See a lot of home run threads and getting started/new idea threads, but I’m wondering how many entrepreneurs have “sort of” made it here?
I’ve been building a small business marketing agency for around a decade. We’ll prob do around 600k this year but no real profit (long story, working on it). I get paid 6-7k as a salary kind of like a normal job I guess.
Started doing some additional consulting work last year to make more money while we restructure the agency business model and now make about 6-7k/mo there as well.
I’m healthy, good marriage, generally doing well. But work is a lot, battling burnout, have a few regrets, etc. Not perfect but not terrible either.
Anyone else feel like their business aspirations have led to a life that kind of plays out more like you have a normal job give or take, vs the big fail / multimillion dollar exit dichotomy that is usually presented?
Started a small bookkeeping business in 2021. Specifically, We work with local construction companies It’s just 2 of us and we turn about 240k a year.
Profit however…… maybe I keep 10-12k at the end of everything ? Currently paying myself a 55k salary so I guess I can see the end as a “bonus” at the end of the year.
Working on getting my EA so we can start completing tax returns. I’m hoping that’ll push us to the next level
