To DIY or not... Why Time is Money When Starting Your Sleepover Rental Business

When I first started my sleepover rental business, I was all about DIY projects. I spent hours crafting themed decorations and accessories, convinced it was the best way to save money. But here’s the truth I learned the hard way: Time is money!

While creating everything myself did cut some costs, the amount of time and effort I poured into each sleepover set-up was draining. What I didn’t realize at the time was that my time could have been spent elsewhere—like growing my business, marketing, or improving the customer experience.

Now, if you’re passionate about crafting and have unique ideas, go for it! Crafting can help set your business apart by offering something truly special. Just make sure that the quality of your work matches your vision, and always keep in mind the hours you'll be dedicating. You’ll want to factor this into your pricing, ensuring that your efforts are reflected in your rates.

Remember, the key is balance. It’s great to be hands-on, but never forget that time is money. Don't be afraid to invest in quality materials or services that can help you save time and scale your business. Your time is valuable, and it’s worth investing in tools or help that can help you grow faster.
