Nothing against those insta-delivery companies, but small businesses like mine just can't compete. It's a frustrating time to be in this line of work, that's for sure.

Yes unfortunately more and more small businesses are going out of business thanks to the big box places such as amazon and walmart. They just cant compete anymore.

i just really want to penetrate the current market so that I can ensure that my business will be booming by the time it turns 2 years old. There is so much more work to be done here.

I feel you. It's so hard to compete with the bigger names. It really takes hard work, patience, and a little luck as well.

That is unfortunate. You can work on your resources and connection. It might take a while but you'll eventually get there.
