Up and running and ......expensive!

Well, there is a hgue sense of relief finally getting my new salon up and running. The energy in the salon and the hope for what it will become is exciting and energizing. The flip side is the cost of a new salon during a deep discount Grand Opening and all the costs of getting it up and running. Whew! Stressful! I am truly tired of spending money. Now comes the time that I get overwhelmed with the daily finances - hoping income is more then the expenses while knowing how high expenses are during a Grand Opening timeframe. It's all part of the process, but I had hoped that by salon #3, this time wouldn't be as stressful and overwhelming. I know this salon will be successful though. I've felt it deep in my stomach from the moment I started the process for this location. My GM has felt the same way, so we know it will be profitable earlier than the first two salons. That is what gives me hope and confidence and gets me through each day...until I sit down and work with the finances. Haha

Well, as much as I want to continue this convo. I've been called away. Guess I'll have to do this late at night when I'm alone and distractions are all in bed. Until then... Remember to stretch!
