What Do You Do When You Or Your Kids Are Sick?
‘There will be a time when you or your family members get sick. This is super stressful as a business owner when your business relies on YOU!
It comes down to saying that you are number 1!
Without you there is no business and your kids need a healthy mummy! Lets face it mum is the best 😉
So do you have a plan on what to do if this happens? Probably not… so why not make some arrangements.
Here are some ideas you can try:
Find a local artist you can trust that could help your clients when you are sick and return the clients back to you. You can do this for each other also and return the favour. Please dont get caught up in worrying that you will lose your clients… they love YOU! Plan and rebook them in 1-2 weeks when you or kids are better.
Offer a prepaid booking with a discount offer in 2 weeks time. Another great way to pump business or get your clients to come back in. You could also promote a bigger spend for other things they can try with you.
Book yourself a YOU day/mental health day so that your body can recover. Plan this every 2 weeks or even once per week a few hours to sit still, or get a massage…. if you a mum wash your hair and eat a hot meal for once uninterrupted !! lol
Reach out to a family member who might be able to help you with taking your kids or baby sitting them. This one is hard for some and if you a re like me I never like to ask for help BUT listen up! You do it!!
Remember if your clients get angry at you for taking care of your family…find a new client! As long as you have done all you can there is nothing more you can do … I guess clone yourself but it’s only 2022.
Please put money aside for these days so that you do not struggle. Enough money for a 1-2 weeks income.
Communicate with your clients also, try to give notice and let them know you can reply as soon as you can.
You will come back stronger then ever!
