Decided to Take a Business Break

My sales in my business suddenly stopped. I think that there are not so many people are into buying expensive gadgets for now. I was able to sell my last piece of smartphone earlier and I have decided to take a break from selling them online. It takes 2 weeks before that last piece gets sold. So it seems that the business will no longer thrive if I keep on pushing it. For now, I just have to save my sales while I'm waiting for another business idea to sprout. I'm not in a hurry since I also need this break from that venture anyway. Maybe I can just send the funds on investment but I'm still thinking if I will have another business to pursue. It's not that huge anyway so I dont have to worry too much where to put it. If the business is not very good anymore, are you willing to take a break?

I hope you find something else to take its place. We are retired now and live on Social Security. Have a great Monday.

It was the same here but then they announced that they will do it on October instead. Maybe I will do it again by then.

Sometimes, it can be good to take a bit of a break. If you're not having much luck, maybe take a week or so and see what happens and how you feel after.

I agree. It's better to take a break and focus on other ventures for now.

I still have my little vintage loudspeaker business going, but things are slow right now. It'll pick up when it picks up.

That's true. It's best to just relax for now.

Too bad about a lot of businesses lately. I hope things pick up soon. If you can afford the break, I say take it.

True. I'd rather take a break for now. I don't want to risk not having liquid cash in this situation.

It's always a nice idea to take a break to rethink, restrategize and to refocus.

I agree. I don't have to keep on doing it if it's not rewarding anymore. I just need to take a break for now.

There is probably an art in knowing when it's time to quit or at least have a break.

I had good sales in the middle of the pandemic. But since I've made a lot from the previous months, maybe it's better to lay low for a while.
