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.
Serious and sincere question…
Are you looking for help to turn things around or are you looking for permission to quit?
I think some owners do not have the funds to continue to turn things around. Some are not willing to take on more debts due to a lot of uncertainty. There are owners that have probably done a lot and more to try to bring in more revenue. Let me ask you a question… are you one of those people to tell other biz owners that it’s their fault because they’re not doing enough?
