Over the years i've been a very driven person however for the last couple of months i've gone off track a little bit. Maybe i needed the "break" but i seriously need to get myself going again.
I've mentioned before on another post i have a retail computer repair business which i've had for 15 years but it doesn't make much money ($1500 a month after staff wages (1 person) but before any overheads and after so long i'm finished with retail.

The majority of my income comes from my ecommerce business, selling worldwide mainly on Amazon and Ebay and that is based in same location as Computer Repair Store so closing as a shop is not going to reduce the rent, rates etc.

My wife has a relatively well paid job $5500 a month but it's very stressful and with having two young children we've now decided it's time she handed her notice in to spend more time at home.
Obviously this is going to put more pressure on myself which doesn't worry me and i'd rather the stress was on me that my Wife. I had decided to close the computer repair store but now with my Wife leaving her job it's planted a doubt in my mind. I am spending days now going back and forth which obviously isn't helping the situation. Oh to have a crystal ball and see into the future.

How confident am i of covering the lost extra revenue $1500 by concentrating solely on my ecommerce business, yes i can do it certainly.

Doesn't stop the doubt in my mind at the moment!
