feels like I'm getting screwed

[curran]

Its been two years since I spent any time on this forum. But my drive started here, my motivation came from all the great success I read on here, but now I feel like iv no direction and I'm losing motivation as a result.


I left my job back in 2014, with €2500 paycheck in the bank, big dreams ahead of me. I crashed my car the same day paying out €2000, I was left with €500 but nonetheless the must go on, I financed a coffee cart second hand and began trading.

Two years later I am now here, four B&M stores and I'm set to turnover at least €500,000, but I'm being screwed by taxes, this has really crushed my motivation, so I'm back where it started, looking to find that fire, ideas to increase my turnover and of coarse what I get into my own pocket.

Any tips on motivation? Managing time outside of business? And making connections would be appreciated.
