Tuesday 13th February - 2 New sales & the Flu's back!

Blog: Frustrated Businessman
Posted by: knightrider45 Tuesday 13th February 2007, 4:51pm

I'm getting more focused gradually on getting this little, part time business (that needs full time hours - and 2 staff) into at least breakeven mode as quick as I can. This has to be my primary objective in improvng the finance situation.

And it was a nice suprise after getting up at 1.30pm today to find the two sales - one of which is a regular subscription, the other a totally new, one off order.

This is the frustrating part - I know the business works, and I can see it's potentiaal - but I can't devote the time to it that it needs. Still, keep struggling on I suppose - I will break it's back. Soon.

All I want to do is balance my books. Simple as that. wages these days do not keep up with all the household expenses. A business has to be the way forward. Either that, or face a life of constant shortage & struggle.

I owe my wife loads more than that.

I've said all this before. Maybe I'm giving myself a pep talk? I don't know. Sometimes I dream of a job that pays enough wages to pay all the bills, working 38 hours a week and having plenty of free time to do what I want.

Not working - literally - at either my job or the busines for 19 hours a day, 7 days a week. And still not being able to pay all the bills.

Anyway, enough of business. Home life is steady, but the wife and son think they're both coming down with that flu again - I really hope they aren't. And, more to the point, I hope I don't catch it. I can't afford time off work. My vitamin supplements worked last time and I really hope they'll keep me flu free this time around too.

Admittedly I've woken up with a headache, again, and I'm tired still. Time to do the tea for every one, and then go to work again. another day over.

Until tomorrow
