She retired, in part, because she was no longer getting consistent business. She complained she would go days without appointment requests before she retired.
For those of us who do this full-time, once business stops being consistent, and we still have bills to pay, we move on.
The “new” younger girls come in, and everyone wants to see fresh meat, so regular providers get neglected for months for “newer, brighter, bigger” …. This is why I’ve always said it is important for providers to have a Plan B…
Then, the “new” girls graduate college and leave, or they move to bigger towns after they’ve burned bridges here, and everyone wonders where did so-and-so go?
So, friendly reminder… if you have “favorite” providers you will always fall back to, remember to show them love and still schedule when you can… otherwise we, too, will retire and go away.
