Officially today I signed all the paper work to lease the building🥳 I’ll have my salon at. My client today said💇♀️ “you must be excited.” I wish I could say I am. Because I understand it’s a huge accomplishment👏- but I can’t help but worry😥. I’ve always been the type of person to worry, I freak myself out. I guess I can say I’m more scared and nervous than excited. I got my cards read today, and it just kept saying to get out of my head, trust my gut, and go with the 🍃flow. One of my questions I asked was if my business will be successful and she said YES, oh yes! And the card pulled up success and (I don’t know what the cards names were) but the card was one person teaching the other two the way- coincidence that I’m hiring two booth rentals? I can never slow down on things and feel what I need to feel. I need to feel excitement but I want to be at the point where everything runs smoothly. I’m lost right now to be honest. I need to hire a new assistant to run social media part because Ren is leaving (which I knew was coming) I just get sad because I got comfortable knowing she had the best interest in my business. I know running a business is hard but I know being responsible for other stylist, payroll and other duties will be harder. I have to just give it my all! Work my ass off (which my tarot card said that too) it said I work my ass off to get where I need to be! I’ve always been the kind of person where whatever I want – I will Get. 👩💻I’m grateful that I am like that. I’m beyond proud of myself that I can always achieve my goals one way or another.
I just keep thinking of all the money that I’m going to spend on this 😩 I’ve been saving for two years and now it’s going to be gone in less than three weeks. Being a hairstylist is scary, I have to be responsible for my own savings and emergency funds. So! If you are self employed please please put $100 a week aside for emergency funds and $100 a week for businesses emergency fund.
The tarot reader told me to just write, to get what I need off my chest to not be blocked. It really does help, I don’t know if anyone reads these- but here goes nothing: I’m scared out of my mind, I’m scared that I will give this my all and something will happen where I can’t grow. I’m scared to hire people around me because I want them to be happy, and what if I bend over backwards for them and they still hate me and leave the salon and say it was the worst salon with no break room. My salon won’t have a break room so I’m also worried that the team will be like “wtf” where can I add UV rays to burn my food with cancer light????? I’m renting two booths but what if no one wants to rent a booth? No One really does that anymore .. no one rents booths. What if my aesthetic doesn’t flow right with others, what if I don’t get along with the new employees… I’m not salon domesticated IM A FREE BIRD in a 10×10 space. I don’t do small conversations with other people. I’m there to work! But as a business owner .. I need to be in tune with the rest of the girls! WHAT IF THEY HATE ME BECAUSE IM THE BOSS 🥺 I’ve always disliked all my bosses a little! 🙃 I have all these questions that won’t be answered until after the situation happened. So here I am… with my thoughts but ima just say that my business will go good, I will be a good boss and teacher- mostly because I want to encourage and install confidence with anyone who works with me, and everything will be ok!
My plan for tomorrow is to get the business licensing going, getting the fictitious business name handled, business credit card applications, look over applications and pick out swatches and flooring for the salon. Good luck to me 🍀
Just being honest-
