What does the day in the life of an owner look like?
The day in the life of my job is pretty much making sure there's peace within the company. Lately, there have been issues between my two managers; one was not treating the other well, yelling and making her cry. I tried everything I could to get them to get along, but it wasn't working.
So, I had to pick who was more valuable to our company and let someone go today. My role also involves making sure everyone in the office is happy. I check in with people and the owners to ensure they are content with pricing and how we're handling maintenance and accounting.
Essentially, I ensure that from the top to the bottom, everything is being handled correctly and answer anyone's questions. For example, sometimes we have to give refunds for guests who aren't happy. They come to me, and I decide whether to offer a discount or stand firm if they're trying to take advantage.
If anyone has a question, I'm available, but I'm not as involved in the day-to-day operations or answering guest questions directly. I have people for that, and I hire accordingly so I have time to focus on other things and grow the business. This includes finding new clients, marketing, sales, social media, and hiring better people to ensure we're always successful. I also review the numbers and other relevant data.
