Web designer in debt - family business doesn't pay (alien.top)

Hello, so I found myself in difficult situation. We have a family business and my equity in it is growing nicely, but the problem is with cash. We don't pay anything to ourselves (other than just pay the bills).

I am in debt, christmas is coming, girlfriend, rent is waiting to be paid and I see no other way of coming out of this then refocus on my previous freelance web design career through nights.

How do you guys navigate situations like this? You know, when things get hard? I am looking for some encouraging words and support, I honestly don't know why I am even creating this thread..

I know this might be weird, but in case anyone need some help with design work, I would love to help. I can send portfolio in the chat.

I'm a Developer, not a Designer but when things get tight financially while I'm pursuing business ventures I do whatever I can to find freelance clients. It'll be tough, but sometimes it's needed if the business is not paying yet.

Do you have any insights as to when the business will be self-sufficient? If it's not anytime in the next ~6 months, I would ask myself if this is something that needs my attention right now
