Although Valentine’s Day is not a florist busy day of the year, ( fun fact, Mother’s Day is) but Valentine’s is the most hectic. Mother’s Day orders get spread out for multiple days through the week, while Valentine’s Days, the bulk of it is mainly one day. Although this year seems to be allowing deliveries for two days, so that is actually nice.
I have been doing this going on four years. I swear I am use to it but I get nervous and stress every year. My husband reminds me, I know what I am doing, I have done this, I can do this, and I got it…..but it is still so nerve racking. I create a lot of my own drama; I worry about making everything perfect, I worry about, making sure I make things, better and how can I make things different. I stress to make everything to my standards, so I create my own stress of worry. I worry about the worse case scenarios, will I sell everything, what could cause me not to, did I order to much???? I have been fortunate every year that I did, but I stress every time! Does business ownership ever get easier? I know I am good at my job. I am good at what I do, but I worry and I just know I am not good at the business of it, and I think that is the stress I carry with me in my mind. No matter what I do, make, or create, if the numbers do not add up none of it will matter.
I wonder if I will ever move pass this fear? Will I let this get easier? Or will I just keep pushing myself and therefore never let it get better and comfortable for me?
Am I ready….
