Within a week, I had given notice to all of my 10 employees that they were about to lose their jobs

Talk about a house made of cards - you were hardly in it for the long haul were you, where were your cash reserves, backup plans ect.

Turn off the google tap and you had not built up any customer loyalty, none of your visitors deemed a second visit worthwhile - I find it hard to believe really.

Sounds like you are doing ok but I cant help but think that your business sounds like it was a juicy panda target.
