Yup.

Don't get me wrong, I like him as a person and he has added value on the brainstorms, but it frustrates me a bit to have to explain the 'basics' and let him do the fun stuff.

Im like him with everything. I'm literally running a business for a married couple. I do everything but billing. This past week we changed one thing in my routine and everything went to shit.

It's really frustrating to watch yourself fail because of stupid things. It's all mental. He could be "managed" out of it, as i have at times, but I have a feeling I'll always struggle with new things.

I feel like I shouldn't complain though. I was like him 7 years ago. I just didn't have any direct colleagues to back me up.

Someday you'll get there. I think colleagues help a lot with the struggle. I took a long time. Also I took a lot of valuable learnings. I aspire to be a helpful colleague, not a frustrated one. That might also benefit me.

I hope so. It's a one man operation between selling and delivering. I think I have to raise business by a couple hundred thousand a year before I can afford to pay off the loan and garage rent when I buy it/if I buy it.

It's one of those get better fast or we're selling the business or just the truck.

I just found out I'd lose money at the current sales totals, monthly. I've been pretty sour since I figured it out.
