At the moment the sales in my business are 50% down compared to last year.
This is due to a number of reasons for example, no stock on better selling SKU's due to moving suppliers, some sku's being obsolete, more competitors joining the market.
I've been in business for 13 years and the pressure never really bothered me but lately i'm really starting to feel it. It got to a point where i wouldn't log into my internet banking because i didn't want to know how little cash i had in the bank, or i wouldn't look at our daily sales because i didn't want to see how shit we performed the day before.
I am working on a daily basis to address these issues and increasing sales (i'm currently waiting for stock to arrive in 4 FBA centres across Europe and US) but i know this isn't going to change overnight. I just feel this weight pushing down on my shoulders. I'm starting to feel like no matter what i seem to do or as hard i try it's not going to work out for me. I'm feeling very anxious especially at night time and i know that i'm just bottling everything up when really i feel like running a million miles away.
It's a horrible feeling that i am carrying around with me each and every day. It's like no matter what i am doing the worry is always there in the background that i'm losing my business and going to end up with a shit load of debt if i don't turn things around.
A while back i was always confident that i would end up achieving my goals no matter what, over the last few years that's evaporated and i need to get that faith in myself back somehow asap.
