Just when you think everything is perfect at work – the clients
are coming in droves, the cash register keeps going “ka-ching” and you are
being requested for your services on a frequent basis, something happens.
It could be one of many possible technical glitches – the credit
card machine won’t process, the cash register won’t open, your staff is
bickering, the customers are grouchy and you’re grouchy too.
So what are you going
to about it? Well, first of all accept that by being the boss, things won’t go
perfectly, every day. Sometimes people are not attuned to your way of doing
things until a trial and error period (hopefully) settles down. It can take
people days, weeks or even months whether we like it or not.
As long as they
are doing the job and learning a little bit more and more every day, things
most likely will pan out.
Sometimes days are tense, some days are fun, some days are a
combination of both. Integral to dealing with the hoopla is to take it one
moment, one minute, one day at a time. We all have to acknowledge that each day
is going to be different. No matter how we want or try to have the same things
happen each day in a perfect order, it’s not going to happen.
So, let’s try to enjoy the ride – and perhaps a good eight
hours of sleep is in order, too!
