First, Invest in Information and Learning.
It seems like a lot needs to get done, right now. Remember - millions of people have already done what you have tried to do. So, the best thing to do is to learn from some of them.
Get books from the library, or buy them. Take classes, free or otherwise. Find people you admire who have successfully navigated what you're trying to do and take them to tea or lunch and ask them questions. I've done about a dozen interviews with folks I admire and have them up in our online community for just that reason: The Business Oasis. Make sure the information resonates with you. As just one example, marketing professionals out there are all saying more or less the same thing, so you can find one that your heart really resonates with and is speaking your language.
Second, Get Help with the Numbers.
if you are running a business, you should not be doing your taxes yourself. There are too many deductions and pitfalls and details. You want to hire it out, even if you think you ca not afford it. If possible, hire a bookkeeper to keep your accounting clean from month to month. Not only will it help you at tax time, but it will also help you understand your business better, simply knowing how money flows in and out.
