MBA2115 Q&A Wednesday: I feel trapped in my business. How do I get out?

The $100 MBA Show

It’s a depressing scenario: you built a business. You’re not happy with it. And you’re stuck exactly where you are…forever?

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener who invested 10 years into a small business — and hates it. It does just well enough to survive, but not well enough to support the ideal lifestyle or allow its founder to cash out. So what now?

This is more common than you might think. And there are always options.

Even Omar has been in exactly this same situation. The problem isn’t financial, or even strategic. It’s emotional. So many feelings are tied up in a business, and so many fears about what could happen if you make a big change leave us paralyzed.

Today, we explore what the options are when you really want out. We’ll discuss how to navigate the emotions involved, play out best and worst-case scenarios, and understand that you’re never as trapped as you trick yourself into believing.
