Don't do me that way....

 Being a business owner comes with an interesting mix of requirements—customer service skills, a smile that doesn’t falter, a dash of empathy, and, apparently, 41 cameras hooked up to a DVR. Oh, and a never-ending to-do list.

This week, I’ve been juggling it all. It’s that time of year when summer’s easygoing vibe gives way to looming deadlines and big projects. Teachers are gearing up for a more demanding season, and I’m knee-deep in contract writing, policy updates, catching up from vacation, redecorating, and shopping for new equipment. You know how it goes. THE LIST NEVER ENDS.

Except for one thing—bullying from parents. Nope, not on my list. That's a hard line for me. You know you’ve hit that point as a business owner when you just don’t have the time or energy for anything that undermines your work or your team. Boundaries, my friends. They’re not just for maps—they’re for sanity.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with a paint swatch chart and, possibly, my 42nd camera.
