Is my business worth it?
This is not a question about the money, and you know it — you've done the spreadsheet a hundred times. It's about whether the thing still deserves the next year of you. This page reads the moment and gives a direction: keep building, change the shape of it, or start closing. The decision stays yours.
What this question usually is
- 'Worth it' is never really about profit. It's about whether you'd choose this again on a Tuesday, knowing what you know now.
- The bad weeks feel louder than the good ones, so you start judging a year by your worst month.
- Most people don't want to quit. They want permission to change how it works — smaller, slower, or with a partner.
What actually helps
- 1Write your first ordinary Monday of the next year in this business. Not the launch day — the boring one.
- 2Then write that same Monday with the business half its size, and again with it gone. Notice which one you'd actually show up for.
- 3Wait until morning before you tell anyone what you decided. The offer, the hire, or the closing can all survive one night.
You're not asking if it's profitable. You're asking if it's still yours. Those two answers are different, and only one of them is the real question.
One question, one direction — a mirror. Not financial or legal advice, and not a forecast about the market.
Questions people actually ask
Should I keep it, sell it, or close it?
Those are three different decisions, not one. This page is for keep / change / close. If the real question is selling, the selling page fits better — it walks through the first ordinary Monday under each option.
What if it's losing money?
Then the numbers matter more, but they're still not the whole answer. The direction is about where the next unit of your effort goes — into the part that works, or into an honest exit.
