Yesterday around 9 pm Swedish time we landed in Mexico and then it was only 2 o'clock on the day here, you love the time difference when you travel a whole day but still do not miss the whole first day of the holiday! :)<\/p>\n

Now we chill in the heat and the week that has been feels very far away. It feels like no one in the whole world has had such a long to do list as I have had haha. I really worked the iron to be able to be gone for 2 weeks!<\/p>\n

But do you know what? I feel so sick good! Almost a bit laboriously good, this is the level my bar must be at in order for me to be happy as well haha. But I already feel that it would have been unsustainable in the long run, the body says, but it was fun for a week! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leave as an entrepreneur<\/strong>
\nA common quote is that you should build a life you do not need a holiday from and I have really done that. There are so many who love Fridays because "it's a weekend soon" and then they hate Sundays because "it's soon to be Monday". Many people live so much in the future instead of the present so they do not enjoy when the future they longed for will come.<\/p>\n

I need this holiday for it to be so extremely fun and wonderful, not because I need to escape from my everyday life :)<\/p>\n

Then it's a little harder as an entrepreneur to be free because you have to catch up with everything before, but I still think it's worth it actually!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The coffee cup has been my best friend on the morning twig hehe. I have worked until 00 at night and got up between 5 and 6 in the morning to work in the photo studio before work. I always do otherwise too but not as many hours as now when I would do blog material for 2 weeks of blogging;)<\/p>\n

And I who bothered so much about that sleep is so important to me and that I need my 8 hours haha, but I notice a difference already after a week in this way actually. I say the wrong word like "black" instead of "plastic" I said one day, dreaming lots of stress dreams, forgetting what I'm doing in the middle of a sentence, etc. I'm not made to simply neglect sleep.<\/p>\n

Mass production of blog posts<\/strong>
\nThis with making a 2-week plan for the blog posts and a deadline for when it will be ready may not be so stupid, I think the phase I have made more and better blog posts for these holidays than I usually have haha!<\/p>\n

On Sundays I will blog about my business week \u00e1 la Mexico but all other posts will be timed. So there are 13 beauty posts in total. There will be a lot of product reviews, which I do not usually do as often, but I hope you like it too?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Learning by doing<\/b>
\nThis week I set up a structure for how the ordering routines should go at the salon. It is not only sales products that are ordered regularly but also consumption such as eyebrow dyes, receipt rolls, bags, hand soap, coffee for the waiting room, detergent and a thousand things!<\/p>\n

Now we have made it so that Ida is the one who will carry out all orders, and the rest have an area they should keep a close eye on and know how much there should be in stock of each item and order in time before things run out. Then they can easily report to Ida when she should place orders.<\/p>\n

This little project has actually been instructive for me! I have a tendency to do things so carefully that I spend a lot (!) Of time on things that are not used to the extent that it is worth that time. In this case, it was that I started writing down documents and forms for everything that is ordered and how much should be in stock of each product and all the small comments about each thing that are important to know. So that everything can be read in advance and there is no risk that things will go wrong.<\/p>\n

Great idea but in practice I realized that it was more time consuming than I thought and that it is completely pointless for me to make the worst manual book for something that people will learn by heart quickly and then when the next person has to learn we have for sure changed so much in that manual that nothing is true anyway.<\/p>\n

So you know what I did? I deleted everything I had written haha, then I wrote down the most important and we run learning by doing instead! When we are away, they have the task of testing the order for the first time (but do not send it away) to get the routines in and write up any. issues and improvements. Then when it needs to be ordered for real, Miska will be there for the first time, and after that they will have to continue themselves, but that we approve everything before it is sent away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the end, there were some simple documents with a description of the layout and how we start, then we have to take everything step by step and day by day! :) Pjuh!<\/p>\n

A welcome-home document to myself<\/strong>
\nI have also made a document called "Welcome home!" to that I come back to the office again, with all the to-do things that I have not prioritized before the trip but will remember when I return. You can be a bit tough after a holiday and jet lag so I thought I should be prepared and help myself a little;)<\/p>\n

Mixed week!<\/strong>
\nOtherwise, it has been a mixed week with all the usual work that is always done, some new projects with ordering routines, we are ordering some new signs to be designed, we have presented all new metrics and the strategic focus for the staff and counted on a billion numbers before I was completely finished, I have had a lot of customer bookings also including regulars who read in the blog that I am going on vacation who took the opportunity to book before.<\/p>\n

The luxury of owning your own beauty salon<\/strong>
\nSometimes you forget how good you are, like when you go to Mexico and go outside the office door and lie down and fix your lashes without booking an appointment or paying for yourself haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here I was kind of newly tattooed with the highlighter outside the lip contour, therefore I have a pretty light, sharp edge around the lips in the picture :)<\/p>\n

In other words,<\/p>\n

Now I'm worth a little vacation, hugs to you! \u2665<\/p>\n
