I'm in the middle of the two toughest bill paying weeks in my short 5 year life-span as a business owner.... and I'm not panicking but am quite stressed. I've got reserves but I hate to use them! And the weather is such that parents of newborns are not venturing out if they can avoid it - so low register totals for three days in a row. I feel optimistic with long range plans.... but could you keep good thoughts coming my way for the next 2 weeks? I appreciate your support so much!
thanks
Cathy

I will absolutely sends you so positive vibes.

And, trust me, I understand. Probably not to the extent that you feel as, I believe, you have employees to also worry about; but for me it is those days when I have several last minute cancellations and/or no-shows. I know I'll make it but dang it is stressful!

I suspect you may be a wee bit on the reserved side but nonetheless I send back a big sloppy hug and kiss! Just being able to say that (electronically) and be heard feels so much better. Thank you!

Mamagael, I hope your busy season starts early and hot this year!

good luck to all you business mamas. It's my personal finances that I'm stressing right now (awaiting expense checks from jobs).
