I feel the same as Mozzie, if you love doing this then you are not wasting your time. I know that I have felt really down when sales were low, but then I realize that I could be pushing more. This business is only what you make it. Mozzie is also right that maybe this is a great time for the partner to pull out. My husband and I started out doing this with another couple and they quickly realized that this is a lot of work and having full time jobs you may be up till all hours of the night pouring candles to fill orders. Your partner may not be up to this but you sound like you are. You need to do what is best for your business and if you love it don't give it up. There will be other stores that you can get your stuff into and other ways to go about selling. Please don't let someone else decide if you are wasting your time. When you feel low you need to do exactly what you did and come to this board for some encouragment. There is usually someone here who has been in the same situation and we are all here to help each other out!
