& start/finish orders WHENEVER you can. even if that's 6am on thanksgiving day.

your office or work space isn't always aesthetically pleasing and that's fine.

some days your not going to get a single sale, it's fine though because some days your going to be so overwhelmed you want to quit.

continue to push through!

Running a small business often involves challenges that come with working holidays without pay. Entrepreneurs frequently wake up early or stay up late, dedicating their free time to work on orders and handle customer inquiries. Aesthetics may take a backseat as practical workspace becomes necessary. It's common to face days with zero sales, leaving many feeling disheartened. However, perseverance is key. On days when the effort seems to outweigh the rewards, remember to focus on long-term goals and the passion that sparked your entrepreneurial journey. Joining communities such as #letschat and #Lemon8Diary can provide support and motivation during these transitional times. Additionally, learning from fellow entrepreneurs through shared experiences can offer valuable insights. Embrace the unpredictability of business life, acknowledge your hard work, and continue pushing through. With resilience and dedication, success is within reach.

Honestly, so many people think those small businesses are easy. That’s no big deal, but it is some of the hardest work you’ll ever do in your life because everything falls on your own shoulders. There’s not a lot of people to help you.
