Running a business is tough. Learning craftsmanship is tough. Finding customers is tough, setup marketing, and sales points are tough. Not having funds is tough. Starting from ground zero is fucking hard. Its ok to be fucking broke, it doesn't define who you are. Making mistakes is normal.

So it's ok if things are tough. Don’t be too hard on yourself. What really matters is how we pick up.

I think what might help is perhaps a 1 year projection, list out all cost factors to reach a certain target of sales. See if projected sales revenue alone can cover cost and support yourself. It will be tempting to be ambitious, but try to be as conservative as you can when you make this projections.

If sales revenue cant cover cost, then maybe you need to cut cost, find a cheaper website for a while, look for external funding - loans etc, increase sales avenues, or get a job (or do all). Reaching for your dream is not easy, but if you are determined to make it, give it your all.

Get some sleep, rest up, wake up afresh, build that realistic plan to reach for your dreams and go for it. You got this.
