Ok, I don't know how many people here have been self -employed. I have been most of my life. So you have been struggling to make this thing go and you still have not really perfected your product,but you know you are close and when you do it will be big, real big! so for now you have two major concerns;
1) Keeping the F-ing doors open
2) Making my breakthrough invention actually work and work flawlessly. Your close real close. You keep getting sidetracked with financial and business deals gone wrong. You are so damn tired some things you can't keep up with anymore like financial reporting financially and time wise. So that reporting will have to go on the back burner because if I can't get this technology to work it won't matter anyway in the long run if the ship sinks. So for now you have no choice but to tell people what they want to hear to keep this thing going and the next thing you know 2-3 years goes by in the blink of an eye.
Then one day, you did it, you finally got the technology to work, Ok now lets get some customers so you get busy promoting and hiring a sales force and doing demos for the medical community and most important the FDA, more money and time, SEC reporting now finally becomes important in order to get your ducks in a row for success. Paper work and financials, god it's been a blur I have no idea where I put that stuff and what I signed when, never mind that damn lawsuit over that deal that went bad.
Hey money is finally rolling in I can pay that auditing company the balance I have owed them from 3 years ago and have them help me get caught up, but what a mess they say I have made. My investors are pissed, but we are almost there. I can see the light and it will be all worth it when this hits it's stride they will see it was worth the wait and they will all forgive me on their way to the bank!
I think that is where we are now. IMO
