When not to go that extra mile

During these busy months a lot of pool cleaning service owners are finding it hard to keep up with their clients. This is when they decide to "suck it up" and work on Sundays

 

I'm not going to lie to you, I have thought about doing it - Heck I have done it before! But I will tell you, as will others, working on the Sabbath does nothing to boost the success of your business.

 

Barring all religious reasons not to work on the Sabbath, there are tons of reasons why it's smart to keep this day "Holy".

 

I know what you're thinking - "There's no way to take Sundays off and still get my route finished"! I whole-heartedly disagree. Taking a day off for yourself and family is essential to keep your mind and physical well-being in tact. Many business owners fail, not only in business, but in the area of family by not taking care of what matters most - themselves!

 

 

 

Besides, when you decide to service residential pools on a Sunday, you tend to take away the time your clients have to spend with their own family. I'll tell you, if my lawn man, or housekeeper came to my house and interrupted my family time on Sunday, I'd find new employees.

 

As pool service owner, you're going to have to learn to get up extra early and stay out extra late during the week so you can observe the Sabbath and take care of yourself, family, and customers.
