Harriette Cole: I quit my job to chase my dream, and I'm embarrassed about what's happened
"I quit my job to chase my entrepreneurial dream of owning a bakery. It took me 20 years to save up and to get the courage to quit my stable 9-to-5 job. I've been open about a year, and my bakery is failing. Despite my best efforts, I'm barely breaking even, and some months I'm losing money. I work long hours, often seven days a week,"
"Every night, she cries when she has to do her reading homework because she keeps getting words mixed up. I've tried to get her extra help by taking her to a dyslexia learning center, but she cries when she has to go there as well. She tells me it makes her feel stupid and different from the other kids. I do my best to encourage"
