I am sorry. This is mostly a rant. It is hard to convey thoughts with people that truly understand, and I am sure I am not the first nor the last who has been in a similar position that would like to share.

The position: Your day job taking time away from the business you want to succeed but is also funding it.

I have already been told from my other half who is currently paying for all home expenses "It is time to close the business." Sure it is. The business that I sometimes lose sales to because I am busy in my day job that provides steady income to pay for the business expenses? I can't make my business instantly profitable without a lot of capital. And to build that capital will take possibly years. And if I close the business, it is a mountain of red tape to get the license for it again. I realize everyone has a different breaking point, and it is almost senseless to ask what has your breaking point been. I am at the point where I desperately hate the day job because it gets in the way of doing the business. I started with a budget that really was not sufficient. That coupled with unknown learning curbs can really foul things. But...when I do it again I will be much wiser.
