Your the last word you are.

I nearly bought a building last month to open a second shop and cafe.. and like you have two children, got mortgage an all €1.2M but on the 11th hour something stopped ( my heart ) me. I have bought the premises I'm in now aswell, I feel that you are a go getter and thrive to succeed, and if you really want it in your heart you will go for it, but if you have any doubts stop and listen to yourself only you have the answer..

Honey i think you are right and part of me says the only way to change this business from a lifestyle to a money spinner is to think outside the box and expand as much as you can manage. I have expaneded my shop to its capacity for services and i now feel that i want to conquer somewhere else but again think that if you did second venture with someone then this would take some pressure off!!

I really admire you for trying to push to get a second shop. I hope to be having the same thoughts one day!

My shops a tad small, paying £125 a week. Its not a fab area but i only really have passing trade too.

I cant extend either! My shop is currently the size of a small livingroom. Currently have a divider which creates a second room same size. Having this took out. Think the only way forwards is for me to take out divider and from there eventually get a bigger shop on same road or move.

Its a hard situation. Are you looking at a new startup or existing business with established trade? x

was thinking of concering a new town lol well see if i can sell me ideas there as i can here in such a small town i must be able to do the same in a larger town and hopefully make some money lol i would love to own my own home and its just not happening here there isn't enough customers to go round with all the other florists but i do well and NOW get a wage lol but really i don't want to get bored either and its heading that way i need a new venture and maybe going in with someone else that has the same interests then that may be the best idea so far

Still on the thinking and chatting mode at the mo
