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…
Yes. I taught music on a high level for several years. When I finally quit I had such a burning disgusted disdain for all musicians that I still to this day cannot bear to listen to music. It is a horrible feeling and it sounds like you are setting yourself up for it.
