Being self-employed is beautiful… but people don’t always realize how emotionally and financially heavy it can be.
When someone books with a small business, we schedule our entire day around those appointments. We count on that income to pay bills, buy supplies, survive, and continue doing what we love.
So when someone cancels last minute, disappears, or says one thing while already looking elsewhere behind the scenes… it does hurt. Not because people can’t choose what’s best for them — they absolutely can. But honesty and communication go a long way. Things happen, as a small business I’m very transparent and honest, we just ask the same.
Small businesses aren’t giant corporations. Behind every appointment is a real person trying their best, sacrificing sleep, time, energy, and sometimes even their mental health to make things work.
A simple “I found someone else” is honestly okay. Respect and transparency will always be appreciated more than excuses.
Support small businesses with honesty too 💜
