Hit 500 clients this month in my chair and I'm honestly shocked

I've been doing hair for about 4 years now and last month I hit 500 clients in my chair. That number just hit me different. When I started I was lucky to get 5 people a week and now I'm booked out 3 weeks solid. It's not just the money either. It's remembering faces and stories and kids growing up. But here's the thing I didn't expect. I burnt out hard after that 500th client. Took a whole Sunday to just lay on the couch. Has anyone else hit a big milestone and just felt totally drained after?

Honestly sounds like a humblebrag more than anything.

See it different than that other guy. Hitting 500 clients is a real grind and it makes sense you'd crash after. You're carrying a lot of people's stories and stress in your head all day, that adds up fast. That Sunday lay on the couch wasn't about complaining, it was your brain finally letting go. Pretty common for people to hit a big goal and then feel empty or wiped out, the letdown is real.

Wait, 500 clients? Like, you actually have 500 separate human beings relying on you?
