This isn't a request for money!!! I need hugs/prayers/healing to help me through a rough time. The stress of my perdicament is going to give me a nervous breakdown. Literally! I'm at a breaking point. I've had a breakdown before, so I know what it feels like coming on.

I've owned my business for 2 years. I bought it as an investment. On one hand, its growing, and that's good! I should be able to sell at a nice profit. On the other hand, it takes money to grow. More money than I have. I have run out of working capital and that's causing horrendous growing pains! If I can't fix the lack of working capital, I'll be forced to close down the business. (Which would be a waste since it's, technically, going well.) I'm trying to sell the business so someone with more money can keep it going...and I can RELAX!!

The messages/readings I get from EVERYONE at my church (I'm a Spiritualist) says that God has a plan...that I'm doing God's work through the business and so it won't sell, YET. My response to that is...If God needs me to keep the doors open any longer, S/He better help me obtain the money to stay open. And I'm talking about IMMEDIATELY.

Please, send hugs and healing energy my way to keep me from breaking down before I figure out how to keep the doors open until I can sell the business.

Thank you.

I am sending you one of my HUGE hugs - hope it helps.  I feel certain that everything will work out for you, if you can keep the faith.  In your prayers, be specific in your request for help, eg I need to see money flow towards me so that I can continue with my business and expand it so that ...

I do appreciate what you are going through - I opened my business a year ago and, like you, the working capital has been eaten up.  I am saying my prayers with sincerity every day and express my gratitude for everything that comes my way ... it does work.  Also use positive visualisation - visualise what you want to happen and BELIEVE in it ... again, it works.

Brightest Blessings and very best wishes

Sarah

PS  Would you like me to send some Reiki energy in your direction?

Sarah, thank you. You are very right. I just get fragmented and scattered when I get so frightened. I can honestly say, I felt the calming energy flowing just from making a specific request for healing. I was given a TEMPORARY answer to my prayers for working capital just one hour ago.

I thank God for bringing me to this place where I could rediscover the strength within another souls concern. Bless you (and all who read the post and silently sent out good wishes).

I would gladly accept Reiki energy. THANK YOU. I am a Reiki Master, but have found myself using the energy increasingly less often lately. I've allowed the nature and demands of my business to keep me from utilizing that energy. Perhaps your gift of energy will revitalize my somewhat dormant energy level.  ?

A big Bear Hug to you Kate.

I understand very good the toll a business can take on you since I have own one for almost 30 years.
In contrariety to you, my shop has due to change in peoples habit (DVD rental) shown an negative development for the last couple of year.
In the end we come up with the same problem...the cash flow.

With a growing business you have to look at your turnaround on your stock, it's fast done to use to much money on items that just are warming the shelf.
You must also look at how your customer pay....if all is in cash when sold...then good...if credit...lower the running time.
You need also to be strict to "follow" them up if pay don't come at time settled, no one thank you for extra running time, they just try to make it longer next time.

Good luck to you.....stay positive...and you will manage fine

I would be honoured to send healing to you - will do so this evening.  I do sincerely hope that it works alongside and boosts your own energies.

Brightest Blessings

Sarah
