[@iChannelz88]

People give her alot of flak for 7 years and 700k in losses. It can take around 2-6 years until a new business becomes profitable and it looks like she has had alot of startup costs with her manufacturing and patents and i think thats what Peter understands when he says that she hasn’t wasted her money. She built the foundation and now she just needs to make it work

[@10Hags5]

True... she actually explains where her money has been spent which makes sense. She has a unique product. Hope she made it

[@bobstirling6885]

If she doesn't massively expand her turnover quickly she will be bankrupt.

[@oyuyuy]

Not making profit is fine for a growing business spending tons on marketing and expansion - she is not. She's been making zero progress year after year and she's almost certainly half-assing the business and just letting her husband pump money into it.

[@Erickhetfield]

She lost money for 5 years and her sales didn't grow at all. The issue is not the losses, but the fact the business clearly is stagnant.
