Okay, before I continue, I realize Budget is a small Mom n' Pop. I have no delusions of grandeur, or anything like that.
That said, this phrase applies to owners of any size company, I don't care how many, or how few. Bill and Jacquie (the owners and my parents) are on vacation this week, leaving me, the General Manager, and our Receptionist/Field Manager all by our lonesomes. This is okay, I can deal. But the last time this happened, the week they took off was pretty quiet. Now?
I've never had to do so many different things in such rapid succession in my entire life, and while it feels great to do this stuff, help run the company, have the owners trust me, I understand why my 'rents were always so tired when I was growing up. There is a lot to do in order to run a business, and when you're the only dude that people go to for the final decision, it's. Well?
Scary.
In spite of this, I enjoy the challenge presented to me this week. I've done estimates, carpet cleanings, repairs, gas refills, employee pick ups, troubleshooting, marketing, deposits, phone estimates, follow ups, and a whole SLEW of different things this week in addition to my regular job. It's daunting, but I go home ever day very satisfied. And egear to get back to work the next day.
What about you? Ever been in a position like mine? What's it feel like for you to be at the helm for a while?
