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…
It’s not uncommon for entrepreneurs to find themselves in a similar situation as you. Building a successful business takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. And while it’s great to see your company grow and hit six figures in revenue, it’s understandable that you’re feeling burnt out and unfulfilled if you’re no longer passionate about the industry you’re in.
