I think you just started your business at the wrong time – in tough recession times. Fortunately you are based in US where small businesses get a lot of help…. You should maybe try to google with keywords such as “small business help”. You could try visiting www.score.org . I am not sure if it would be of help to you, but I am a strong believer in spiritualism and I don’t start anything without consulting my spiritual guru. Again, you could do a search online, but there is no guarantee of genuine source. Lately, I have been hearing a lot of good stories about a new spiritual center called Spiritual Vidya. Maybe, you should check them out too… I heard that it is maintained by highly educated and spiritually acknowledged people. Check out their website www.spiritualvidya.com . P.S. – do let me know your experiences; maybe I will also consider them 

Well I think we will need some more information such as what your bussiness is, where products are sold (shop, building), time the business has been around.

I know what you did wrong – left a good going job and started your own business in such a bad market??? That’s what’s wrong with your business. You should have continued doing what you were doing so well…. Why to start your own business?? You should have waited for the economy to improve.

There could be one reason, multiple reasons, or a combination: 1. You don't have enough sales/revenue to cover your fixed costs. The solution is to get more customers and sales volume. 2. You may not be calculating your costs correctly and therefore you may not be charging enough for your product/service. Consider raising your prices and figuring out all the costs involved. 3. Your costs may be too high. Eliminate everything that is not essential and try to reduce costs of the essential items by shopping around.

Hi Desi. Have you contacted the lost customers and asked them WHY you lost them? The answer to your question lies with them. Best wishes and good luck.

one wise person told me that to be successful in life, always use power of two things: 1. your own brain power 2. spiritual power Using less of any one power will make you a loser...the maximum you make use of both powers, the more success you will attain. Don't listen to anyone. Have believe in yourself & break all the boundaries! someone mentioned about spiritualvidya.com ....its definitely a genuine source......many of my acquaintances have been to them & they are impressed with their quality and honesty. luv thier website!!
