I have been under tremendous stress this past few months. Yes, it’s always about work. I’m praying for a sign from Allah – to be guided into making a decision on what’s going to happen to my business. I think I have made it known that we have been struggling – even more so after Covid.
I have tried all the ways i can think of on how to make more sales, pull in more traffic – popups, discounts – you name it. Maybe it’s not enough or maybe I just haven’t exhaust enough ways to make this work. It’s heartbreaking and i’m torn.
I’m trying to change my ways and improve myself, personally and spiritually. I hate the fact that i am constantly worrying and stressing out about money. I wrote this here before in my previous post – I may sound unambitious when i say this, but I no longer want the same things i want 10 or 5 years ago. I no longer want the shop everywhere, as I no longer want the stress and headache that comes with it.
I want to be able to have flexible time to spend on family, and classes to improve my knowledge in Islam. I want to have time to practice my Arabic, more time to read the Quran.
So I really don’t mind if we go back to taking orders, and making an automated product that people will keep looking for. A lot of money has gone to the renovation etc, but I feel like I’m taking a bit too much that what i can chew. It’s not easy, it really is not.
May Allah guide me into making the right decision. Ameen!
