🔟 Here’s 10 things we wish we’d have known opening a small business 🔟
🔟 How important it is to constantly change and evolve, the menu, drinks, plans, it keeps things fresh and keeps people interested
9️⃣ I think it’s fair to say that we underestimated how tough running a business with your husband can be, but my goodness it’s worth it!
8️⃣ that running your own business can satisfy every inch of you, from art to science to design to people! Tick tick tick
7️⃣ Once you’ve owned and ran a small business, your basically unemployable, well I say that, highly employable, but just not prepared to go back to a rat race!
6️⃣ that people buy from people, all our produce is local and where possible we support other small businesses! Then tell the story, customers love it as much as we do!
5️⃣ no matter how hard you try for it not to happen, your camera roll is totally filled with work, emails, screen shots, electric meters and reels and reels of food!
4️⃣ That running your small business is the hardest and most rewarding thing we have ever done, so every spare minute you get go away, rest, recharge, spend time together out of work!
3️⃣ we never anticipated how a business has the ability to bring new people into your lives, that may have always lived round the corner, but you would have never of met, now you have the pleasure of calling them friends
2️⃣ We get so much joy from employing people from the local community, who are as passionate about the businesses success as you are, invest in your team, support and
nurture them and we regard them as our biggest asset
1️⃣ that the community we serve, is our biggest asset, we are so chuffed to call so many of you friend and over the moon our corner of joy means so much to so many!
Thanks for reading, thanks for supporting.
Love Team Sycamore ###
