Part 6/8:
Each month brought further dismal results. Despite working six days a week, I never managed to break even. By June, my earnings dwindled to just £206. Unfortunately, the trend continued: July brought in £453, August yielded £461, and September barely managed £298. My best month was October, barely scraping through with £857, only to crash back down to £53 in November.
The Decision to Close Up Shop
By December, it was clear the business was unsustainable. I made only £274 that month, leading me to the difficult decision to close my shop. Reluctantly, I put the store up for sale, initially asking for £10,000. However, after an influx of potential buyers who scrutinized my books and identified my losses, interest dwindled.
