If you can't make payroll, stop staring at the ceiling in your bedroom and feeling so alone, while you plan how to fire your expensive first hire.

Hold a company meeting, put the accounts up on the wall, explain that you have almost no money left and the company is about to go broke. Be willing to consider ideas, but don't string people along so you can postpone pulling the plug on them. It's possible that your employees (individually or collectively) will come up with solutions that you can't; your lack of transparency about the firm's health may be part of your problem.



That. Since you have pretty much accepted that you failed as the "leader" of your crew, why pretend you are one now?

Have a meeting with the guys that do work for your company/product first, LISTEN to them, and then take it from there.
