Running a business with a broken heart :(

[nixnewcastle]

I've just recently broke up with a bloke who i fell for big time cause he said he didn't want a relationship. My confidence has been affected majorly! and im about to open a new salon so need all my concentration and be happy and upbeat but im finding it difficult at the minute when im feeling so down Advice girls?

Yes its tough (my Dad died the day I opened salon number 2) but it is one of those situations in life where you have to draw on every ounce of proffessionalism and backbone. Paint you salon face on, and hopefully this will be a turning point for you.

It won't seem like it now, but you WILL be happy again x

I agree it's amazing what clients dont know about when they're having treatments done by us therapists. They always think our lives are perfect and the truth is that we just put on a very brave face on because we have to

Atta girl! Keep that salon face smiling.

It is really hard working through heartbreak of any kind, but it will make you stronger, and success will feel even sweeter.

i agree..its hard as you have the stress of running your own business and whatever is going on in your personal life.
as soon as i step through the door to work i have be smiley etc.. and try to block everything else out..

hope you feel beta soon

I worked the morning after my husband left me with a 5 year old to bring up alone. When my client found out she asked me why I had worked and I told her it was because that is who I am. My work is my work, my relationship is my relationship, my home life my home life and so on. Why would I let him take my livelihood away? Why would you let this jerk effect your future.

The best way to get over him is to make a success of your business on your own with no one there claiming to have made it possible for you. You will look back on this time in your life and be proud of yourself.

You can always have a wee cry when you close up for the day, or, alternatively, a large gin and tonic!

I always say it takes 6 weeks to mend a broken limb, so long will it take for a broken heart?

you need to accept that how bad you are feeling will take time.you are going to have good days and bad days, but dont let that stopping you from achieving something worthwhile and good for YOU.

In work you can paint on a smile and immerse yourself in your career. in private, you can grieve.

I split up my husband for a short time ( we are back together) and I am so glad that I continued working and getting into the salon or i wouldnt have the business now.

big hug, lots of best wishes for your new venture.

awww , im sorry to hear you have been hurt in this way but you will get over it i promise.. you need to concentrate on yourself now and the things that matter to you ie. your business, your family and friends - i know its easier said than done, but you will come out the other side with a strength and self respect you didnt know you had ..

i was running a bridal accessories business when my fiance left me (many moons ago) it was tough keeping the business going, purely because of the nature of it, weddings etc and i almost knocked it on the head - but as with shedunlop i wasnt prepared to let him take away my livelyhood .. i worked my little but off, made a real success of and was then able to travel, put a deposit on my own place and eventually train in bridal makeup and set up my dream business - i wouldnt be where i am today, had i thrown in the towel and let him win

Its YOUR future dont let HIM spoil it you must have worked hard to be where you are so chin up ,shoulders back and enjoy xxxxxxxxxxx

I think that working through hard times actualy helps, i dont know about anyone else but I kind of zone out away from other thaughts when doing treatments, its all concentrated on them and their lives etc, I think in this job aswell you have to have a passion and realy enjoy it. Much better to be doing something you realy enjoy and can get your teeth into to take your mind off things. Hope this helps, try and focus on all the positives, dont let him ruin the fact you are opening a salon! How exciting is that!!! xxxxxxx

dont think about him, this is your time so dont let him ruin it. enjoy it x

his loss, everything happens for a reason... getting my 1st beauty room happened by chance then it gave me the confidence to split with my horrible boyf of 4 years a week after being there. Then the girls at the salon invited me out with them for one of their b-days and I met my current boyf and hes loverly but i didn't go looking for him at all.

throw yourself into your new business, and now have a bag of minstrels and read cosmo, I know Lady Gaga is wierd but she has an amazing interview in this months where she talks about her ex not beliving in her

 

[persianista]

Bag of minstrels is excellent advice. Reading cosmo isn't. I find it the most depressing magazine on the planet.It used to make me think everyone else in the world had a better job/ byfriend/friends/ social life/sex life and so on. Made me feel totally inadequate.
Far better to flick through a copy of womans weekly in order to feel young, gorgeous and exciting x

 

[makeupartistzoe]

Lady Gagas bit in cosmo is good tho, I generally like it as its a bit fluffy and pants... theres another bit on finance and how you spend money without realising it and how to save money, then the next page has office stationary on it, like the best organisers to declutter your desk and therefore your life, with a £40 magnetic paper clip holder in the shape of an animal, a bit contradicting...

I like the hoop of shame tho in a few other publications of stars with no makeup, lippy on their teeth etc showing everyones human and has tough times and there will always be sum1 worse off than u...

...anyway gone off track a bit, dont have too many minstrels as then you will drink too much rose and stay up too late online

nah! lets meet up and have a boozy afternoon! whinge about men and girl power!

 

[shedunlop]

You can either sit around unwashed in your jammies with your box of Kleenex totally heartbroken with no career OR you can go to work, totally heartbroken, build your business and feel good about yourself! No brainer!!

 

[kennedia]

Excellent advice on this thread - be brave, be strong, then bathe in that warm glow of revenge when he finally realises how well you are doing and what he threw away. work hard and enjoy xx

This is so true. However low we feel, life always turns a corner.
