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.
Great to hear! Could you handle many more new jobs or are you at full capacity?
I’ve been turning down quite a few jobs in the last six to eight months, which I didn’t do before, and swore I’d never do. But I feel like it’s better to say “I can’t get to that as soon as you’d like” than to promise what I can’t possibly deliver. I know a lot of guys that take everything that comes along and they end up pissing off customers and sometimes facing lawsuits.
