Wow! Your post speaks about so many things. One it’s says a lot about your never give up attitude. I understand how overwhelming everyday must have been for you to think of calling it quit. Especially if what you get and what you invest is more. I understand when you say not money, because even putting in efforts requires the right mindset and people making mistakes cause setbacks!

Another thing is the addition of the new person. I believe for something to work out well, we need the right people. As you say, till now he has your back. Evidently in your writing, he has given you less presence which means you have enough time to look at things differently.

So right all good, wish you the best in your bakery! Don’t worry about the revenue. It will go up in due time. Best wishes!
