There’s no holiday for the business owner. I’m sure many people know exactly what I mean. I thought I’d write this blog post to share with you how my summer is going and give you a chance to get to know me better.

Some of you know that I am originally from Bulgaria and every summer I go back for a few weeks to see my relatives and spend time in the nature. This year my time away is very short, but still blissful.

Anyway, despite the fact I’m not in the office, I keep doing all the things I would normally do when I am in the UK. Except visiting client premises.

My mornings are still made up of running and fixing schedules, resolving arising issues, supporting the cleaners and communicating with clients. The only difference is, I am doing it from the peaceful environment of one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Mmm, you can smell the fresh scent of pine trees all over!

In the afternoons my family and I usually go to the woods. The men gather together to pack logs for the winter time and my kids and I pick fruits, mushrooms and herbs. It’s a lot of fun! Yet, my phone is never switched off and I’m always online, ready to respond and resolve any crisis. I don’t mind it and I’m happy I can still do my work efficiently, surrounded by the people I love.

I know that our clients rely on us and my staff needs me to provide support. I value their loyalty and count it as a blessing. It could be stressful at times, but it’s the life I’ve signed up for and don’t regret it for a minute! It actually makes my time away more fulfilling, knowing I am still useful even though I’m not in the office physically.

Our clients know we won’t disappoint them. We work very hard all year round and even during the holiday season we still have enough personnel to cover all bookings. I believe this is very important because it gives you that peace of mind that things will run smoothly no matter what.

I am truly grateful to my cleaning staff, who work diligently and tirelessly to make homes and commercial settings beautiful, safe and inviting.

Now, I’m off to mushroom hunting with my family, but sending you lots of hugs and positive vibes from sunny Bulgaria and the mighty Rhodope mountain. And if you need me, I’m still here, so pick up the phone and call me.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Your truly,

Hristina
