I own a business, but I hate the clients. We’re a small, successful business on paper, but my successful is dependent upon the emotions of mothers, daughters, and how much work low performers put in to getting results. It’s like owning a highly competitive cheerleading gym. I am extremely obsessed with my work, and I’m very competitive: I want offer the best service, get the best results, and be the best. But someone is always complaining even when their daughter is on the top, surrounded by supportive coaches and peers. I just can’t take the drama and conflicts anymore.

This business is very year-round, so I don’t know when to sell. I don’t know how to sell as it would take some time to replace me entirely, and it’s not worth it. I could take my skillset and make more money doing something else than the time it would take to replace me.

How do I get out of this business? I feel trapped or suffocated.
