for as long as i can remember i've had a need to please. which, as you might expect, can be good and bad. i think it makes me a good innkeeper, but i think it causes me a great deal of personal stress. at times, almost overwhelming.
my bed and breakfast is located in an older home. there is one thermostat and radiators in each room. all the radiators can be adjusted. as much as i fuss over the heat someone is always too cold and someone is always too hot, it seems. some people think the coffees too strong, others rave about it. some people think breakfast is amazing, other don't say a word. and the list continues...
overall i'm confident in what i do and think i offer great accomodations, but it's this 'need to please' that's been consuming me these days. does anyone else struggle with the same issue? can you offer advice? sometimes i want to say 'screw it 'and just do what i do confindently and hope for the best, but i still can't shake the need to make everyone happy.
help.
