It's sunny today. Before long after I got home, MeeMaw, clearly on edge, came seeking help. It turned out her business plan for a home cleaning service company was
actually working—someone had requested her services online. However, there was a
problem. Initially, she had planned to run the business as the manager and
hire one or two part time cleaners. Alas, those people she had initially agreed
to hire are now backing out. Frankly speaking, they stood her up! I
guess they might have thought the job is a bit underpaid, but a deal is a deal.
This is a sticky situation; if she turns down the customer, it would damage her
reputation from the start. So, my mom has to step in to help. She'll be MeeMaw's
first employee, working as a housemaid, cleaning and scrubbing around until
MeeMaw hires someone reliable. The way I see it is that you should never
take people's promises for granted, as they don't always follow through. And
more importantly, you need a great Mom! Stay smart and always have a backup
plan!
