Every kid loves snow days and the day off school. Owning your own business means a snow day is a loss of a day’s work. Losing a day of work is lost visits and lost revenue. I used to get frustrated every snow day.
Driving to work during the last storm the stoplight ahead of me turned red. I pressed the brake and slid for the next 300 feet. Fortunately nobody else was on the road. I pulled over, picked up my phone, and cancelled the patients for the day. If someone got injured on the way to or from physical therapy it would defeat the purpose of going to therapy.
We had a snow storm today and lost two thirds of our appointments. I can only take care of the person in front of me. I cannot control the weather.
I focus now on being able to work the rest of the week as being more important than what was missed today. Snow days happen. Do what your can do. Control what you can control. And enjoy the rest of the day when you get an afternoon off.
