This is my second year working for myself. Last year my profit was 35k. This year it’s going to be around 59k. I somehow feel defeated. I try to have a good work life balance but I also work really hard and it took years to gain the right skills to be able to work for myself. As I write this out I feel silly and dramatic. Or idk maybe it’s just not what I want to be making. The good news is that I have room for more growth. Does anyone ever just feel super frustrated & sad? I want to tell myself I’m doing a good job progressing but I don’t know if I really am. I am a hairdresser.
It’s completely understandable to feel frustrated and uncertain, even with your progress. Growth in business, especially as a hairdresser working independently, can be challenging and doesn’t always match our expectations. It’s okay to acknowledge these feelings while you continue to explore your potential for growth.
