Staying Positive 2

My first blog post here was a shambles, I uploaded a picture and then couldn't add any text. Well never mind my title says staying positive so I'm continuing on. I uploaded that gorgeous picture of my grand daughters. One is 12 years old and the other is 12 days old. My daughter is over 40 and when her marriage broke down she was a shambles but now with a new man and a new baby her life is perfect. Who said that babies don't smile?
After a couple of weeks here I am coming up to my first full payment. I must admit that I have had my doubts but I have decided that it is a small price to pay for all the support and training and if I end up with enough money to semi retire on then great.
I have 2 bricks and mortar businesses and they are making a profit but the amount of money I have to spend every week to make a profit is crazy.
I have worked it out that by paying my monthly subs here, it will come to 564 dollars, (about £470), a year.
I spend that every week on stock to turn over £4000 a month and that's not including my time and my partner's time.
When I make this work, and I will, I'm going to semi retire, can't wait.
