What to do when you're not making the money you want?

Its quite common and i think its a part of everyone's life now. yes, i am talking about the "Down Time"
the key is to keep struggling and sooner or later you will be landing somewhere.
on the other hand if you give up then you would have to start from the scratch again

Ive been hearing lately small business are starting to suffer the downturn 'we have to have' along with retailers.

Every retailer is possibly suffering the eshop revolution......or are they. I believe that is part of the problem, but there seems to be a much bigger issue affecting not only retailers but small business as well.

July is usually one of our industries busiest months, but it has been pathetic at least 50% down in sales. Consumer confidence is just not there, in fact it is starting to remind me of the "recession we had to have' which had a disasterous affect on much of our industry.

I cant put a finger on why consumer confidence is the way it is so your comments may help to inspire those that are feeling the pinch
