I started a service-based business three years ago, and we just hit six figures in revenue (only about 10-20% is profit). I know exactly what I need to do to expand the business and grow in profitability; however, I hate this industry.
I struggle to find qualified candidates to offer the service. The clients are extremely demanding and high-maintenance. I hate offering the service myself due to the clients.
Has anyone else started a business they hate? I don’t want to just “give up” when the company could be successful, but I can’t stand this industry…
You are 3 years in and only hitting $10-20k in annual profit. Does this include your salary? I hope not. I am not sure that this is worth continuing.
This needs an answer. If you’re not getting paid I imagine that is most of the frustration.
