The Business Blues

Whew, y’all, today is not the day. I went to set up my PayPal account, thinking I’d cross another item off my business checklist, only to get hit with a big, fat DENIED. And if that wasn’t enough, now I have to fight with PayPal to figure out how to refund a customer, because guess what? You can’t refund orders without an account. Fun times, right?

They tell you, "Create systems!" but no one warns you that you’ll need systems to manage your systems. It’s like learning a new dance, except every misstep costs you money. That’s the thing about running a business—there are no free lessons. Every mistake feels like a line item in your budget.

So here I am, spending my morning untangling this mess because, well, I don’t have a customer service team or a financial department—just me, myself, and a whole lot of "What now?"

Cheers to another day of figuring it out. To all my fellow business owners: Happy "Running Your Own Business Day!" Stay strong out there. Peace.
