💕 A LITTLE REMINDER ABOUT WHAT “FULLY BOOKED” MEANS TO ME… 💕
I thought I’d just pop this out there as I know sometimes people might see me out and about during the week and wonder how on earth I’m fully booked but can’t squeeze them in! 😂🙈
You might spot me in town, having a wander around the village, doing a bit of shopping or enjoying a rare bit of peace and quiet, and think…
“Hang on a minute… I thought Lisa was fully booked and couldn’t fit me in?” 🤔😂
Well, let me explain! ❤️
When I started Shore’s Chores, it was because I was bored at home after my full-time network marketing job sadly came to an end. I wanted something to do, I wanted to earn some money and, before I knew it, my little cleaning business had grown into what it is today.
But here’s the thing…
Over the last 15 years, Gaz and I have worked incredibly hard renovating three houses and making decisions that have allowed us to build a life where we don’t both have to work eight hours a day, five days a week.
I’m not saying that to show off, because that’s genuinely not me! ❤️ It’s just the result of years of hard work, and we’re grateful that we’ve been able to create a lifestyle that works for our family.
And that’s exactly what I want to protect. 🥰
Some days I might only choose to work two hours. If my bills are paid, I’ve been out of the house, seen a few lovely customers and had a bit of human interaction, then that’s enough for me!
I love being able to take Ronnie to school and collect him. I like having a bit of me time. I like being able to nip out, get things done during the week and enjoy my weekends with my family rather than spending them doing all the boring stuff the kids would describe as “absolutely tragic” 😂🥱
I don’t want to fill every available minute with work just because I could.
I don’t want to grow into a massive business, take on staff or spend my life chasing more hours.
I’m genuinely happy with what I’ve built, the lovely customers I have and the balance I’ve created.
So yes, I am fully booked… but that doesn’t mean I’m working every hour of every day! 😂❤️
It simply means my available cleaning slots are full. I choose how many hours I want to work, and once those slots are taken, that’s my working week planned.
I know not everyone has the luxury of choosing their hours, and I never take for granted that I’ve been able to build a life that gives me this flexibility. I’m very grateful for it.
But please understand that when I say I can’t fit you in, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m working all day, every day. It means I’m not looking to fill every spare hour with another clean.
Shore’s Chores is a business that fits around my life, not a life that revolves around my business. ❤️
And honestly? That’s how I want to keep it!
Thank you to all my lovely customers who support me, recommend me and allow me to do things my way. You really are the best. 🥰
Lisa xx 💕
