re: Small business owners

I did it in 2016. I never worked harder in my life. Constant calls, trying to come up with advertising strategies and marketing solutions. I was answering emails for hours. I had to do most of the actual work, because I couldn't find competent help. When I would train someone, they would quit a few days later. I wasn't able to pay myself for 3 years.
However, it was very successful. Covid and government restrictions killed us, and we were forced to close last year.
