See a lot of home run threads and getting started/new idea threads, but I’m wondering how many entrepreneurs have “sort of” made it here?
I’ve been building a small business marketing agency for around a decade. We’ll prob do around 600k this year but no real profit (long story, working on it). I get paid 6-7k as a salary kind of like a normal job I guess.
Started doing some additional consulting work last year to make more money while we restructure the agency business model and now make about 6-7k/mo there as well.
I’m healthy, good marriage, generally doing well. But work is a lot, battling burnout, have a few regrets, etc. Not perfect but not terrible either.
Anyone else feel like their business aspirations have led to a life that kind of plays out more like you have a normal job give or take, vs the big fail / multimillion dollar exit dichotomy that is usually presented?
Running a side social media management business on my own. Pretty much no overhead costs except my website and canva… I’ll do monthly add ons for special projects like SEO and website designs… but yearly my overhead is like… $300? I’m making about $1200/month consistently and have had a few months of $2700+/month. I’m also working full time while doing this - so overall I’m happy with this on such a small scale but hoping to scale up slowly.
