Should I sell my business or keep it?
You've run the numbers so many times they've stopped meaning anything. But the numbers aren't the whole question — how much of you is in it is the other half. Get one read before you answer an email you can't unsend.

What this question usually is
- The offer isn't tempting because of the money. It's tempting because it's permission to rest.
- Keeping it isn't about the money either. It's about whether you'd still build it if nobody paid you.
- Selling isn't quitting. Keeping isn't courage. Both are just the next chapter with a different risk.
What actually helps
- 1Write what you'd do the week after the wire lands. If the answer is 'nothing, finally', that's real information.
- 2Write what the business would look like in two years if you kept it and gave it the hours you no longer have. Be honest about the hours.
- 3Ask once for a direction — sell or hold — then sleep on it before you respond to anyone.
The question isn't whether the offer is fair. It's whether you still want the job the business has become.
One question, one direction — not a verdict on your future.
Questions people actually ask
Should I sell my business or keep it?
Ask what you'd do the week after the wire lands, and whether you'd still build it unpaid. Then ask for one direction and sleep on it before answering anyone.
How do I know if the offer is good?
Fairness is a numbers question you can hire help for. Whether you still want the job is the part only you can read.
What if I regret selling?
Regret usually comes from acting fast. A direction gives you the next step, and nothing has to be signed tonight.
