A social worker, a human resources manager, and a customer experience professional walked into a mansion. No joke here — just our reality.
We are so grateful it is the three of us doing this together.
Last week we pulled together this chart to map out all of the roles we play as small business owners, and honestly, we had to take a minute. Twenty-seven hats between us — and that is with three people sharing the load. And we probably forgot a few too. None of us came from hospitality or business backgrounds. We are still working full-time jobs. We do not pay ourselves yet. And these are just the small business hats — they do not account for all the other hats we wear in our lives too. We show up every weekend because we love what we have built here.
We share all of this not for applause, but because we know we are not alone.
This one is for every small business owner out there wearing all of these hats and more — by yourself, before sunrise, after everyone else has gone to bed, with no staff and no guarantee. We see you. We love you. You are a special kind of crazy, and honestly, so are we.
Cheers to our fellow small business owners! We allbmake it work. And most of the time, the joy is absolutely reciprocal.
What hat did we forget to put on this board?
