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…
1 you need to know your numbers. Saying 10-20% tells me you don’t know for sure. There’s a huge difference in that -
2 10-20k in profit isn’t worth doing anything unless you’re already a millionaire and doing this for the fun of it.
