I just read a book called "The Dip" by Seth Godin, which I will be posting about. It discusses when to quit and when to stick. You are almost there - you just need to "stick"! Wendy,

I know I'm back on the upswing. It's just frustrating when we are owed SO much money to the point that we have difficulties keeping our own expenses covered. In fact, in the first week of June, I already have two deals done that will bring in more income than my highest month ever! So it won't be long before I'll be singing a different tune! :) Thanks SO much Neena - it’s always really encouraging to hear that from an outsider! I know I’m back on the upswing.

I know exactly how you feel, it's as if there's a heavy boulder on your shoulders trying to knock you down to the ground. It's even hard to produce a smile when things seem gloom but you've got to remain focused. In trying to do my own buisness dealings. I have 4 children (youngest is 8 months) I also have my neice 10 months(my sister is stationed in Iraq). Everyone needs (mom)at all times but you've got to make the time for youself & your buisness. A good friend of mine once told me, "Marlena, there's gonna be days when the house is gonna be total chaotic & a mess" but it's ok because you've got to do your own buisness dealings -- if you don't... you'll always put yourself last. This was a good experience for you with the tree, I think it will give you a sense of strength and better purpose. You've come this far Wendy, don't give up now.

Believe me, I feel you. Parents, lovers and spouses (to say nothing of bankers and creditors) are much more focused on cashflow than profit margins. :-( Stick in there, kiddo.
