I am not saying I am one to give up on anything, but there were definitely times when I was that small that I thought about giving up. There have been countless people who can verify that it is harder to grow now that it was a year or more ago and it is going to continue to get harder as things move forward. I for one am glad I persevered, but I can understand why some would give up when this is potentially their sole means of providing for their family. Luckily I see it as a hobby too and I have a real job to get my bills paid every month. I am glad you stuck with it as well!
