Overwhelmed and questioning myself

How Do I?

I’ve posted a few times in here about my successes and setbacks and I’m feeling overwhelmed with what’s happening on my journey at the moment.

My online jewellery business went from making 40k per month to $0 due to copyright issues forcing me to take the business in a different direction. This happened about a year ago and I essentially made bad decisions and I went broke. 2026 has been an uphill battle and I’m slowly making the money to be able to live as well as get the business where it was again.

I’m making progress but I want to accelerate that and have applied for business funding with my bank and have been approved. I’m just feeling overwhelmed by it and second guessing everything I’m doing. I am 25 years old and this is my first business that I’m trying to make a success whilst also living and paying bills.

The loan is only for 30k and is mainly going into branding and advertising but I’m just feeling overwhelmed by getting funding for the first time. How have you guys dealt with similar situations during difficult times. Most people my age are working a corporate job and partying on the weekends so it’s hard for me to relate or communicate how I’m feeling as most people haven’t been in the position I’m in.

I know the money will allow me to get the business where it needs to go it’s just a bit daunting and it’s overwhelming when I’m doing everything myself. Any experience, advice, or support is very much appreciated. Thank you
