So I am the owner of my own business, which means I get to play at being manager. I can do this (I have been for over a year now) but it is extremely draining. I also think that it doesn't pull on my actual strengths, and instead makes me use my weakest traits the most.
My current main concern is that I need to hire a couple of more people NOW to get prepped for August, and no one wants to be hired. (Apparently the economy is doing just fine everyone. No need to panic.) So I am feeling pressure to have everything settled for August, especially the end of August when I will be on my first vacation in many, many years.
Any other NF types on here in the position of manager? If so, how do you handle it?
Or any advice (from any type) on how to juggle the stress of managing people and running a business?
And on hiring people - any creative ideas for how to get the word out that I am hiring? I've done some internet stuff via our weekly newsletters, Facebook updates, signs in my store, etc. I suppose I could take out an actual help wanted ad.... Hmm... (lightbulb).
