Heeelllpppp!!!! I am absolutely soul destroyed!
I began renting a beauty room within a hair dressers a couple of months ago for two days a week.
The owners are such lovely people, the rent is reasonable for the area, it's round the corner from my children's school and I couldn't ask for anything better.
It's taken a while to try and get my name out there with advertising, leaflet drops, offers etc and slowly but surely I am getting a steady stream of bookings.
I had a new client come to me for a shellac manicure last week, turns out she works at an estate agents on the same street as the salon.
She told me that a shop two doors down is selling up and it is being purchased for a nail bar!! It's completely broken my heart after putting my all into my business.
Don't get me wrong, I am confident in my work but being early days this has put some serious fear into me. I am currently working two days a week during school hours whilst building up with the aim to increase the number of days. Unfortunately it can only be during school hours as a) I am unable to afford any extra childcare and b) my eldest is autistic with a full time learning support assistant which rules out after school clubs etc.
I don't know what to do now.
How do I prepare to fight? Or brace myself for the worst?
I'm so lost 😭
