Start Over & Do It Right

It is not uncommon for an entrepreneur to start their business equipped only with
an idea, passion, and a "seat of the pants" operating process.  That has worked for
many over the past century, but it has caused the downfall of many as well.

So, if things are not meeting your vision then perhaps it is time to take a step back and look at what you created.  Undoubtedly, you have gained many insights into developing your business which can now be a big benefit to you.

Start over, in your mind and on paper, I do not mean close your business.  Use all that you have learned and apply it as part of a game plan just as if you were starting a new business.
Do right the tings you had done wrong.  Start with the things you wanted to do but didn't. Benefit all you can from the knowledge you have acquired just as if you were giving advise to someone who was starting their own business like yours.  Remember that every drop of sweat, every tear you shed, every ache and pain you fell all belongs to you, for your business, for your future.  Start with the end in mind.

Put in the hard work, the effort, do the things you least like to do first, and plow through the obstacles with the new found knowledge that you have acquired, and as my old friend
Zig Ziglar would say, "I'll See You At The Top".
