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…

    This is great advice, I tried to get a partner last year… a few people were interested but couldn’t get them to follow through. I’m so far past the point of burn out, I pray every day for it to be over. I would make a terrible partner at this point. Need to sell and cash out asap, get what I can and be 100% done. I have people interested to buy 🤞

      I think you can say you gave it a good shot but if it’s making you unhappy, it’s never going to be worth it. You need to at least like the majority of the time you spend working. Cash out if you can mate, life’s too short. Good luck with everything 👍🏻
