Tomorrow morning, thousands of people will start arriving for Labor Daze. Tonight, it looks like this. The lights are on, tents are up, basket raffle is packed, and signs are hung. Months of planning are finally turning into an actual festival. I’ve helped lead this event for years, and the night before always gets me. By the time people arrive tomorrow, most of what went into making this happen will be invisible. They won’t see the meetings, spreadsheets, vendor emails, sponsor calls, volunteer schedules, permits, insurance, last-minute changes, problem solving or the hundreds of tiny decisions that got us here. They’ll just experience the result. And isn’t that a lot like running a business? Your customers rarely see everything happening behind the scenes. They see whether you were ready when they showed up. Tonight I’m tired, excited, probably forgetting something 😂, and incredibly proud of what our little team has built. Tomorrow, we open the gates. What’s something happening behind the scenes in YOUR business right now that your customers will probably never know about?
