Car Wash in Canada

My business account was overdrafted! :-(

I run businesses for almost 5 years now, I had experiences that the business account was overdrafted twice. 
I felt bad every time I had this kind of a incident. The fear about these drove me loosing the optimistic attitude for the future. What if I lose this business?
The first time was quite easy to get over the tightened cash flow. It was nothing but short-term tightness of the cash. I was not afraid of the bankruptcy at all at this moment.  But the second time recently was totally the different level. I think this financial crunch won't go away easily because the cash does not come in without the sales increase. There are many invoices on the table to be paid soon. The balance of the bank account is nearly up to the cost to run the car wash. The shortage of the cash is coming from the low sales volume in the business and the late payment of the company account. The heavy snowfall and the extreme cold were making it worse recently besides the economy recession. So far I am in a tunnel that has no light of the way out. My wife talks to console me with some cheerful sayings. But it feels like empty words for me. The biggest problem for me to live in Canada is that I have no family to count on in terms of financial supporting. What will my family's life be when things go bad? I really don't want to think about that.

Before I was not in a business, I used to be a salary-person. Sometimes I heard the people who running a business that the end of the month is coming too quick. I never felt the meaning in my whole spirit. But now I can feel the meaning of the saying strongly. I am still wondering that how those who had financial tightness get over the moment and the crisis if there are none to lend them money.

The more I think of this crunch, the more I depressed. Can I survive until the business picks up? There should be no doubt on this survival. I believe in that the universe is ruled by the law which thought becomes things.  There is always hope for those who believe that doing the best can bring a good result eventually. Also I should work harder physically not to have bad thoughts and bad feeling!
