In two months I may finally ditch my business and start looking for a job. The thought of this makes me feel like I am moving backwards, but I do accept that this is what needs to be done (before I get further into financial trouble).

I found someone who may want to take over my business: do I ask for money for stock only or can I charge more based on the fact that the business is now established and there is a regular clientele (Ok even though not enough for profit - she knows that!). Also need to see if the landlord will accept a new tenant.

I feel like a ship lost at sea at the moment. Once I turn my back on what I currently have there isn't anything I feel I can love doing. I graduated in Tourism so chances are I will end up in a reception even though I have no training in hotel reception or even travel agent training. My course was more orientated towards social studies (applied to tourism).

Oh gosh. Any clues as to "what next" for me?

Thanks in advance.

Two months, is kind of soon to be ditching your business. Can you work and do business at the same time?

Why are you ditching your business? How long has your business been around?

I cannot advice you what to do but when I been in a similar situation (lost, depressed, not sure, confused) - I practiced and practicing Ho'oponopono cleaning.
This helps to resolve everything and clear up.

sorry, I didn't explain properly. The business hasn't been giving me any profit for a long time. For the past year I even had to pay out of my pocket to keep it going...I keep hoping that things will improve, but it's not realistic. I've given myself December as a deadline and it's fast approaching, so it's time to face the facts and prepare the future (whatever it may be).

I am not given up too easily. I've tried everything I could. I've asked for advice on this site; put things into practice, etc. This is it...end of the line. I'm letting go. I have to surrender. Nothing else I can do.

When people do that - the greatest things happen.
Watch for synchronicities...

take it one day at the time.

Remember to mourn for your company, it is not nothing to loose your business, no matter what the reason. Give yourself some time to get over it.

Take a job, any job, to pay for your bills.

While in this job, catalog what you like and don´t like and take your time to find your perfect job.

Everything will be ok, even when now it might seem dark. It is always darkest before dawn....

Thank you for mentioning synchronicities. This shop has been the stage of LOTS of synchs. Met AMAZING people, great friends, amazing stuff happened,etc. I'd do this for the rest of my life even if it just paid 400€ a month.

But I am hopeful, just a bit impatient to know what's next for me...
