Welcome back, btp. Sorry it didn't work out for you, but well done to have got your old job back out of so many applicants.
Knowing when to call it a day is sometimes a good thing. |

As glib as it sounds, there are more regrets in things we haven't done, than things we have!
Well done on the new job. |

Hi BTP,
Sorry to hear about the business but congratulations on getting your job. Being self-employed sounds idyllic to so many people but as you have discovered, the reality is somewhat different. You work harder, longer hours for far less and the risk is rather large.
Don't give up though because the jams and preserves can always be done more as a hobby on your own terms. Slowly building up stock and then perhaps, selling at the gate?
The important thing is that you will also have learned many valuable lessons, which will stand you in good stead should you choose the self-employed route again. |

I think that it is an amazing achievement to have set up a business and lasted four years in these grueling economic times. You must have put in a lot of effort and commitment and had a really good product. Perhaps the preserves can now just supplement your current income? WI Markets etc.? |
