Currently working about 40 hours @ work and 40-60 on startup per week--so when I say I'm working two jobs I'm not exaggerating. My hobby is working. Problem is businesses are closed during my free time, and I can't sell while at work. I'm on borrowed time with my employer anyway--been pushing the limits of civility already (maxed out on sick/vacation). I doubt I have the political stock left to make new arrangements, but appreciate the ideas.

You are in the valley of despair. You are feeling the pain. It's normal. Don't give up. There's no magic genie, getting F&F money isn't going to make things better. In all likelihood, it will make things worse. I love what you are doing. A lot of people talk a lot about the decline of newspapers and you are doing something great to rescue them! What are we going to do without local news? We say, "Think globally, act locally!" but there is no local news anymore. It's dying and you are helping to keep it alive. And you too should stay alive. I feel the exhaustion in your words. Don't give up! Keep at it. Pull back on your hours if you have to. Don't burn yourself out. Don't jeopardize your children's future or your family. It's hard, you're in a really tough spot right now. I have no advice to offer. I do have encouragement though. Keep at it. Keep giving it your all. You're doing a great thing. It can't be easy with your team all over the country. It's like you're all working alone, together. I've been there. I am there. It's not easy. But, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it, right? You're insane. Admit that. It's true. You're outside the box. I don't know what your future holds, but I want it to be great. F&F, Angel, lots of newspapers signing up for your services, whatever! I want you to get the money you need to keep your business alive. I think you can do it. I think the world will be better if you succeed!
