Business has been real slow, and I been using my own savings to keep it open. Its been 7 months and is been complex trying to pay bills for business and being late on bills at the home. Im about to pull my hair out. Its really hard and I on the edge of it all. My contract, my life, my motivation is all on the line. There is no profit because what is made is spent back in the business. Please help. Thank you... Besides the obvious prayer, this is a difficult question to answer. Not having the background as to what the business is, seeing the books, looking at alternatives, etc, it is a question that cannot be answered by anyone but yourself. So we are back to prayer (and maybe you can find a mentor to assist in decisions?) Blessings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had to do some pretty creative things to keep it afloat. Listen if you don't want to discuss what kind of business you have in the open you can pm me and I can try to help. I'm not sure though that the steps I took could apply to you. In the meantime I'll pray for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to keep it, try to review all aspects of your business and cut costs where you can. Also, try to see what the future prospects are. If you don't really see any bright future for it, you may try to cut your losses by closing down. Many businesses learn to become more creative in the midst of difficulty. How they respond to the challenges either makes them or breaks them. Blessings...South Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elderjans Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I understand about having your own business. I have a dress shop. And it has not been easy. The summer months are the hardest. I don't have a bank to go to or a interested person to help with the monies I need. I stay in prayer asking God what shall I do. And I don't get a answer. So I am still waiting on God. I am looking in the Word to find my answers. I have sold clothes or Jewelry for 20 plus years. I don't have a savings to fall back on or credit. It's amazing as I was writing this God has sent someone in the store. So we have to seek God always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
