I am 47, left a well paid job 12 months to set up a new business. My son is 17 and has special needs and once he leaves college I want to be able to spend time with him.
All my life I have worked 60 hours and travelled 1,000 per week so I have accepted it as the norm.
I raised £5m private equity to buy convenience stores, but have been unable to buy anything of quality. I bought 5 stores to launch but not good stores and are loss making. I have people working for me and do not want to let them down and have a new starter in 2 weeks to to help run the operation.
I am working 7 days a week to recover these stores, but clearly I have made the wrong decision. I still have the backing of investors, but clearly confidence is knocked.
I battle on but tired and health is suffering. Putting in disciplines of rest, meditation, incantation, training.........but in the darkest place I have been in my life and feel like I have let my family down.
Have read Fastrack and Unscripted and realised I have been chasing the money not adding value. I have joined forum to help me bring direction back into my life and literally to save me.
