RE: Business struggle: Why I closed my shop (Eng//Esp)
First of all I am sorry that you have to close your shop ...
However, realising you are losing money and your mental state is being affected is a huge win.
We learn from what happens, we adapt and we pivot to something new. Funnily enough this is exactly what I wrote about today The Power of the Pivot ~ Why Adaptability is Your Greatest Asset Online.
Over the years I have closed two of my businesses that were losing money. Having to pay for goods upfront from a supplier before you get them and before you sell them, gives you a huge cashflow problem. So you have done the right thing. It is great that you can pivot to fashion design and go to nursing college. It can help fund college and be a nice side hustle even once you are a nurse. Good luck with your future entrepreneurships!
It means a lot to me to know that I am not alone in this. Giving up my shop was a very tough decision for me, but hearing how you also pivoted from businesses that weren't working for you gives me so much courage and hope of doing better if I try again. I agree that adaptability is key, and I am hopeful that fashion design alongside nursing school will peeve way for greater opportunities. Your encouragement has boosted my confidence to move forward without regrets.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words.
I know how soul destroying it is and the that you feel a failure. But if you keep going then you would be in a much worse state of affairs.
So I am glad they helped a little to give you peace of mind.
