text: How long have you been in the business, personally  I think going back to work for someone after self employment and being your own Boss, is a step backwards.  If the business is not producing what you expected, then you need to examine the reasons for this rather than throw in the towel and go and work for a fixed income employer, whom will govern your whole life and time and basically everything you do until you retire. \n\nYou must have been pretty unhappy to have bought the business in the first place and quit your last job, so why return to the same street you left ?  Look at that business and all thats wrong with it and put those things right first. If  it was all a big mistake and you are really not at all cut out for business ownership, then do return to being an employee! Good luck.
