Lots of people who try having their own business don't succeed at it. It's painful when that happens. Either you need more time to get your business off the ground, or you need to accept that you must work for someone else.
I understand what needs to be done in my head, it's just all these times when I feel this crushing weight of failure and doubt... it makes all my plans look so stupid and futile.
I haven't stopped altogether, I still work and look for more work.
I can't see the point in just treading water but I certainly see no point in drowning.
I have really lost touch with what it means to move forward.
