I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.

People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.

    I do a side hustle and I’m getting people calling in asking for a job and these are company owners where they have to take/looking for a second job.

    I hear this all the time and there are so many people that’s saying that it’s your fault for not trying hard enough to sell. Then there are folks saying that things will turn around but not sure when. In the meantime you see your business account dwindling because you’re banking on a change in paying rent, payroll, paying vendors, etc.

    So yes… it started getting bad Q4 of last year where B2B customers holding back in our services. I even have clients paying their invoices later. I’m looking to get a job. This 2023 has all been very bad!
