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…
3 years to hit 6 figures with a 10-20% profit margin would have anybody hating their business. Does this business have the capability of being very profitable for you? If not, cut your losses. Is so, work towards hiring to replace yourself in the day to day.
