If you run your own small business you know that you ware 2 main hats to keep things operating:
Hat #1 is… well, Owner/Operator. That means you and/or your employees make sure all aspects of your business are handled. But, at the end of the day the buck starts and stops with you. This can be a little unnerving. But, them’s the breaks.
Hat #2 is the glorified, catch all, complaint department. Everyone associated with your business comes to you with every problem (business and personal). Below is a list of paraphrased conversations of some true issues that have been laid in my lap as a small business owner.
* I’m not sure if I can make play at that show… I can’t find a baby-sitter.
* You mean we’re traveling 2 states away to perform and there’s no PA or light- show?
* The hard-drive has crashed, and the master back up was erased last month.
So, we’ll have to re-record all the basic tracks for all 12 songs.
* Please travel 12 hours to Philadelphia and open the concert for Natalie Grant…
but,we can only provide food & lodging.
* I’m sorry I’m late for the recording session… I’ve been in a motorcycle crash…
and, I’ve lost the feeling in my left arm.
