I’m a 26f. I bought the landscaping business I have been working for (4years). I knew all the clients, I know my shit (plant wise), I know how to run teams and be efficient. But I’ve never owned a business before. I felt like I had an insane opportunity of buying a successful growing business that has been around for almost 30 years. The company has a great reputation, we haven’t done any advertising in 10 years and I’ve already had 25 new clients reach out to me within a 3 months of me purchasing it. I come from an immigrant family, my parents came here for a better life and I feel like this is my one opportunity to be successful, really make a name for my self. I feel good, I feel proud of the work I do, I love having a purpose. But wow I haven’t had a single proper day off since. I knew I would make sacrifices the first 2 years because I need to give this everything to succeed. I’m looking at this as an investment into my future, miss family gatherings, events all the jazz so that way I can be the one to host and supply for everyone later. But man I am tired, not burnt out yet but tired. I’m working weekends to make sure I get to our clients, planting 600 plants in one day my self, mulching 5 yards by my self because I had people call out almost every day for 3 weeks which put me behind. I’ve already had to fire a few people on my crew, thankfully I’ve already been able to replace them. I knew staffing would be hard but I didn’t realize it would be this hard to get qualified candidates. Don’t people have bills to pay? Everyday I say to my self I can’t believe I’m doing this, running this big of a company with this little experience. I have learned so much along the way and still have so much to learn. Some days I look at the bank account and think heck yes I can do this, and others I’m like having a panic attack for 2 minutes. I tell my self I don’t have time to panic I don’t have time to cry, there’s no literal time to waste. But I’m slowly now finding an hour to watch the Celtics game but even then I’m just thinking of all the work I need to do. I have a loan to pay off and 10 employees to provide jobs to. I feel crazy Any advice any thoughts any stories are appreciated
