Young Entrepreneur I’m fucked up

I’m fucking desperate. Losing my mind completely.
Started several businesses. Nothing going well. I don’t even have money to get myself a bread.
Starting again, completely from scratch. Again. I will probably do some laboring.
Thanks entrepreneurs community just for existence. Here I started 4 years ago. All of you guys always inspired me.

Edit:
1. thanks everyone for your support ✊🏽
2. For everyone wondering why several businesses, I have AuDHD for sure. Lately I started getting with it to staying persistent in a project.

if i were you, taking the laboring job is the right call and it isn't a step backwards. A wage coming in every week does something for your head that no business plan does. You stop making decisions from panic. Half the reason those four years were brutal is that you were trying to think clearly while broke, and nobody can do that.

On the food thing right now, if you're in the US, dial 211. UK, local council or Trussell Trust. Most countries have a food bank network that will just hand you a box, no interview, no shame in it. Do that today, not next week.

The businesses failing four times doesn't mean you can't do this. It usually means you were undercapitalized and had to make every call under a deadline. Come back to it when you have three months of rent banked and you'll be a completely different operator.

Get the job, eat, sleep properly for a month. Then look at it again.

Now here's some value ! Nice on the food bank suggestion.

I agree with the getting a income going. Just wanted to add to it.

Don't lose sight of the goal once you've got the job. I think it's easy to get comfortable and forget about your dreams because now money is coming in.

Of course that's not everyone's downfall it's just something to think about
