NewAccess for Small Business Owners - Sam's Testimonial

Hi everyone, my name is Sam. I run a small business here in Bendigo, a record store called Bendigo records and I've been using the NASBO program the last few months.
 
Back in May I found out some stuff about my business partner that was really really upsetting, as well as the general retail downturn has been really really really rough.
 
I found my worries starting to really get a hold of me and a lot of stressors really start to hijack my mental health. As somebody with a history of anxiety and depression I know what a lot of the triggers are and I really wasn't coping.
So I was scrolling Instagram one day and I found that there was this program that I could get some free help to help me learn some techniques about how I could better deal with some of the things that I was dealing with and it was absolutely invaluable. Learning the new techniques really really helped me get a hold on things. Things haven't changed significantly in the underlying stuff that has been that was triggering a lot of my feelings, but my ability to deal with them now is much much improved.
 
My relationship with family is better, relationship with my employees is better. I'm not worrying as much about stuff that normally would have really set me off so yeah, I can't recommend it more highly.
 
Thank you so much for the support that it's gotten already and yeah if any small business owner was out there and is you know struggling and a lot of us are,this is a really really great program that will help you get on top of some of those worries and learn how to deal with it better.
