Finding good employees is always a challenge, but never more than for a new/small business person. A mistake for YOU is fatal to your business. I started with my family. In the last 3 months, I have been in and out of the hospital 8 times. My business would not have survived without the help of my sister and brother-in-law. They took care of my puppy, helped set up and take down my booth at the market, and today are helping me move into my new apartment.
I see many vendors at the market who hire even young children to learn the business by working along side them in their booths.
And of course I always use my pets to model my products and sometimes to write my blogs:
Family
and pets
Bandit the puppy
and Max the Bling Cat
Max the model
So you will be hearing more about these amazing pets and how they help me in my business !!
Sunny,
I am so glad you have your family to help you and your pets to give you joy. And the fact that both of your pets are such excellent writers is just a bonus…
You might use that same idea and have an occassional item be written in your sister or brother-in-law’s “voice”. they can say things about you that you can’t say about yourself without looking like a narcissist…

It’s great seeing your family be there for you. What kind of dog is Bandit the puppy?

Such a talented writer!
Family is everything, and I am including pets as family. What a feeling to have your dog meet you at the door after a bad day of work. He doesn’t care, it is unconditional love.

You are so right! I would rather have a child helping me because they have a natural curiousity that I am not finding in the 25 year olds I’ve hired. I’m done with this me generation mentality!

We all need a support network, both in business and in life. Your blessed with god friends, cute and loving pets and a supportive and loving family. And your right, finding the right people is a tough thing, but you have it licked.

Finding good employees is hard. When you do find one with a great work ethic you then need to find the right seat for him/her. Don’t lose them.

Seeing your pets reminds me of my daughters! They want pets (both a dog and a cat) so badly. They’re wearing me down with their persistent requests, so we’ll probably be getting at least one pet very soon.
I look forward to reading more from you.
