Goodmorning, I need to make an announcement/ post addressing a couple of things. I would like to start with a quote, that my LEGALLY BINDING WIFE shared with me. A man who lacks purpose, distracts himself with the events of other people's lives. I have seen, and been shown posts, and suggestive comments concerning my personal life, that also can have an affect on business, reputation, and cause people to question my character. Rumors and comments that I am sending money to some random girl in Africa, which is why I struggle so much.
This is simply not true. I am not in any such situation, nor am I being taken advantage of by anyone in my personal life. My focus has been, and always will be on providing for my family, creating a stronger future, and taking care of the responsibilities that ive chosen for my life, whether or not others understand those choices should not be my responsibility or problem.
Like many people I have faced challenges in business, and in my personal life. We are living in an age of unprecedented failure and struggle, particularly for small business. And so the rumors of being scammed, and " stupid" , and so on, cannot and will not define who I am or my work. I do know the source from which these rumors began, and I am disappointed. I do not however know the person who chose to put these lies and false accusations out into the local food pages from can of paint, I only know who his mutual" friend" is with me.
I am committed as strongly as ever, to doing the tight thing, to working hard, proclaiming Christ either directly or through my example in actions, and in trusting God as my source and to continue opening doors in my personal and business life. The truth will set you free, it is a biblical quote that refers to knowing and believing in Jesus. It refers to spiritual and emotional liberation in knowing that because of him, we dont have to worry about being good enough, he paid the price. But it also is used often as a worldly quote, and I know that it can also be considered in a way that when lies are exposed, and the source of those lies, it will open doors and opportunities for those who are liberated from those lies.
With all of that being said, I currently have decided after speaking with the Bunker, that I am quite possibly not going to reopen my business. It is a matter of common business sense, a lack of sales, vs financial necessity. I am far from done, and will make a return in some way, but for now, as it stands , I need to make a decision based on common sense . Thank you, and I am sorry for such a long and depressing message.
