If you all remember a couple weeks ago I posted a snippit from a newsletter I get from a local wine shop.
Here was a paragraph from that newsletter:
We're changing our hours starting next week
Closed Sunday-Tuesday; open Wednesday 2-7; Thursday, 12-7; Friday 12-8; Saturday 10-8. If you are saying to yourself, "dang, Jim is a slacker being closed Sunday-Tuesday", it's just because I'm spending more brain power and time trying to think of more ways we can better entertain you and part youfrom your hard earned cashola.
Total hours open per week = 30 hours.......... Nice if your rich.........
Here's this weeks news letter. I guess their hard work payed off:
What we have to tell you is that we had a meeting with our landlord and we told him that we are going to put our business up for sale. Try as we might, we haven’t been able to meet all of our financial obligations based on current sales volume. It’s been a very difficult journey for us to get to this point, and we have accomplished much, just not enough. We have sacrificed much, but realize we must seek more regular income to bring more stability to the home front. Carol and I have three sons. Our oldest is 25 and on his own. Our twin boys are about to turn 16 and have the balance of high school, then college in front of them.

We have tried very hard to increase the profitability of the wine shop to the point that we could make a modest living to help support our family. There has been progress, but this has been slower than planned, partially due to moving the shop last March. While we fully believe that Carolina Winesellers will become a profitable small business over the next two years, the financial demands of our children are with us now. We need a course correction.
Personally, I think the term "we need a course correction" is a complete understatement.
Just goes to show, you get out of something, just what you put into it.Edited by: jobe05
