The Stress That Comes from Building a Successful Party Rental Business

I ran into the man who bought our rental business the other day...and he looks exhausted! He asked me if it would ever get easier.

The exhaustion is one of the downsides of this business. Since so many of us are seasonal due to the weather, we never want to turn down business during the busy season...and that means we generally scramble to cover all the jobs.

Maybe it helps to know that most of us have the same feelings at one time or another. When you're getting started you just about have to do everything yourself to learn about the business...of course, once you know everything, the smart thing to do is start writing up procedures and delegating jobs to others.

But...keep in mind that the tremendous success that can come with this type of business doesn't come without work....and exhaustion during part of the year is pretty much a part of it. On the other hand....during the down season, you'll have lots of time to relax and enjoy the fruit of your efforts! If you work to build a year round business, you'll eventually get to where you can somewhat pick and choose your jobs or you'll be so busy that you'll have enough staff to cover events easier....either way...keep in mind that being tired is good...it means you're making money & building business and meeting new customers...and the end results are worth the effort.
